If I were a Democrat in Congress, I’d tell people that one reason I’m not going to the speech tonight is because I can’t trust that Trump won’t have me arrested or killed.

A tariff is a TAX.

The company pays it — then passes along the cost as a price increase to YOU.

So Donald Trump is raising YOUR taxes 25%.

Tariffs UP.
Groceries UP.
Exports DOWN.
Stock market DOWN.
Consumer confidence DOWN.
Chance of a recession UP UP UP.

After Trump left, it took Biden 4 years to rebuild the US economy.

It’s taken Trump just 6 weeks to destroy it again.

💯RW elites = frauds. They live in our neighborhoods, go to our shows, eat at our restaurants. Bc the sum total of their cultural output = burping contests after eating meat-on-a-stick

Be non-violent! But, deny them verbal safe spaces in the civilization WE created. Think Mike Pence at "Hamilton"
Ostracize them. Not being able to get even a dinner reservation. Their mega yachts denied dock at their favorite vacation paradise. Photographers NOT interested in them. No fame. Just disgust.

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

So tariffs take effect tomorrow. Farmers will depend on Americans to support them. Will Americans be out in the fields doing farm labor?
How will farmers afford to stay afloat? Let's ask our Farmers their thoughts on this new tariffs deal.

We had Russia on the ropes.

They were crippled by sanctions.

They had made minimal headway into Ukraine.

Putin had to survive a military uprising within his own ranks.

He was down to pleading for conscripts from North Korea.

Then he played his ace in the hole.

Donald Motherfucking Trump.
