Summary
Donald Trump pledged to impose a 25% tariff on all products from Mexico and Canada on his first day in office, blaming them for failing to stop illegal drugs and immigration.
He also vowed to add a 10% tariff on Chinese goods until drug trafficking into the U.S. ceases.
Economists warn these tariffs could drive up consumer prices and inflation.
While violent crime has declined in recent years, Trump continues to link trade measures to border security and drug issues, echoing his first-term trade policies and immigration stance.
Republicans will spend the next two years blaming the previous Democrat government for the problems that will happen … then spend the next two years telling everyone that if they vote for the democrats the problems will get worse.
Every republican administration in my lifetime has left office in a recession.
I would agree with this, going back to Reagan. I technically saw the last few months of the Carter administration when I was born. I’m just not totally sure if Reagan left Bush Sr. a crappy economy, or if Bush Sr. managed to completely torpedo the economy in 4 years, allowing Clinton to perform “an economic miracle.”
And the mainstream media will do nothing to contradict this misinformation.
They’re simple people, many will be easily convinced that the guy in charge during the shitty time is to blame. Yes, many others will be fooled by their TV’s… But I think a good deal will take things at face value.
