Who voted for this lunatic?

Can someone explain what Trump voters like about this? I truly don't understand. Why would anyone want this?

Trump (and, honestly, probably Vance because it’s not like Donald is in good health) would be gangbusters for billionaires and corporations, but the rest of us would be buried in crap.

We already saw Donald crash the economy once due entirely to his own mistakes and the resulting pandemic. Before that we saw him cripple multiple industries with tariffs, and low information people think it would be better the second go round?

I will give the GOP this: they have been so effective at pushing their message, in spite of all facts and evidence to the contrary, that they've convinced a lot of people to vote for this dumpster fire.

I'm so depressed.

I never really thought it could get to this point. I never voted for this blob but I did have faith we could weather the storm to come

It's been less than 90 days and we are already here. I'm not sure anymore that there is the ability to get through the damage as there is in hoping for mercy in the new world order to come!!!

It really truly affects all of us, rich and poor.

Today is the first time I have seen our government do something to help US workers.

How sad is that.

And so many urban elites are losing their mind over expensive iPhones.

Increasing the cost of imports will decrease the amount of imports we buy, and will make locally produced products more competitive.

Maybe Democrats should have focused on policies that US voters want.

Like mandate e-verify, which Democrats refuse to do

Yep. And lots of Republican voters in the US will be out of jobs.

The reindustrialization of America was happening. Now it will be stopped and reversed as prices increased and small businesses are destroyed.

Collateral damage, I guess? Too bad for them, according to Trump?

They consulted Chat GPT how to calculate the tariffs!!!

We are being governed by morons.

Except the locally produced products will be priced the same as the imports, so there won't be any actual cost savings. This ALWAYS happens with tariffs.

Must we discuss this for the ZILLIONTH time? Trump does not (that’s NOT) care one iota about e-verify. The conservative rag the Washington Times found in ITS investigation:

“Just five of the 565 companies in President Trump’s business empire are signed up to use E-Verify, the government’s best tool to weed illegal immigrants out of the workforce, according to a Washington Times analysis that suggests the president could personally be doing more on that front.”

He quietly swept it under the rug because it does NOT make him richer.

Talk to me about Dems when your felon finally uses it.
