McGovern: The president promised lower prices and a booming economy and we are going to get higher prices and a recession. Trump isn't using tariffs strategically but launching an economic war and we are all in the blast zone. This is a disaster

Republican economic policy got us the great depression. Voters didn’t 4give them until repubs starting campaigning on yt grievance. As long as they that, aggressive gerrymandering, & a stacked federal judiciary & supreme court they won’t b as fucked as they should b.
When wokeness was ascendant, plenty of people in tech and finance quietly seethed at being guilt-tripped and forced to feign concern about social justice. “When the opportunity came to jettison all that, they were happy to do it. Trump enabled them to do it.” NYT
No offense. I'm glad he's speaking out but until some of the spineless cowards with an R next to their name start doing this, nothing we can't move the needle by ourselves.
I’ve always suspected that DT blackmailed people, senators & reps included, to get his way & based on the way he is using tariffs, it validates my suspicions. DT is a bully, but what he doing right now is more akin to being a mobster.
What can they do? I love it when people say this, like there's actually something they can do!
We the people give them POWER. We the people allowed this. We the people didn't work to get people to vote! We the people believed the GAZA genocide should cost Kamala votes! We the people OWN this.
Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t it the GOP that helped corporations & special interest organz. push manufacturing out of the US &into foreign countries 4cheaper labor, parts & a HUGE profit increase??
The world exists in a global market 4 production. The global economy can not function w/ chaos
He thinks that he can bully Europe into dropping emissions standards on vehicles and allowing hate speech on social media. The world standing up to him will hurt our economy. The world capitulating has dire consequences for democracy. He’s got us in a lose/lose situation.
Imagine your spouse wants to use your savings to invest in a company. You can’t see the business plan. Now imagine he’s had bankruptcies. Now imagine he wants to ruin your credit for this plan. Now imagine he’s made deals w/ scary people for loans in the past & he lies all the time. Just trust him?
47's tariffs have NOTHING to do with trade deficits.
They're a trump extortion racket. World leaders and CEOs come to trump on bended knee and get waivers in exchange for donations to his PAC or other Q.P.Q.
That's it. He's monetizing presidential power.
Same thing goes for issuing pardons.
This - from our Declaration of Independence is what they're counting on -
"...all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves..."

I envision tanks collapsing onto the subway below.

THIS was what happened the LAST time Trump got in.
Everything Trump touches turns to sh*t.

MAGA: JUST GIVE HIM TIME!
