Given how poorly everything is going for the US thanks to these tariffs that certainly is a take. Brace yourself though, it's going to get worse!
replyAre you not loyal and patriotic if you see your government is bad for the people and you support opposition to it?
replyUS citizen here. Fight back against my government, please, even when the current admin is replaced with another more benign one.

replyI don't understand what you mean by this? Fight back against what? Protective tariffs?
Tariffs in and of themselves might make sense, but the process has been arbitrary and illegal. There needs to be some sort of a plan to these things, and there is no apparent plan here.
replyTrump doesn't have the legal authority nor the mandate to enact arbitrary tariffs. His previous attempt ended with the Supreme Court declaring his tariffs illegal. This was the President of the U.S. willfully breaking the law, and he's doing it again. The law is not meant to be stretched into whatever shape Trump wants.
replyAnd Trump has given no thought to his tariffs. There is no analysis underlying it. It's just him acting out like a child and trying to get some kind of "win" that he can sell as a personal triumph.
