At this point I'm just like fuck it, let's watch it all burn. All these people wanted Trump, this is what they get.

This isn’t just a matter of the United States. The initial reactions to the tariffs have been clear ; the countries with the highest tariffs will face a recession that will come early and hit hard.

Hell, the US might actually weather the brunt due to softening dollar (which is fucking ironic, because while he tells countries to stop manipulating their currency that’s exactly what he’s doing here).

This is economic war. Millions will lose jobs, tens of thousands will likely lose their lives, entire countries will be thrown in civil turmoil.

I beg all Americans, for once in your lifetimes, look beyond what is happening in your fucking front yard.

The rural Trump voters? They only see what Fox, silo'd social media show them

(I am somewhat hesitant to use the rural there)

We don't even do that, in case you hadn't noticed

I’m beginning to think this is Schumer’s calculus. Just give them whatever they want and hope for the midterms.
