  • I think in trumps mind, the US raises tariffs, which is a line item on the imported goods, he collects said line item. Imported goods end price stays the same (this is what he tried selling to the gullible) and other countries lose out.

    Reality is, he raises tariffs, which is a line item on the imported goods, and he collects said line item. Imported goods price goes up. The only loser here is the end user (american) consumer.

    Anyone paying attention knew “Reality” was the only outcome







  • I’m starting to think this just isn’t true. I believe that the average person is just not paying attention. Even the average immigrant family that might randomly have heard / seen trump ramble on about immigration problems.

    I think, just like the farmers that suffered with taraffs last time , these people are just on autopilot. They assume america is gonna keep on being “good” and do “the right thing” by them and just punish the deserving (whatever that means to them)

    They vote, and they vote party lines without a single thought put into the consequences. Without listening to what was said, or considering what it could mean.
