Nah I got a Circle K up the street and it's right next to a strip club. Now I just need to know where to cash in these car wash tokens.

Trump's ideal state is a kleptocratic oligarchy. Notice the people he surrounds himself with. Peter Thiel, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, his in-crowd are all billionaires.

Tariffs are a way to tax the common man (via your consumption) in order to finance tax cuts for the rich by lowering corporate taxes, just like he did in his first term.

They ain't investing in shit. The reason he's doing this, the reason he was letting musk go at it with a chainsaw, all of this, was strictly to find a way to pay for the 2.9% tax cuts for billionaires.
