          Which you did by going on some weird false rant.

          Mexico is now saying they’ll help solve the problem. It’s the same reason Trump is talking about military strikes inside of Mexico. It’s to get Mexico to work on their problem or we will.

            the story is about his claim. and he claims things all the fucking time that arent true. but go on, keep pointing out how a racist liar is a-ok to his base. its more telling than why dems stayed home letting kamala lose by a few million votes.

              All politicians lie. It’s a fact of life.

              Calling Trump racist is false. It’s a lie.

              Calling Trump a convicted felon is just weird since if you understood the case, you’d know it’ll get kicked out in appeal since it’s all made up. Why the judge is considering dropping the charges.

              This is why Kamala lost. She exposed they tried to use the legal system to stop Trump and it was exposed for sham it was.

              It’s why every state when more red during this election. We saw the democrats go full fascism trying to stop Trump and America said no.

                  I am very aware. It’s why Kamala lost. People don’t want it. The Nazis based their ideology on the democrats. It’s well documented.

    If democrats were pro-workers and pro-American, they’d support the tariffs. That’s the goal of tariffs. To bring jobs back to America, raised wage and take money away from China.

    Yet, they whine it’ll raise prices if we deport illegal aliens. The Democrats just can’t break their slave labor addiction

      In 1930, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the… Anyone? Anyone?.. the Great Depression, passed the… Anyone? Anyone? The tariff bill? The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act? Which, anyone? Raised or lowered?.. raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression.

        We have tariffs. We gave had tariffs since the dawn of the nation. Are you ignorant enough to think we don’t have tariffs currently or think Trump was the first person to implement tariffs ?

            Then can make a coherent point instead of just quoting a movie.

            Based on your comment, I suspect you didn’t realize we’ve always had tariffs. You may be shocked to know Biden kept most of trump’s tariffs. They also were not tied to inflation.

            As with most complicated things, we won’t know the impact till after the fact.
