Mainstream republicans actually believed that the tariffs would be GOOD for the economy and for business.

To the point where they were surprised that the stock market reacted positively to the Court ruling against them.

Not that this will have them question their assumptions... but it should!

@volkris
Why is the stock market gospel?
What does it mean to say that "the market reacted positively" to something?

@light I'm kind of pointing out the opposite here.

These Trump supporters thought that the markets would crash without the Trump tariffs. That the markets didn't crash means there's something they got really wrong about how the world works. If they were reasonable they would sit back and reconsider their beliefs, but they won't.

Whether or not the market is gospel, these people made predictions that didn't come true which should be time for some self-reflection.
