California overtakes Japan to become world’s fourth-largest economy. But tariffs pose threat​

If California were its own country, its economy would now rank as the fourth-largest of any nation across the globe, Gov. Gavin Newsom said, a new milestone that comes at a time of major economic turbulence.

California has long been a global powerhouse, fueled by a variety of sectors including technology, agriculture, tourism and entertainment. The new ranking comes as the state is facing challenges from a trade war with China and other nations that are key California trading partners.

Trump will fix that by further devaluing the dollar and tariffs on the supply chain. He seems determined to bankrupt the US just like his other businesses.

If your supposition was true, why is California's the largest state economy and not Texas or Florida?

False assumption on your part. California's economy is so large because of location more than anything. If California were on the East Coast, it would stretch from N. Carolina to Maine.

Now, compare California's economy to the combined totals of the states from N. Carolina to Maine and see how it does.

Oh fabulous. Here come the libtards ready to pin California's flaming dumpster fire of a state on Trump's tariffs. Their predictably catastrophic policies like sky-high taxes and sanctuary city chaos and regulations thicker than Gavin Newsom's hair gel have turned the Golden State into a dystopian yard sale.

But sure. Let's blame tariffs. Even if Trump brokered the greatest trade deals in history signed sealed and delivered by Monday the left would still wail TARIFFS through their kale-smoothie-stained teeth. Newsflash Dems. Your tired playbook of blame deflect repeat is as fresh as a 90s boy band reunion.

Most people aren't buying your sanctimonious drivel anymore. They're hip to your party's elitist poor-robbing America-last bullshit. Keep crying wolf geniuses. Maybe one day you'll fool someone besides your own reflection.
