All lies! Except maybe oil prices, because when the world economy crashes people don’t burn as much oil.

They think they are next in line to be the money hoarders lol.

I mean its one thing to be upset that people are buying Chinese goods, which is certainly a narrative. A dumb narrative, but one that is at least logically cohesive. Its different from the claim Trump makes repeatedly; that a trade deficit is losing money. He is saying we lost a trillion dollars, as if we threw it in the toilet, set it on fire, didnt use it for its purpose; to buy something. MAGAs will make up some other narrative about how China is bad and deserves tariffs yada yada but even they are not yet so mentally retarded that they will argue that yes, Trumps understanding of trade makes sense.
u/xander707

Yes, and Ive yet to see a single MAGA even attempt to defend this idiotic take Trump has on trade. Anyone with 2+ brain cells knows this doesnt make sense.

They know all of that. These people arent as dumb as they present themselves to be. Rather, they know 30% of this country are that dumb, and another 20+% cant be bothered to give a damn about any of it anyways.

In a monkey paw sort of way, sure.

The vast majority of the people who chose this will never admit it was a mistake. Theyd sooner die out of spite than admit it.

Hell definitely do everything in his power to protect the obscenely rich. Everyone else – good luck.

No it wont. The left hates Elon. Any dem that accepts money from Elon will get way more backlash than what its worth. And besides, Im highly skeptical that Elon would try to do it anyways – hes clearly not an ally of the left and isnt going to suddenly become one. Much more likely he will try to support anti-Trumpers on the right to usurp Trump.
