    Aren’t the tariffs meant to be in place to stimulate the internal economy? These orders are starting to look a lot like high treason.

      No, that’s a lie they tell you because 1. Trump is a fucking idiot, and 2. The truth gives him what wants which is to exploit America fir his own narcissism. It’s a wonder he doesn’t just call it Trumpland Inc.

        Yeah, markets are supposed to be free! Can’t be propping up uncompetitive businesses (unless they’re owned by cronies).

        Crony capitalism!
