      You’re making the mistake in that his intention is to improve things.

      He doesn’t have to make things better, he just has to say he has made them better. That’s all he’s ever done and it’s worked.

      How do you STILL think this isn’t all intentional? They know what they’re doing. They don’t care if we can afford it or not. This is about the conservatives’ bottom line, lol. They don’t care about you, America, China or whether any of it works.

        It doesn’t do anything for their bottom life because the tariff is something we pay TO CHINA

          The tariffs got them elected. The fallout of them is a write-off and not their problem. They were the means to an end for votes and swaying opinions and they did their job.

      I believe that he does, and he knows shit will cost more, but he ALSO knows that his followers have no clue whatsoever. So prices will increase, and he’ll blame it on one of their many “others”. Keeping them scared and mad is the key to their control over them

      Some people want more expensive shit as long as its made in america or with american goods. Thats the point of a tariff.
