Trump and his fig leaf of tariff
To trump, MAGA dreams depend on tariff,
The math adds up or not, nor yet what if,
A tree’s just tree to him,
Minutiae, mental gym
To him, more than enough just a fig leaf.

Note: It’s just beyond Trump to understand that if high tariffs make it tough for the exporters, it also makes it so for the importers and the domestic consumers to whom they add to costs and inflation which is already on the rise. Yet, his focus is on the added revenue, not on the truth that this revenue would not enable domestic production and employment, American costs being too high.
