The Imperial Presidency, Part 2

[Labster]

I'm kinda reassured that Trump is trying more tariffs. It means that he isn't going to be doing something REALLY stupid.

And I don't consider "surrender national sovereignty or I tax Americans more!" to be the kind of flex he seems to.

Don't feel too reassured.  They're not really tariffs, they're economic sanctions on NATO nations specifically for deploying troops to defend another NATO nation.

Canada is so fucked right now.  If the USA continues on its course to leave NATO, it's going to be really hard for them to find allies that can project power into North America.  Trump's Anschluss plans continue apace, I guess.
