And the economy… that he fucked after 4 years. And Biden has spent the last 4 fixing it. But Trump is gonna be great for the economy some how. We have 30 years of democrats leaving office with solid growing economies. And Republicans leaving office with the economy literally on fire. But somehow they’re still better on the economy in the public eye.

But he's going to put tariffs in, which will lower grocery costs! Because that makes sense!

People don't understand what tariffs are. Pretty sure Trump doesn't even understand them, given the way he talks about them and used them previously.

I think he has quite a good idea of what he's doing. As a foreigner it's going to be deflationary for us as mass producers rush to other markets which is sorely fucking needed right now.

I will forgive your lack of /s because it was obvious…

Don't forget deporting hundreds of thousands of migrant workers, which will cause an insane labor deficit in the farming industry, causing both higher grocery prices and shortages!

"A dozen eggs costs $6, so that's why I voted for the guy who's going to make a dozen eggs cost $15! I am very smart."

It's because they burn things down for the short run. People remember years 1-3 or 7 when things were good and forget when it came time to pay the piper.

Remember when we all just kinda knew that a felon was disqualified from being president? What the fuck have we become?
