American republicans are so fucking stupid they can't understand the soft power they're burning that basically already made them what they're lusting for.

Trumpy tariff "threats" are like threatening someone with a turd. Even if you manage to spatter your opponent, you still have a hand full of shit.

It's more like threatening someone that you'll shit your pants. Yeah they might get a strong waft of the shit stank, but you'll be the one with shit in your pants.
