Anybody who has followed him much at all, knew tariffs were coming. He did 20% on China the last time.
As for the extent of the tariffs? No, I don't think most folks saw that one coming.
Go read LuFin's analysis in the Trumpenomics thread...I think he's pretty close to the truth.

Ezra and Vivek discussed this, must have been before the universal tariffs dropped.

By any means, I am not a President Trump fan or DOGE fan, but why didnt the guy take FMLA for example? It is not unusual for a company to offer buy outs to some people (or departments) but not others.
