        Nope, they’ll still be $200. Suppliers would be idiots to lower prices, it’s free normalized margin now and insurance in case Trump puts the tariff back again.

          I agree with your assessment of what will happen with prices.

          I should clarify that I meant he forcibly extracted a value from his victims that’s at least an order of magnitude greater than anything he’s offered in return, making it a symbolic gesture at best, and too little, too late.

      Sad part is its effective. People will be so happy that you were there to take care of them, they will forget you were the one that hurt them in the first place.

      People who abuse others that way are actually evil.
