It's pretty hard as an indicator to miss this, considering that it's one of the very rare times a government loudly and proudly declares it's going to intentionally cause a recession.

A lot of supporters of the trade restrictions don't care. They're working people who don't own a lot of stocks and all they've seen is their jobs sent overseas.

To them, it doesn't even matter if things get "worse" for a while. Their life is already meeting every economic headwind imaginable.

Freaking what? Are they food insecure? Facing a military onslaught. Come on.

Are they food insecure?

You'll have been quoted on thirty different subreddits by the end of the week. This is hilariously tone deaf to the hardships many are facing.

Absolutely tone-deaf, but there's a real point.

"Things are terrible, so we have to do something!" No, you have to do something that will help. Just "doing something" isn't good enough. And if you think "things can't get any worse", yeah, they can. A lot worse.

Don't make random changes just because things are bad. You need changes that will help, which is a lot harder.
