If he had a plan for imposing tariff taxes in stages, business could plan. But it is all on and then partly off and on and off and on.

If he didn't do mass deportations at the same time, ....

If he didn't do reduction in government spending and jobs all of a sudden, ....

If he didn't do a massive increase in the deficit and US gov debt at the same time as everything else, ....

If he didn't crush the tourist and educational system on top of everything else, ....

But he doesn't think except to indulge in magical thinking. "We have billions and billions of dollars coming in!" "We have trillions of new investments!"
