9. No matter what Trump does with his tariffs now, the tone is set.

There is no guarantee that the countries he outrageously tariffed will respond in like manner when Trump lowers the tariffs. By then, angry countries will have made all kinds of deals with each other to ban together to protect themselves from US aggressive economic moves. We don't make a damn thing except guns and other weapons and some planes that are fucked up. Our farmers, except for black family farmers, are subsidized to nth degree and most of what we grow and export is bad for your health...soy.

And now our cyber security is at risk because the best people have been fired on the advice of vampire-witchy-looking nitwit. I guess this is part of the plan to allow Putin to interfere in our coming elections?

All in all, we are screwed. I believe our last hope was gone when so many refused to vote for Kamala. Maybe one of those tornados will pick up Mar a lago while that 1M dollar dinner is going on?
