9. This House of Cards will soon topple over!

The Turd is getting increasingly desperate as are the Turd's lying sycophants. The Turd's tariffs have now come home to roost. People are getting real pissed off about the economy. Everything is more expensive. Everyone sees the Bad Moon Rising. They can only keep propping the stock markets up for so long with bullshit about the tariffs before the markets react. Suppose these tariffs are only 10% -- I think that 10% tariffs (assuming that it is only 10%) is more than enough to crash this House of Cards. Just imagine that 10% regressive Turd tariff tax superimposed on top of the upwards inflationary/stagflation spiral of the price of some widget or good at about 5% plus the state/local "sales taxes" (9.5% in California) -- that's likely enough price increases to topple a whole lot of businesses in small towns and cities all across the country. This isn't going to be pretty!
