    50 years of manufacturing job loss can’t be fixed in one presidential term. Nicocado didn’t lose all that weight in one week. Change can be hard and painful. But not changing would be giving up on the next generation. He might be rude, he might be orange, but by god he is addressing the elephant in the room everyone else is ignoring.

        How is Trump personally benefiting from tariffs? Like I know congress does insider trading all day but I don’t see anyone importing golf courses.

      He’s an authoritarian nut job that is destroying this country and ignoring the Constitution. He’s emboldened the racists to be more open and violent. Unless you are a billionaire, he will eventually get around to destroying everything you hold dear as well. Don’t think you are special.

        I think tariffs ARE a solution to manufacturing being exported. Your hatred for Trump is clouding your opinion of the economics of jobs. And I imagine a lot of billionaires are less than happy with the revenue loss they are about to have with trade being down. I really doubt Trump is coming for ‘everything I hold dear’. I think this country was already broken well before he was in office, so you really can’t blame him for that. Whether you think DEI policies are racist is subjective- making race part of any decision making process for jobs or education is racist in my opinion. Nobody is special. I don’t think he has ‘emboldened the racists’. If your local police force isn’t addressing violence why don’t you blame them?
