Tariffs start today (and yes, they are *bilateral*)

…and Mexico (though they win’t announce specifics for a couple days), per the AP:

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday that Mexico will respond to 25% tariffs imposed by the United States with its own retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods.

Sheinbaum said she will announce the products Mexico will target on Sunday in a public event in Mexico City’s central plaza, perhaps indicating Mexico still hopes to de-escalate the trade war set off by U.S. President Donald Trump.

…Sheinbaum said Tuesday…“There is no motive or reason, nor justification that supports this decision that will affect our people and our nations,” she said.

…“It’s inconceivable that they don’t think about the damage this is going to cause to United States citizens and businesses with the increase in prices for things produced in our country,” Sheinbaum said. “Also the damage it will cause by stopping job creation in both countries. No one wins with this decision.”

If there is a recession, Trump is going to own it in the eyes of everyone except his most hopelessly deluded followers, no matter how much he will thrash about and try to shift the blame.

so, you're saying about 45% of those who bother to vote will blame Biden.
