THE DECK | 🃏 The Distraction Deck
Cash fights. Honeymoon vows. SEAL theater.
The noise is deafening. They flood the circus, bury the truth, and call it leadership.
🃏 The Honeymoon Tsunami
Tariffs were vows. Ports were the altar. The honeymoon is over — 22% fewer containers. Mexico and India said “I do.”
🃏 SEAL Team Theater
SEAL Team Six warming up another “practice kill.” A pageant of distraction. Bright lights, cardboard targets — all to keep your eyes off one thing:
THE FILES.🃏 Cash on the Docks
Cash Patel and Adam Schiff turn a Senate hearing into a cage fight. Jets, guns, and tabloid headlines (“PayPal Jet. Mel Gibson. Cage Fight. Gun.”) taped to the dock. A zoo — while the ships sail away.
🌊 The Tariff Tsunami
Trump’s blanket 10% tariff on all imports (plus 145% on China) was sold as protection for U.S. jobs.
Instead, it’s hitting consumers (electronics up +25%), driving inflation, and forcing companies like Amazon to restructure $13B in supply chain contracts in just two months.
Ports like Long Beach saw a 22% drop in container traffic in one year. That’s thousands of jobs — dock workers, truckers, warehouse staff — gone.
Metaphor seam: tariffs aren’t a “wall of protection.” They’re a tsunami wave, and U.S. workers are standing on the beach.
🇲🇽🌏 Shifting Supply Chains
Mexico: Amazon expanding hubs in Tijuana + Monterrey. Logistics up 35% in 2025.
India: Apple production + Amazon sourcing. Incentives + young workforce = momentum.
Vietnam: Exports up 18%. New hubs in electronics + apparel.
Punchline: The “America First” policy is literally building factories abroad.
🇷🇺 Russia’s Shadow Role
Sanctions + tariffs are pushing Russia toward China + India as energy buyers.
Trump’s counter — secondary tariffs — doesn’t cut off the flows. Instead: barter, yuan trades, SCO/BRICS channels.
Now Alaska + Greenland enter the conversation — because whoever controls Arctic routes + rare earths controls the next global trade map.
Narrative seam: Russia isn’t winning the trade war, but it’s being repositioned.
China gets cheaper Russian energy.
India gets supply security.
U.S. ports get hollowed out.

Closing Line
They show you the circus.
They sell you the honeymoon.
They stage the war games.
They promise walls.
But what we get are waves.
