We’ll see how this plays out. Republican’s got two years to stand up their plan and not screw over Americans and how much it’ll alienate our allies that we buy generics from.

The clock starts in August, so the 100% tariffs will start in time for the next presidential election. Is Trump trying to screw over the next Republican candidate?
No. If Republicans maintain their control the tariffs will likely be canceled or delayed. If they don’t and Democrats gain power then Republicans will blame the Democrats in congress. If that doesn’t work, then they get another shot of doing the same thing during the next midterm election. It’s a classic play that Republicans run over and over and over again because most US voters are either too stupid or too apathetic to understand how they are being governed.
No object permanence. They can’t grasp how a decision made 4 years ago affects their present conditions. It’s like trying to punish a dog for something it did an hour ago. They can’t grasp that a causes b if the consequences aren’t immediate.
