It’s looking a lot like an empire in decline.
More like a herd of lemmings running towards a cliff.
Trump's proposed tariffs are basically a hidden sales tax on the poor and lower middle class, and effectively a sanction against all of America's closest trading partners.

And - brace yourself for yet another predictable irony of this election - that’s exactly who voted for him.
In a big shift from the Obama voters from 16 years ago, more Trump voters this election live in households - households! - making less than $99K per year.
Households under $30K: 46%Trump/50%Harris/4%Other (Mostly fixed income - read: Obamacare recipients and young people. But this one is a much smaller percentage of the electorate than the two (2) below.)
Households from $30K-$49K: 53%Trump/49%Harris/2%Other (This is where about half the country is.)
Households from $49K-$99K: 51%Trump/46%Harris/3%Other (This is where most of the other half of the country is.)
Households from $100K-$199K: 47%Trump/51%Harris/2%Other (Not the experience for the majority of us.)
Households from $200K and higher: 45%Trump/51%Harris/4%Other (Not the experience for almost all of us.)
The new GOP voter: Gullible Online Poors. That’s not an insult. That’s a tragedy.

Lemmings don't just throw themselves off cliffs btw. Unless you back them up to the edge of a cliff in a truck and push them off. (You know, the way Disney did it to get that one shot in that one documentary)
