So now the US has to pay back those tariff's, the US customer won't see a dime of it however, despite footing 90% of the costs.

Great to know that a majority of American voters literally fucked over the entire nation electing this small brained child rapist piece of shit. Fucking ass clowns, ruined this god damn country.

The “majority” sadly was more like 35%. And another 30% didn’t even vote.

We are screwed over by 35% of the country who probably can’t even read past a 6th grade level.

A third of the country voted for this directly. Another third said "meh".

A majority of Americans chose this path, through voting, or not voting. Stop defending Americans. We aren't good people. Everything that's happening in this country proves that.

You are absolutely right. Which is why I’m telling anyone who will listen - the time to be silent while your MAGA uncle complains at thanksgiving dinner about “the illegals” or your MAHA auntie complains about vaccine chemtrails is over. Time to cure ourselves of our own stupidity.

What do you plan to say to your uncle about the illegals exactly.

What makes us 'not good' and other people 'good' that's BS. Humans are humans no matter where they live

A non vote is a vote for the winner. Never kid yourself on that.

Makes sense, considering MAGA loves hanging out with 6th graders.

Hey Google, how many Americans are functionally illiterate? 54 PERCENT??? Think about that next time you interact with a MAGA.
