People keep saying we're heading towards Idiocracy, but President Camacho recognized there were things he didn't know, sought expert advice, and followed it. Somehow we're in a situation that is even more ridiculous than Idiocracy.
His has an ageing non-consumerism population that won't buy and no other country that can buy the $500 billion in exports to the USA that he is holding up in tariffs.
He's better off dropping all of his tariffs and play fair until he can build a economy that isn't 80% reliant on the one country he's trying to dick over.
I'd really like to see China do well I just don't need it to be at my children's expense.
At this point just being able to keep a cool head and make decisions based on input from experts might be all the advantage anyone needs.
But Trump doesn’t have it….

President Camacho was a genuinely good president. We should be so lucky.
I would love a president that was all "Shit I don't know, so i found some smart guy(s)."
