This is the one time he’s telling the truth because he did say he was going to tariff and do all these horrible things during the campaign. People just let their bigotry ignore everything he said because “he was going to hurt the right people.”
Correct, he lies about almost everything but he said he was going to do this, Harris and others explained what that would mean for prices and so on, and some people decided to ignore it apparently.
i meant more in the like he never stopped talking about high tariffs throughout the entire campaign kind of way and now people are acting surprised he was being serious
While many of us knew he was lying, Trump *campaigned on* bringing prices down on "day 1", denied that tariffs would raise costs to Americans, and pretended he didn't know what Project 2025 was.
