    One really frustrating part of all of this is they said we couldn’t raise minimum wage because “it’d increase prices.” Meanwhile, it’s perfectly fine to do this, because prices rising is actually fine now.

    The base doesn’t understand what tarrifs are but they 100% know that the orange turd is fighting for them.

    This is what happens when education takes a back seat and propaganda, identity politics, war profiteering, and geopolitical coercing takes hold to be the “greatest country of all time”.

    And they start to believe everything that matches their bias.

    Step 1: Create disaster (put tariffs on your allies)

    Step 2: Rabble, rabble, rabble while you dismantle the rest of the government and put people in concentrations camps.

    Step 3: Tell everyone you solved the disaster by making it a tiny bit less of a disaster.

    Step 4: Celebrate?

      I, for one, am ready to watch my fellow countrymen fall all over themselves to find a way to elect him a 3rd time while hating everything about their lives directly because of his policies. Can’t wait!

        The media will just blame it on obama or something. The “The Deep State” has always been a campaign to explain why republican statements don’t match their policy results to gullible people.

        Yeah there’s no good reason to restrict trade with the eu. They’re the most similar economy to us and we’ve found a reasonable balance. When we compete it’s often beneficial to both economies and where we don’t it’s in deeply intertwined ways. The sophisticated machinery you buy from the Netherlands may use parts from Chicago and be the best tool for making products in either Czechia or Alabama.

        Honestly Europe had more cause to tariff us over our lax regulations on labor, environmentalism, and consumer protection resulting in an unfair advantage.

    I consider them both clowns. Who the fuck uses twitter anymore?

    Clown 1 was correct, but still, arguing on the shit pile is still just standing on the shit pile.

      In Denmark, Facebook is still by far number 1… We might be cool politically, but very out of touch when it comes to keeping up with the internet.
