Dumb Donald is at it again.
President-elect Donald Trump announced Monday that he plans on signing an executive order on his first day back in the White House to impose tariffs on Mexico & Canada. He also used the screed on Truthless Social to continue the exaggerated narrative about "criminals" crossing the border from Mexico into the US, devoid, as usual, of evidence to back up his claims.
But what we're concerned with is the tariffs. Trump ran on the voter frustration over inflation when he won three weeks ago, but he doesn't realize that these tariffs won't hurt Mexico or Canada, not in the slightest bit. They hurt American consumers, instead, because this leads to further inflation.
Brian Tyler Cohen explains:
Trump is pandering to friends like Elon Musk, more than the base that elected him. If that doesn't make voters feel like they've been stabbed in the back, what does?
See, this is why I don't vote. These people pander to their rich friends and lobbyists, not the American people. When are we going to accept this and turn away from politics?
