It doesn’t matter that the tariffs are illegal; that was always clear. What matters is that international trust in the US as a viable trading partner has been irreversibly destroyed, as Putin wished. Now comes the rush of importers to the exits, as US consumers wonder why shelves are empty.

RFK, Jr is a shameless eugenicist who wants the unfit to be culled by infectious disease. But he himself is a counter example to eugenics; he shows that good parents can breed bad sons, and that the supposedly best highest falutin families are up to spawn degenerate monsters.
