The same people at the RNC who want Ukraine to surrender so that we avoid "WW3" would *gladly* take us to war with China over semi-conductor access or to war with Iran over Israel. They're selective "isolationists" at best.

And yea, mass deportations is going to be "stop and frisk" mixed with child separation policy mixed with camps mixed with a federal vs state law enforcement fight. It's going to be a massive humanitarian shit show, a massive moral failure, and it will also be economically inflationary.

Trump will get around to mass deportations after he finishes building the wall - i.e., never. He can't afford to get rid of all the illegal immigrants because that would rob him of his scapegoats and his main talking point.

Massive deportations and 10% across the board tariffs (60% on China) will make the short 9% inflation look like a picnic. Plus all the retaliation will lead to worldwide recession. Think about it. Have a happy Friday!
