We already have tariffs. They’re just being applied against us by other countries.
Trump doesn’t drink or gamble. He does however use leverage and finds it where others don’t or cannot see it even when it’s right in front of them.
I worry when I hear the messaging about short term pain. Perceptions of what is short term can vary and a lot of Americans feel like they got their bellies full of pain over the last four years of Biden which is a big reason why they voted for DJT, for relief. If the benefits of this do not start to emerge in a timely manner, as in before the midterms, the voters who are persuadable may jump ship. It also would help inspire more confidence if people on our side would present a
robust defense of this policy instead of all the tepid soundbites I’m hearing out there right now.

It will come down to “it’s the economy, stupid”. If Americans don’t believe they are better off financially in the Fall of 2026, Republicans will pay a political price.
Tariffs are an historically proven method of revenue collection. Its not a new experimental theory. 🙄
Bigger gamble than possible jail for made up charges?
Bigger than the gamble of getting shot? Oh.....yes, they already did that.
