“The Dumbest Trade War in History”

That’s what the Wall Street Journal editorial board says about President Trump’s temper tantrum tariffs.

More from the WSJ: Trump Owns The Economy Now.

“Let’s concede that intelligence isn’t everything,” writes Mona Charen for The Bulwark. “We all know brilliant people who’ve done dumb things.

“So it’s important not to overrate intelligence, even in leaders. But President Trump is no ordinary man. His stubborn strain of stupidity belongs on a list of deadly sins. And that weak-mindedness is now plunging the world into chaos and potentially into depression.

“Trump’s peculiar blind spots and obsessions now threaten everyone.”

Dammit. Looks like Trump’s baby balloon tariffs diaper has exploded into a global stock market Hindenburg disaster.

We can go on and on about Trump’s lack of empathy for real people or his vulgar disrespect to our allies while openly courting his tyrant heart-throb V-Bro Putin: “No tariffs for you, my dictator blood brother buddy!”

But what’s the word on the street about these trade war tariffs?

Word on the Antarctic Islands are the penguins are P-O’d. Somebody should draw a cartoon about that.

Now let’s hear Stephen Colbert’s report on Trump’s Wall Street bloodbath:

“Today was the first day of trading on Wall Street since Trump slathered our economy in honey and staked it down next to a fire ant hill, and the Dow Jones nosedived 1700 points, joining the S&P and NASDAQ in having their biggest drop since 2020,” the late-night host added. “So, worst day for our economy since COVID.”

“Just a little reminder, this time, he’s the disease,” Colbert quipped before referencing Trump’s reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic, saying, “I’m just spitballing here. Has anyone thought about injecting our money with bleach?”
