He's not going to wait even 90 days before he starts playing this game again. It'll only take until he sees himself being portrayed as weak for backing off on some fucking cable news opinion spot. I don't even give it a week.

I hope the other countries of the world are still working out how to avoid trading with the USA until Trump has gone. The only thing he has established is that the USA is no longer a reliable trade partner.

Or trading with individual states while circumnavigating the feds, thisll help keep them from manipulating the market as easily while directly fucking over federal control.

Legally fuck no, but my family has a saying "It ain't illegal if the Sheriff is involent" fact of the matter is that if the feds can't enforce their authority it ceases to exist. Frankly speaking it's also the duty of the states to ignore the feds and even outright defy them when the federal government hurts the states population.

Yeah I guess I just meant like... logistically?

Ports of entry don't move, and shipping containers are huge. I'm probably just not thinking flexible enough.

The feds are heavily reliant on state support and everyone turning in their paperwork, on top of that if memory serves right it's the IRS who handles most of that which means they probably don't have the man power to actually investigate what's going on. Fact of the matter is the feds are almost completely propped up by a handful of states, this means that the second those states just stop helping federal power will start to evaporate.

Ooooooh. Interesting. Thanks for sharing!

I would prefer that they hurry up with it. With the unbelievably short attention span and memory of his voterbase, 90 days is about 87 too late for them to be able to correlate their support of him with any financial consequences that personally affect them.

They'll be changed again tomorrow.

The crazy isn't going to stop.
