What I Don’t Know Can’t Hurt Me (I’m not Speaking For You…)


I should not write about things I don’t understand, but here goes…

Trump’s Tariffs are a bluff. He knows what that will do to the economy and its impact on the American consumer, and more importantly, he knows what that will do to corporate profits when it comes to American exports. He needs business on his side, for his political support and for his own personal wealth. That means what he is saying about tariffs is probably just bluster intended to extort concessions from foreign suppliers.

His goal may be to dismantle the civil service infrastructure of the Federal Government, we’ll see how that goes. Looking at the long game, I don’t think he has any interest in destroying the American economy. Of course, what I don’t know could hurt me, and you.
