My fellow Americans: you wanted this shit. Wallow in it, you fucking idiots.
Every single person who didn't vote wanted this because they were fine with it happening.
No, sorry, I do not respect anyone who allows a fascist to come into power through their inaction and ambivalence.
That's 31.6% of eligible voters 46% of eligible voters may not have actively wanted it, but they were okay enough with it to not bother voting against it.
We didn't 🥲
You guys will find new places to export to. Really the only big loser here will be the U.S.
Also, remember that he's imposing tariffs without offering alternatives. Good luck finding someone else to buy timber from, American businesses. You sure won't be able to get enough domestically.
Good luck surviving on "american made". This is gonna be funny as hell
No one wants American trucks, you can't export them to Asia, Africa or Europe. Americans barely want American trucks.
Now not even Canada or Mexico will buy American trucks. Canada and Mexico will double down on buying from Asia. There goes America's final market for its trucks.
While American factories try to rejig everything in the production line and supply chain, Asia car companies will step in to fill the void. Another blow to American manufacturing.
Hey guys: At least we didn't elect Genocide Joe, amirite? Those Democrats will sure learn their lesson from not voting for Bernie.
Fucking christ this country is fucked and the global economy ain't gonna do much better once the European tariffs get added to the mix.
