Trump doesn't really think about these things. He gets an "inspiration" and then sick pride makes him stick to that brain fart despite everything. He's as soon shoot himself as admit a mistake.

Thanks Republican voters for drilling an unfixable hole in our economic boat and a special thanks to the 2024 Democrats for losing their incumbency and mandate. AIPAC and Israel's "defense" was more important for the 2024 Democrats than the American people. Those 6,265,888 antiwar and progressive voters the Democrats lost in 2024 will not vote for an AIPAC-funded candidate in future national elections.

Don't believe me?

Ask the Central Mennonite Committee, the Society of Friends (Quakers), Code Pink, Iraq Veterans for Peace, the War Resister's League, Jews Against Genocide, the Jesuits, or supporters of Zohran Mamdani.

And now we must all suffer with this calamity:

Why are any of these companies even following along and doing this?

These aren't legal requirements as Trump lacks the power to unilaterally impose tariffs.

Sorry, but knowing what was at stake and still being a self-righteous ---- leaves plenty of blame for those idiots.

Politics really is a horseshoe. Bottom basement IQ at the extremes that rises steadily as you move towards the center from each side.

That's why NO COMPANIES ARE RUSHING TO OPEN FACILITIES HERE.

My clients started looking at the process of building facilities here, but have all pulled back because of his insane policies of on again/off again tariffs and ever changing rates. Too much chaos to spend millions here.

Throw in ICE agents arresting 475 South Koreans that were here TRAINING US WORKERS HOW TO BUILD HYUNDAI EV'S and it is clear that this administration is just trying to create chaos.

The goal is to destroy the US from inside.

It's what Putin, Xi and Lil Rocket man want and their puppet Cankles is all to willing to do it in exchange for keeping the videos of him raping children hidden.
