The very same people who drove manufacturing overseas by shopping at Walmart are now the idiots who think tariffs will bring manufacturing back.

“There are already signs that Trump’s economic policies are stamping out the Biden factory boom: During the first quarter of 2025, clean-energy companies on net canceled more construction projects than they had canceled in all of 2023 and 2024” @citizencohn.bsky.social

Let's repeat it for folks in the back. When Bill Clinton cut 300,000 + jobs from the federal workforce, he did it with the APPROVAL of Congress after review and a VOTE! He did NOT illegally take it upon himself to drastically slash entire agencies and programs - with NO plan for continued service.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

FWIW, my general assumption is that most of the public has fairly weakly held views on trade policy and fairly strongly held views on cost of living

I truly hope that one silver lining we take from this coup is that voters begin to understand that when you vote for president, you’re not just selecting one person. You’re selecting all the judges they’ll appoint, and the entire cabinet.

Donald Trump was the first president in a century to preside over net jobs loss during his first term and unsurprisingly he's picking right up where he left off. Congrats, America.
