Politics and sports walk hand in hand (same for religion).
However, history is “immediate”, i.e.: if there’s backlash over racist tweets (even from African Americans), the chaos from joining an athletic version of “Prussian Blue” is going to be deafening.
I’m not sure Donnie’d see that as a negative.
There’s absolutely no evidence that balancing out the need to retain sales played any role in setting his tariffs.

After a routine Supreme Court argument on Wednesday, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. asked the lawyer who had represented the government to return to the lectern.
“You have just presented your 160th argument before this court, and I understand it is intended to be your last,” the chief justice told the lawyer, Edwin S. Kneedler, who is retiring as a deputy solicitor general. “That is the record for modern times.”
Chief Justice Roberts talked a little more, with affection and high praise, thanking Mr. Kneedler for his “extraordinary care and professionalism.”
The entire court room burst into applause, which then turned into a standing ovation. All nine justices joined in.
Saw an article yesterday about TSF and his spawn starting a new club called The Executive Branch that charges $500,000 to join and promises regular access to TSF and his Cabinet members. Corruption in plain sight.
