        Question: Do you think the GOP members of Congress are about to reconsider just how useful the idiot in the White House is?

        Not primarily because of this. But yeah, I think some of them will recognize he's going to be an anvil come November, if he makes it that far.

        Considering how much I value your analysis, “if he makes it that far” is now the most hopeful thing I’ve read in weeks. Thanks!

        Levis is headquartered in San Francisco, but less than 1% of its products are manufactured in this country. This retaliation is purely symbolic.

        It's not just about the precision targeting of Republican Representatives, these products are all items of American Iconography. Ironically, only the Jack Daniel's is made in the USA. I don't think tarrifs are gonna work the way Trump thinks they're gonna work.

        Of course, the EU cannot directly target any Trump products in tariffs on US goods, as all Trump products are made in China.

        Wait, wait, they can use strategic and tactical intelligence to effectively signal and achieve results that they've planned for? What sort of black magic is this???

        Well then, at least one side of the trade partnership was ready to move in a tactical way to insane pronouncements of the other side...wonder what they have that we don't (...maybe leaders who listen to their staff...)?

        It would seem @POTUS does not have a clue and lacks history of past failures of tariff acts.

        Harley-Davidson was propped up for years by protectionist tariffs on Japanese motorcycles.
