Tuesday's Titillating Absurdities: The Trade War That Wasn't
Welp, that didn’t last long. After the corrupt media got a massive case of the collective vapors and threw its very predictable hissy fit over the tariffs Trump announced on Saturday, this was the trade war that wasn’t.
After all the angst about consumers having to bear a 50-cent increase in the price of Canadian Club whiskey and Chuck Schumer holding tone deaf press conferences bemoaning the rising cost of “guac,” the countries targeted by Trump - Mexico, Canada, and China - collapsed like the French defending the Maginot Line. It was all over so quickly that Rachel Maddow didn’t even get her chance to spin a weird conspiracy theory about it all on her Monday night show.
