Summary
Trump’s economic policies, particularly his tariffs, are proving disastrous after being “sanewashed” by media during the campaign.
After making tariffs central to his campaign, he twice imposed them—only to backtrack amid market turmoil. Despite clear evidence that tariffs are taxes that raise prices, his allies continue pushing economic falsehoods.
Meanwhile, Trump’s pledge to balance the budget contradicts his record, as he added $2.1 trillion to the deficit, while Democratic presidents have historically reduced it.
His proposed $7 trillion tax cuts, paired with $4.5 trillion in spending cuts, would create massive deficits and harm working-class Americans.
I’m not sure what he’s done to get the benefit of the doubt on intelligence. He literally asked if it was possible to cure COVID by injecting bleach or shoving a UV light up your ass. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52407177
His own staff members have called him a “moron.” And he’s bankrupted 6 companies. If there’s evidence he’s smart, I haven’t seen it.
I didn’t say he was smart - I said he’s even more a lying sack of shit than he is an idiot.
