Maybe lets wait for those tariffs to be actually imposed first before losing our minds over it.
Or maybe people should be prepared for the worst because a violent felon was just elected to run the country?
I've found life to be slightly less stressfull when you stop worrying about this that you 1. can't do anything about and 2. likely wont even happen.
The world was supposed to end in 2016 when he got elected and I bought into that. It didn't. I'll be a bit more sceptical this time around.
We tried to do something. But people like you fucked it up

1 is bullshit.
We can organize. Get involved in our communities. Make sure we and our loved ones are as safe as possible if shit does hit the fan.
2 ignores the fact that this isn't 2016. The judiciary is stacked this time around. And the SC has already given Trump immunity for a lot of the bullshit he says he plans to do.
You can hope for the best. I do. But I'm also preparing for the worst.
I'm not counting on the democrats to save me. You're praying that things are okay when every indication out of Trump is the opposite.
Some times I'm not going to worry is just apathy in disguise. I think that's the case here.
As a small business owner I will likely have to completely shut down if/when tariffs are imposed, so yeah, this isn't about paying more for a video game for many of us.
I'm still waiting for the wall to be built with Mexican money. Just because Trump says he's going to do something doesn't mean he actually will. I don't care what liars say, I care what they do.
He did it before and he'll do it again. The last round of tariffs was backbreaking and this one will be worse.
I work for a small business and we're still doing okay but all those tariffs get passed directly to consumers. If it costs 7.5% more to import something, it will get sold for 7.5% more.
And that is the low end of tariffs.
You mean the wall that had multiple useless sections built with American taxpayers money and he absolutely would have continued with if not for the inherent logistics issues of physical reality and lack of competent enablers that aren't blockers this time around?
Also, the 2016 administrator WAS catastrophic. The hyper consolidation of corporate actors, deregulation and defanging of admin agencies that effectively removed all culpability from corporate actors, and bureaucratic damage that has made recovery a steeple uphill battle all happened not just under his watching but as an explicit intent of his watch.
It almost sounds like you’re trying to argue that he’s actually a man of his word. That guy wants a lot of things. Most of it he cannot get.
I think his intentions are very clear and he very often speaks them. Where Trump is utterly full of shit is where he describes reality, as in migrant crime waves, how tariffs actually work, Haitian pet eating, etc. And most of it he couldn't get before because there were process barriers in play. Much of that has been cleared both in the intervening years and as a direct result of the down ballot of this election.
So it's a foregone conclusion that resistance or even discussion is futile?
Fool of a president previously imposes tariffs and you expect him to not do it again? How dumb are you?
I could ask you the same thing for expecting me to answer to a question that ends like this. Now you just end on the blocklist with the rest of the incivil jerks.
Not sad about being on your block list. You seem like a stupid person.
That's you.
Sounds like a perfectly great idea /s
