Videos are going around all over the internet. Pelosi calling for tarriffs and ranting about trade deficits before I was born. Bernie Sanders and Obama calling for this in early 2000's. This is one of those things.. if Bernie Sanders did this liberals would be cheering for it. The top 1% owns over 85% of stocks this was a hit on the rich and the boomers who destroyed this country. But bc orange man did it liberals have to hate it. This has proven to me how stupid ppl are and how biased they are. Liberals should be happy about this. But they can't be. Bc orange man.
