That’s two separate thoughts tho, trump and his supporters can’t keep two thoughts in their head at once.
If they pre-bpught to avoid tariffs (unlikely due to little warning) then that’s been propping up this quarter. So it would have been worse and will make the transition even worse.
There’s no way out of this, and no rational people to save anything. Shits going to be really bad, the silver lining is it’s going to get unignorably bad so historically that leads to a FDR type government that actually fixes shit
