    Boo fucking hoo. Like these tariffs aren’t gong to affect us either. I hope this’ll be a wake up call for americans who voted for him. I’m thinking about all those farmers in the mid-west and popular vacation destinations down south like Florida.

      So far it looks like those tariffs are used to making killing on the stock market. Trump announce them, stock falls, he and his friends purchases them at the low and then postpones tariffs. And repeat.

      At the same time they are making money trump is still ruining alliances like putin wanted.

        This may not be your individual fault, but it’s your country’s fault, as a population.

        But YOU actually have the power to do something about it. YOU have the power to change this.

        WE CAN’T go to your state governors and yell at them. WE CAN’T go to your state representatives and yell at them. WE CAN’T go to your congresspeople and yell at them. BECAUSE WE’RE NOT AMERICAN. They won’t listen to us because THEY DON’T WORK FOR US, THEY WORK FOR YOU.

        If enough of you give them enough hell, they’ll eventually back down and stop supporting this bullshit.

        So it’s your responsibility to organize, protest, and give these fuckers hell and scare them into getting Trump and Vance the fuck out of the White House.

        All of us around the world need solidarity in opposition to aristocracy and fascism.

        However, being a citizen gives you responsibility for your government no matter how you vote, this is basic civics.

        Your country settles for ridiculously bad politicians on both sides. It’s media fails to rigorously hold any of them to account. If the left media isn’t handing softballs to Harris it’s hurling insults at the other side and vice versa. You lap it up. You buy the products advertised. You donate to the parties. You vote for these morons because they aren’t those other morons. You are part of the problem too. You as a nation settled.
