Besides the headline rate numbers, The fact Vietnam was willing to open up their entire market with no trade barriers is a huge deal for US farmers . This is an amazing deal. You  are

Right, different countries have different situations, but if this is framework . HOLY 💩🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

In 2024, Vietnam imported about $13 billion dollars worth of goods to the United States. In the scope of the roughly $3.17 trillion worth of US exports, that represents .41% of US imports.  In other words, it's almost a rounding error.

In short, let him think he's won and just slow walk the thing until he finally does his one truly good deed for humanity- disappears. 

In the event that he did fall off his perch, would Vance pursue a significantly different course?  And it's by no means certain the Dems would win the next election.  Assuming of course there is one 

I think Vance would actually pull back somewhat on all the tariff threats...not 100%, but somehow make them a bit more palatible to Wall Street that hates them.   More importantly, Congress (the GOP half) has no fear of Vance like they do of Trump.  The chances that Congress finds the handful of Republican votes in both Houses to repeal the insane "emergency" and kill all the tariffs goes up astronomically.

Vance is a horrible person, and absolutely not the person I'd want to see as President, but he at least, he isn't the insane, possibly dementia-addled, sociopath like Trump.  
 

I still say Apple should announce plans with Foxconn to build a new iPhone assembly site here in the US.  Trump can jump up and down and how he beat Apple, and so on. 

Possible Timeline 1:
By January 2026, a site will be chosen.
By July 2027 design work would be complete.
By November 2028, structural work is complete.
On November 8, 2028, project is cancelled due to unforeseen issues.  Building is sold or converted for other uses. 

Possible Timeline 2:
By January 2026, a site will be chosen and design work begins.
January 4, 2027, project scrapped as the new Democratic majority in Congress scraps all of the tariffs. 

Possible Timeline 3:
By January 2026, a site will be chosen and design work begins.
On some random day, the Big Mac from Heaven hits the magic spot; or a random lightning bolt hits an orange target on a golf course... next day, project cancelled. 

In short, let him think he's won and just slow walk the thing until he finally does his one truly good deed for humanity- disappears. 

Truly one of the most childish things President Moron has done.  

Whenever this nation crawls out from the pile of miscreants, ignoramuses, grifters, and plain just stupid people currently attempting to run things (or just drive everything into the ground). this idiocy will dialed right back.  Of course, only American websites, and atlases will have to change.  The rest of the world hasn't lost its sanity...and it is still the Gulf of Mexico.
