Even TCF is telling the MAGAts crying "I didn't vote for this!" that they did in fact vote for it.

At least in regards to the tariffs and their effects: "Well, they did sign up for it, actually. And this is what I campaigned on"

Remember that quote. If you have to endure MAGAts' whinings, use it often in response. Never let them forget that they did this to themselves (as well as everyone else, but they don't care about that part).

known to have referenced how back in the early 20th century tariffs were looked at by some as the answer to free the nation from having to pay income taxes. The tariff money FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES PAID TO THE US would be the answer to that.

I think the moron still believes that.

I believe that he thinks all the Tariffs will go directly into his personal off shore bank accounts......or maybe he has corruptly designed some way for them to do so that we don't know about.....

as he still believes foreign companies, not American importers pay tariffs that they get back by passing on to us consumers by increasing prices of their goods

The moron is delusional about all of that and doesn't understand. After all, he went bankrupt several times running casinos...an industry that practically has a license to just about print money.

Ok, sure he 'lied' to you. The caveat is that he only did that because he knew you were so dumb as to not believe the truth. That ain't on him.

obviously don't work better than an overheated iguana's brain! They bought that crap about other countries paying the tariffs without even bothering to fact check it. Sucks to be them.

Unfortunately, it also sucks to be all of us Americans right now! Because THEY voted for him, prices are going up for everyone, unless he does a sudden about face and calls the whole thing off. And even if he were to get rid of the tariffs, things will still keep sucking for an awful lot of people in very many ways, as long as he's in office.

... he didn't specify that his goal was to wipe out all gains made in the 20th century. But that is clearly what he's doing with the full support of all Republicans in DC.

but I live in a blue state and even though I live in an old folks' independent living facility, I've had trouble finding MAGAts in the wild. I'm sure some are here, but they're keeping a low profile. Most people here are hopping mad and not hiding it.

However, should it happen, my best response will be, "Yes, you did. Everything he's doing was in his stump speeches for a full two years before the election. You are getting exactly what you voted for." I leave it at that. Being too lazy to pay attention is no longer a valid excuse for anyone out there.
