*Pathology expressed thru policy* When I learned about tariffs in high school, the textbook describe them as a "punitive policy tool." I'm thinking that something like this caught Trump's fancy when he was young,and that's why he's been a "tariff man" ever since.

When asked by a reporter if he would like a government benefit to fix his broken teeth, the Trump supporter replied,"Not if the benefits go to any immigrants." Will they accept the loss of Medicaid and still support dear leader? Sacrifice feeds victimhood. Whatever..

When Trump slaps a tariff on another Nation he is telling them," if you don't do what I say, I'm going to tax my own people, damn you!"

Both both George W bush and Donald Trump use the same sneaky budget trick to enhance the apparent effects of their tax cuts for Working Class People. They altered the withholding tables so that half of your weekly pay bump was borrowed from your annual income tax refund. Big surprise at tax time!

If the brain - dead women in Georgia's hydrocephalic baby is born with a disability, will it be kicked off Medicaid? What if it is found to be a "public charge?" This grotesque commitment to life is the closest thing to a principle the MAGAs have.

Their ride or die nihilism trumps all other considerations.

For Trump supporters in North Carolina and Arkansas, the price for owning the libs in California by denying them aid from FEMA is going without aid from FEMA in their own States. Hope it was worth it..

One of the dominant traits of Trump's feral hog brand of politics is jamming one's link to him up one's own ass. His supporters and allies get punked and then stay mostly silent from fear and/or embarrassment. This and grifting are his favorite things.

Working class Trump voters voting against their own economic self-interest is a feature-not a bug. "Dad, when I grow up I want to be an instrument of my own destruction ".

I wonder how many working-class Trump voters realize that his big-ass bill only extends the 2017 cuts. Y'all are going to have to be happy with the status quo while the rich get new cuts. Under Harris' plan, wage earners would see a raise in weekly take-home pay while lowering the budget deficit.

Our liberal pundits are constantly badgering dems to roll out their new magic message. The fact that it hasn't taken shape as a fully formed narrative is portrayed as a failure. The new message needs to be a response to the damage from Trump's policies and that hasn't set in yet. Patience.

Projection is confession... Trump says he is the only president to try to get the lower drug prices paid by Canada and other countries for America. Republicans have been working to prevent exactly that in congress forever.

Trump gets off on rubbing our nose in the abject stupidity.

In 2019 in an interview with Brian Stelter, psychiatrist Frances Allen posited that Trump would kill more people than Hitler, Stalin and Mao. He was just getting started with half a million needless covid deaths. Now 20 million HIV pos Africans are at risk of dying due to the ending of PEPFAR.
