King Cotton was such a deluded economic concept that I'm surprised it hasn't displaced "eggs" as the thing people say in the phrase "don't put all your X in one basket."

In fact, Trump's pro-tariff policy is self-defeating in many ways similar to King Cotton: piss off everyone in the world simultaneously, belligerently assuming you're the only place in the world with a given commodity. Meanwhile, other nations will fill in the gap you left behind and leave you in the dust.

Republicans are the children who couldn't fit a square peg in a round hole, threw a temper tantrum, and broke the toy trying to shove that square peg in a round hole over and over.
