Trump's Speech To Congress: Tariffs are NOT about Border. "It's About Making America Rich"
(lemmy.ca)
I thought the reason for trashing trade agreements and taking a wrecking ball to the Canadian economy with extreme tariffs was because of fentanyl coming from Canada at the border?
Apparently not, says Trump, from his speech at Congress tonight: “... Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again”.
By his own words, he has just shown his big lie.
translation for the masses: it's about "making america's rich, richer". he don't give a fk about you or me or anyone else. just those very few at the top (and even then, he don't care about them, either, unless they're giving him a cut or are a pathway to power)
Oh man exactly. Why do people buy his bs and lies so hard?
Mass hysteria, also, there is a more boring reason. Most people aren't really paying attention. I was at the gun store yesterday talking to one of the clerks about one of the AKs behind the counter. Mentions "ammo used to be dirt cheap but you can't get it anymore" (steel case ammo used to come from Russia), I joke with him "well maybe not for much longer". He responds with "I doubt it, it comes from Russia". In my head I was like, yeah, that's what I mean. Have you not been paying attention to Trump?
Keep an eye out for that. As soon as you start getting that ammo you’ll know you’re under Russian rule.
No better way to bribe Americans than with cheap ammo I tell ya
