If Trump fully adopts his deportation proposals, inflation would soar and labor-intensive industries such as agriculture and construction would struggle to find workers.

Slave labor by interning your political enemies and undesirables is a key component to fascistic government policies. Nazi Germany had a positive GDP after the Depression because they had a massive slave labor force that you didn’t need to maintain, as the goal is to kill them with work.
and then he will empty the for profit prisons 12 hours a day, pay the prison companies $15-20 an hour and the prisoners nothing to almost nothing. Then they will increase arrests focusing on the unhomed and political rivals to fill the for profit prisons with more workers and continue
So far, the constitution has failed us, the elected officials, un-elected ones, along with the legal ones gave him the powers of a king and free of consequences for a felon rapist president...
You know what? Let it happen and let the big commercial farms and most likely Republican eat crow for electing the buffoon. Yes we’ll all suffer but so will the pockets of those corporations.
And that being smart is not a prerequisite for becoming rich. It’s usually luck and a lack of ethics. (Yes I am sure there are exceptions. But anyone voting for trump is not one of those exceptions.)
Now way, really? The Orange Goblin said white folks would step in and pick fruits and vegetables at right price. Guess we can all afford a $65 house salad.
It will happen too. Good news is all the MAGA will have plenty of options for a 'second job' to help pay for the tax cuts he wants for himself and his rich buddies.
The least informed people you know thought Trump would save the economy but were blinded by hate and didn’t consider how kicking out some of America’s hardest workers would have adverse effects
He always pulls his punches because his theatrics are just that. He talks a lot of crazy and then he folds. Unfortunately he has more help this time but I don’t know how much they will be able to break before reality knocks them on their asses.
He's had billionaires around him for the last 18 months to consult.
Here's the strategy: If other nations don't negotiated with him, yes, prices will spike, but, while that's happening, he's going to cut SS and Medicare, so the elderly are forced back into the workforce - influx of cheap labor
That's because their voter base is a mixed bag of lunacy -
- Alt right political nuts
- (majority) MAGA cult followers
- Neo Nazis
- Homophobes and sexists cosplaying as alpha males
- Middle leaning politically, yet financially driven tech
And yeah, the venn diagram has many crossing points here
Elderly often can’t go to work. They’ll die. Like the ultra rich hope. They only want as many of us alive as will keep feeding them money that they don’t need. If anyone is seen as a drain or even just neutral on that, the rich want them GONE.
These are the brilliant business leaders we’re all supposed to admire? He’s doing what he said he would and now they’re surprised? They could have actively worked against his election and this wouldn’t be an issue.
We've already got a very serious sexual violence problem from the Republicans. Those are wartime casualty numbers inflicted by Republicans on Americans.
Oh, the Wall Street people that supported Trump - or stayed on the sidelines - during the election? So now you are all hoping he won’t do what he said he would do?
Human nature doesn’t like change. Change isn’t usually effected until things become absolutely intolerable. So once he starts hurting enough powerful wallets, that’s when the hammer will be dropped on this arrogant monster.
Oh no they have a plan. The plan is to have low level criminals work in the fields like a chain gang. Be ready for them to scrap welfare too. They want you working before they give out any welfare money. I’ve heard them say this before.
So the rich just want what… genocide-lite? Where they purge just the right amount of unsavory people? Don’t vote for a monster and think you’ll be unaffected. Such stupidity really reveals that being wealthy has little to do with much but luck!
This is such an anti-worker perspective. It won’t cause inflation because workers spend every penny they earn. The loss of demand will counteract tighter labor market while the resulting recession will be plenty deflationary. Hard-working people are good for our economy!
Dont worry his supporters will fo the jon, oh wait most are white tic tokers who dont want a real job, maybe he will need another ex order to gorce gen z and his dummy systems supporters to work.
He’s already trying to play semantics with the 14th amendment. Wouldn’t shock me in the least if he tries to turn undocumented migrants in custody into the new (state-owned) slave class in America.
Are you familiar with the Alabama immigration disaster from 2011 or the proposals in Agenda 47? Agenda 47 explicitly called for privately run concentration camps to hold immigrants. Since leased convict labor is already standard it would be weird if detained immigrants weren't rented out as slaves.
Yeah. And if he mixed it all with his honky “state of emergency” and the precedent of indefinitely detained enemy combatants from the War on Terror…it could be bad. Very, very bad. Brown Spanish-speaking people rounded up into labor camps and never being heard from again bad.
Yeah, I didn't invent that out of thin air. Maga quote from an article about immigration years ago. And then we heard Trump say "black jobs" during the election. They're white supremacists who want them "back in the fields" - Old Media is completely fucking useless reporting any of this accurately.
At this point, I feel all his voters need to experience exactly that. Maybe they'll learn ... maybe they'll continue to blame everyone else except themselves and 🤡
I'm frankly surprised he hasn't tried to blackmail them by saying they give him something and he will give them a temporary exemption or that he gives red states an exemption, but not blue states

But not before prices skyrocket…

Everyone should read “The Shock Doctrine” by Naomi Klein if you want to understand what Dullard Donald and his fellow kleptocrats are trying to do.
To put it mildly, it’s not good.
How does that make us great?

They only believe what's loyal. Not what's supported by observable evidence.

The GOP want us all to work until we die.

Just because they can.
I want to see red hats on every single person picking my broccoli from now on.
They wanted those jobs so badly, put their fat, bootlicking asses in the fields and tell them to start picking.
Seriously?

to pass up such an opportunity is not like Trump
What part of this bullshit makes America “great” again
