Looks like the cope has shifted to "we were going to go into a recession anyway".
Well.....they had been predicting it for the last two or three years of Biden's administration, so here it is! Figures that Sleepy Joe's Recession would show up months late - that's just like him.

...yep.

Trump's ability to create his own false reality in the minds of millions is astonishing.
It's not really a "false reality".

It's an identifying trait in Narcisistic Personality Disorder; it's a coping strategy.

What's astonishing is that people believe him instead of using basic reasoning.

I remember when I found out the documentary I watched in school was staged like the moon landing.

I was going to use "sheep" but the Republicans copyrighted it and I don't want to give them more money.

...that doll you wanted for Christmas this year? Sorry honey, you need to be patient....

Go back to American made corn cobra dolls. They were good enough for Laura Ingalls.

Unless we bankrupted the corn farmers.

There will also be some sort of lag. Chinese products at the port of Long Beach or Los Angeles then have to get by truck or rail to Topeka, and then by smaller trucks to individual brick and mortar stores. Some of that stuff is still on the road, but the flow got switched off at the port. And now the ships aren't even leaving China, or are leaving with less. If and when it gets switched back on, the flow won't be felt until the next ship to leave Shanghai gets its contents to Topeka.

‘The truckers are scrambling’: Trump’s tariffs about to hit drivers, L.A. port workers hard

Thousands of dockworkers, heavy equipment operators and truck drivers support a flurry of activity at the Port of Los Angeles, which covers 7,500 acres on San Pedro Bay and processed more than 10 million 20-foot-long cargo units in 2024. The neighboring Port of Long Beach moved 9.6 million 20-foot equivalent units, or TEUs, last year.

A 2023 report found that the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach contributed $21.8 billion in direct revenue to local service providers, generating $2.7 billion in state and local taxes and creating 165,462 jobs, directly and indirectly.

A decline of just 1% in cargo to the ports would wipe away 2,769 jobs and endanger as many as 4,000 others, the study found.

Last week, Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka said arrivals could drop by 35% over the next 14 days.

According to Herrera and port officials, there will be more than 30 “blank sailings” in May at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, which occur when cargo ships cancel planned trips. That will mean 400,000 fewer containers will be shipped through the ports, officials said.
