Donald Trump has said that Americans may feel economic “pain” from his tariffs on key trading partners.
“Will there be some pain? Yes, maybe (and maybe not!)” Trump wrote on Sunday in all capital letters on his Truth social media platform, a day after signing off on tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China.
“But we will Make America Great Again, and it will all be worth the price that must be paid,” he added.
Honestly, I feel like at this point he can be completely honest that he’s beholden to his fellow oligarchs, he just has to follow it up with “the democrats did the same thing, this is how we get even”. And his followers will defend him, and his opponents won’t have anything to call him out on, and we all lose.
