    The amount of people who are horrified now that they’ve had tariffs explained to them is… depressingly high.

    They didn’t wanna look up what a tarrif was before voting for Mr. Tariffs?

      They just thought that was the magic word he was going to use to set gasoline prices back to what they were in 2016!

        I almost wish for gas prices to be as high as they are in other developed countries… That and the tariffs would be a huge wake up. Unfortunately it would be blamed on Biden even 3 years down the road… It’s a no win situation.
