His base is less able to afford the price increases of his reckless trade wars...his MAGA suckers are gluttons for punishment.
"Thank you, Donald, may I have another"

Poorer voters flocked to Trump — and other data points from the election

I learned that most people arent actually sentient.

Its just feelings and emotions doing all the work.

"Oh, this decision feels nice."

Fox doesn't deal in news, they sell outrage.

Thats how Trump controls stupid people.

Maybe Americans like being abused and violated. That explains their choices for presidents.

No shit, anger and a feeling of impending doom is the appropriate response when you are watching your country descend into fascism.

Trump literally created an alternative reality in the heads of his supporters where they think Trump is a good Christian and a very innocent man.

You really dont know what to admire more, the amount of Trump's sins or the inability of his supporters to even see them.

It's a way better economic policy to export. All manufacturing to foreign countries. Sure it will mean nobody has jobs in America, but at least China has cheap prices.

The president should be a cuck and have America, just bend over for everyone.

If Americans wanted American goods, they would buy American goods.

You are literally voting in a president because he will prevent you from buying foreign goods. Wouldnt it be more simple to... I dont know.... just buy American goods?

Unemployment reached record lows offer the last 4 years

but at least China has cheap prices.

Cheap prices is how those people with and without jobs are able to afford things. That's also literally why Americans voted for Trump, because he was supposedly going to lower them. Yet he's doing the exact opposite. Will be interesting to see what alternative reality MAGA creates to resolve that cognitive dissonance.

Trump caved and suspended tariffs for both Mexico and Canada after reading how they would retaliate.

Canada said they'd Crack down on drug flow so he relented. They were already doing that so not much changed. Total drugs from Canada r a fraction of 1 percent so it don't change much. Canadians tried to negotiate before the tariffs but trump wouldn't. It makes us out to be an unreliable to our biggest allie. Considering not much changed and trump was under huge pressure politically to back off, yes, trump caved.
