    Are the tariffs and the market crash not Trump’s fault then? Who’s fault is it, since you know?

      I never implied I did… it’s not one person’s fault. Yes, the tariffs are negatively affecting the stock market. I believe things are going to rebound before too long. It was projected from the beginning there would be short-term financial struggles, and here we are, but it’s necessary to stop getting fleeced by these other countries.

        No it wasn’t. Trump’s whole campaign he touted how he was going to lower prices on Day One, end the war in Ukraine in 48 hours, stop the war in Gaza and blah blah blah. Only when he started fucking around with his on-again off-again tariffs and the undeniable resulting economic damage did they start throwing out the “there will be some temporary pain” messaging.

        And the whole story that we were being “fleeced” by other countries is bullshit. He’s so stupid. He went on and on about what a “stupid” trade agreement we had with Canada and Mexico but he was the one who negotiated that trade agreement, in his first term. But he apparently can’t remember because of his dementia.

        It’s really REALLY funny to see you criticizing people for what you described as “repeating near verbatim the talking points on the left” then go on to literally do the exact same thing with fascist talking points.
