At first, this might hurt a little.
Then a lot.
“Trade wars are good, and easy to win.”

When do we get those cheaper eggs?
More of a “where” than a “when”, but:
Ironically, Greenland has cheaper eggs ($3.93 a dozen) in spite of being so far from anywhere that produces them on an industrial scale that they have to have them flown in at great expense.
And before you get any Trumpian ideas: becoming a part of the US would without a doubt result in higher prices in Greenland as under-regulated US companies take hold.
So what I’m saying is that you should embark on an exciting new career smuggling eggs from Greenland to the US!
But mah eggs…
Donvict is going to set things up so that the price of eggs will be the least of the worries when it comes to costs.
Problem solved!

Uh huh. So given Canada, Mexico, China, counting the EU as a single unit, that’d be a concurrent trade war with all four top US trade partners and – “maybe” – the UK.
The rationale for the EU and UK should be interesting, because I don’t think that fentanyl’s gonna work.

“We don’t negotiate with communists” will be my guess.
