Not only are we losing our hard earned money but we have to spend more on gas. This is fucking ridiculous. I can't believe anyone, especially a "fiscally conservative" Republican trusted this fool with after all he said he was going to do with these tariffs.

Not only does it hurt us in the short term.. there's really little to no long term benefits for most Americans.

It's comical that people think tariffs will spark some type of increased domestic production when evidence points to the contrary. Tariffs DO NOT increase domestic production.

Yes and they don't think critically because domestic production requires a lot of imported materials. Look at something like house building and construction with timber prices.

There might be some, very little, businesses that thrive from it but on average it'll make things worse for domestic production. On top of that; it ruins our trade relations with our allies and American people have to pay more and we're already paying way too much for just about everything: except junk food.

Yes it's even harder when you're actively proposing policies that only make grocery prices higher.

Trump supporters used to listen to Reagan. Why won't they listen to him on this subject?

And listen I'm no Reagan supporter but what he is saying here is absolutely true.

It's also funny that DEI is severely misunderstood. DEI wasn't introduced to give under qualified minorites qualified white people's jobs. It was introduced so under qualified white people don't take qualified minority jobs.

true when it was founded and most of its history, gaming industry has been suffering though

Trump is trying to speedrun this country into a depression, I dont think he lasts 4 years
