The import tariffs have one very clear consequence. American ports are currently virtually empty.

Nobody wants to bring goods into the US now, because as an importer, you have no idea how high the import tariffs will be. Yesterday 10% can be 50% today and vice versa.

You can't do business like that.

This will break the American economy, because nobody can do business like this. Nobody wants to do business like this.

When will the Americans have had enough?

When will they say that the madness has to stop?

Impeachment proposals have already been made, and it is therefore already being discussed, but so far that has had no consequences. It is clear that there are still not nearly enough votes to push through the potential impeachment of Trump. He still has the Republicans firmly in his grip.

But in 80 years, a newly elected American president has not been this unpopular.

So there is a lot of discontent among the population, but the people's representatives of the Republican party are not yet abandoning their president.

The question is increasingly being asked: is there a bigger plan?

Yes, there is. Project 2025 is that plan. The population does not support it, but for the time being, Project 2025 is being implemented, unpopular or not.

That big plan is turning the US into a dictatorship where the Republicans advocate a right-wing radical Christian state. The setup is such that even in future elections, things will be arranged so that Democrats can never again gain a majority. That ranges from the suppression of women's suffrage to gerrymandering of electoral districts. Nothing is too crazy as long as the result is that the Republicans remain in power. Of an enormously impoverished state. Well, that too, because the consequence of Project 2025 is that the US will lose its role as the most important economy in the world. After all, a population that is no longer free and where the poorest no longer receive support is also less productive.

But well, everything for the lasting power of the Republicans. You can't have everything.
