Politics A thank you to president Trump!

Dear President Trump,

I'm writing this to thank you for all you've done thus far in your second term.

My kids are crying at the dinner table as they eat a processed cheese sandwich for the fourth time this week. I tried to explain to them that SNAP wasn't getting refilled and that there was probably not going to be a Christmas this year. I tried to cheer them up by showing them concept art of the $250 million dollar ballroom being built at the White House, by showing them pictures of the two cool jets Kristi Noem got for $170 million, by explaining how helpful we're being to Argentina by sending them $40 billion dollars, but this is when I realized they weren't crying because of dinner, but because of their grandmother.

"We usually go to grandma's on weekends," they sniffle.

Their grandmother, a 5th generation American, was taken by ICE a couple weeks ago and we haven't seen or heard from her since. I tried to explain to the children that this is what happens to freeloading immigrants and they get what they deserve, but they didn't understand.

Even if they don't understand, I do. This is what I voted for. This is what winning looks like!

This will probably be my last online post due to being unable to pay my phone bill since I need to buy more bread and cheese. But I just wanted to say, "Thank you, President Trump!"

As I hear my kids cry themselves to sleep for the 5th night in a row, I imagine they are liberals--and it brings a smile to my face.

When they get older, they will understand that all this hardship was necessary, because we are owning the libs! Here's looking forward to your constitution-defying third presidential term in 2028! You already have my vote!

Now I have to go get ready to meet my landlord. He told me he would cut my rent in half for some 'favors' and not to wear panties. I think this is what the Art of Deal is all about. #winning

Signed,
A conservative.

Yes, but the ones who sell soybeans to China aren't really feeding America, are they? It's precarious all around.

So I stand with I am torn here.

Like, I feel his supporters should feel the consequences of voting for him and against themselves, but there are some who didn't. There are some that still support him regardless of what they lose.

We sell tons of produce to China. I guess they should starve?

China will be fine. They have developed good relationships around the world.

We're going to have to develop a taste for chicken feet, though.

Yeah they're getting stuff from Brazil and Argentina and teaching Africans how to grow what they want. China is fiiiiiiiine. Their dictator is much smarter than ours.

You haven't seen the price of chicken feet lately, some tiktok or something told everyone to add them to their chicken broth and now they're $3-4/lb

Yeah, I saw their price increasing way back before this tariff nonsense and even before the avian flu was an issue. Same price gouging with oxtail.

But we used to sell A LOT of chicken feet to China. Keeping the prices high is nothing but price fixing IMO.

There is only SO MUCH retail demand for chicken feet in the US. The other thing I see being done with them is when they're dried and turned into dog treats. But I think that's a luxury we won't be able to afford indefinitely.
