> trump is talking about a 10%, 20%, 50% flat tariff and now 100% on countries that move away from the dollar (all numbers he's floated himself btw) while the devastating smoothawley tariff act's durable rate peak was 59.1% with over 60% of imports not being taxed. if america was hurting bad under the hawley tariff imagine what'd happen with a trump tariff if he got his way entirely, lmao. it isn't the 1920s. everyone is far more wealthy today. a 90% cut to everyone's wealth still won't get you to as bad a time as the great depression.
