"...be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward." (Matthew 6:16 KJV)

And that's all this is - A pocket full of promises. Just like the job promises he claims, bringing industry back to the US. Most of those promises will take years to begin to be kept, and likely won't be kept. But he struts it around like a done deal, waiving it around like a trophy. These tariffs are the same damn thing.

The Mullahs will not fall on their own.  They'll need to be outside forces increasing economic pressure upon the regime - lower oil prices, counterfeit Iranian currency, unreliable electric grid, and other 'problems'.

Fiscal restraint is only an obstructionist tool used in Congress when the other party has the White House.

True fiscal conservatism will be imposed by the bond markets when governments and institutions don't show up at Treasury auctions to buy new bond issuance.  This will cause real market dollar-denominated interest rates to increase beyond the Fed's ability to manipulate it.

So long as there is sufficient demand for US Government debt interests, the US Government will keep going into further debt.

Watch the price of precious metals.  They are alternative stores of wealth to US Government debt instruments.  Since there are no alternative exchange currencies to the US Dollar, those seeking to divest or diversify away from the US Dollar will buy non-dollar denominated instruments (metals, land, bitcoin, alternative currencies) as stores of wealth instead of US Treasury Bonds.

Those countries upon whom we apply tariffs will be less likely to direct future surplus trade dollars towards future purchases of US Treasuries.

As long as the feed trough is full, the hogs will keep feeding.
