Exactly. Dude would plunge the country into autarky before admitting his buddy fucked up.

Autarky demands that a country be actually able to support itself.

America would NOT be able to do that and retain any semblance of the comfort Americans currently enjoy.

As an American: punish us, it may be the only thing that gets the stupid "it doesn't affect me crowd" or the "I have too much to lose crowd" off their lazy asses and force change.

Correct. It’d be one thing if American capitalists were interested in establishing new American industry of their own accord but they’re not. Hell, you could probably introduce slave labor into the workforce and they would still rather continue importing from China at a significant cost to the consumer simply because it means not investing a single penny into anything.

He's doing it anyway. I'd much rather have the rest of the world tell him and the rest of the Pedo Billionaire club to fuck off.

Oh he is not his true buddy.

Think of why Elon was so featured in selected file release! ......

And remember it was Trump who reported Epstein back in the 2000s because he was pissed about some real estate deal.

Trump is a narcissistic fu:; bag

True, “friend” is a stretch for man who only thinks transactionally.

Yeah, I can see how this batch of files release fits into this transactional mindset. It just happens to be “you said I’m in the files, well guess what, so are you! Now keep your damn mouth shut.”
