 Overseeing the start of the Ukraine and Israel/Gaza Wars is a high bar for Trump to exceed. Why would you want the worst for your president for the next 4+ yrs? Especially when the spending impacts your purchasing power… Likely to be worse based upon what? Your pure hatred? 🤨

 I never said I wanted it to be worse. I said I think it will be. 

In terms of purchasing power, if Trump gets his was with mass deportation and tariffs, have fun with your purchasing power then. 

I’m just reporting and making observations and predictions. I actually also posted on here that I genuinely hoped Trump will be less war hawkish.

 I’d bet Biden’s subsidizing migrants lives with cell phones, plane tickets, debit cards, and hotels EXCEEDS the deportation costs because they’re recurring. 

Would you rather have tariffs, short term price increases, and stability of on-shoring and employing Americans, OR, supporting Chinese/foreign slave labor perpetually so your iPhone can remain <$1000?
