the economy will collapse, or at minimum do a major shrinkage, BECAUSE of the tariffs.

Tariffs are a regressive tax, they suck the lifeblood out of the economy.

. . . but I think everyone is waiting - waiting for Trump to disappear off the scene, through death or being cut down by EpsteinGate, and things to right themselves magically.

Unfortunately magic won't do it, it will take a lot of effort on the part of many sane people to fix things.
