Trump declares fertilizer emergency to dodge Morocco tariffs

So Trump just invoked emergency powers to bypass tariffs on Moroccan phosphate fertilizer. Not because there's actually a crisis, but because tariffs he promised would "bring back" American industry are already hitting farming inputs and driving up costs. The grift economy keeps rotating. Farm lobby gets relief through a loophole while the tariff theater continues. This is what happens when policy is just whatever keeps the chaos profitable.
