The American economy is like a classic Ford Mustang. It goes really hard on the straights, but if you run into something you crash hard.

The European economy is like a Volvo. It's not really fast, not that maneuverable, but full of seatbelts, airbags and crumple zones so if you hit something you probably walk away.

Paraphrased from Mark Blyth.

Not that historica, so far it seems to imitate the 2008 financial crisis crash. But yeah, the financial system almost died then. With Trump, the whole global economic system could very well end in the wood chipper.

To be fair, tariffs can be implemented in a clean surgical way or start tiny and slowly ramp up so everybody can adjust and anticipate. Tariffs can be used like a feather to tickle the market. Trump is using the whole chicken coup and throwing them in other people's faces.

Yeah, it's always ideology first. No argument or evidence can convince them otherwise.

What do you mean US? There's a country left after this?

Nah, the big ones have their generous bailouts already guaranteed by Trump and the small fry doesn't have much influence to stop anything.

They'll keep saying it's still a good idea butt just barely executed for years. That's what happened with Brexit in the UK.

And they have been trained to hate government, science and experts.
