Free speech bros…
Late as fuck but people are taking this out of context. Illegal protests are "protests" that involve violence, blocking roads, vandalism, ect. I.E the fiery but peaceful ilk. These are not free speech, it's violence and crime trying to disguise itself under free speech and even then, Trump is only pulling funding, not arresting anyone and as federal funded schools, they're obligated to follow federal law. If they want to have nigger riots calling itself free speech then they can become a private school
 
I'm trying to catch up with the highlights because I didn't watch the address. What I got was that the Dems "protested" with stupid signs and they didn't clap for a black kid. Did Trump say anything else that was also important?
 
Whether Trumps plan to make us the most prosperous we've ever been or whatever phrasing he used actually works or not, I can at least appreciate that he's willing to admit that there's going to be some pain in the short term while things are put into place. After the last 4 years of constant denial and lies, even re-defining recession so they could say we're totally not in a recession, it's refreshing.

This is what I thought as well. Like when the Palestinian retards decided to block off the whole entire school and threaten to beat up people trying to get to class. There is a big difference between that, burning cars, beating people up and walking around with signs chanting.
 
Inadvertently admitting that the guy the supported for four years had to call every press conference after four minutes was shitting his pants and they knew it?
This is one of the things the left does. Weaponzied projection. They know Biden shat himself, repeatedly, including in front of the fucking false Pope. But if they pretend it was REALLY Trump that did it, or that Trump did it too, then it's OK that their guy did it! It's something everyone does!
 
Democrats are fucking evil, dude. Booing murdered children and cancer survivors. What the fuck, man? How can any of these people live with themselves?
It's one of the party's biggest fuckups in a while, and this is the party that ran Kamala Harris for president. Trump made a point telling everyone that they won't applaud anything he does and then proceeds to present nice things everyone can agree is good, the biggest example being the little kid with cancer. All the idiots had to do was stand, turn toward the kid and politely clap but they couldn't pull that off.

It's because they're all under orders from who knows what. They released the same video before the speech which made them look dumb and then they fell right into Trumps trap like they always seem to do, at least the ones that bothered to show up. The ones that didn't made it out a little better but it's proof that there's two Democratic parties right now and they can't agree.

Al Green screaming for attention didn't help much either.

Their constituents online will just cope how actually trump is in the wrong for doing something nice for a kid with cancer.
 
The IMPORTER pays the tariff, NOT the CUSTOMER. I’m so fucking sick of this complete misconception.
So your argument is that the tariffs just make it more expensive for American businesses to do business rather than making it more expensive for consumers to consume? Oh that’s much better… and just so you know businesses always pass costs onto customers rather than eat into their profits.
The amount of jobs that would be moved here domestically would far outweigh any sort of hypothetical price of goods in the long run. Think forwardly.
America does not currently have the industry set up to build consumer goods completely within the USA. That does not pop up overnight, or even over months. Businesses have very little incentive to move jobs into the US because the consumers are essentially hostage to the tariffs. All manufacturers will face the same tariffs so why would they move manufacturing to the US? They can just raise the price and continue business as usual while Americans are faced with the choice of paying the higher price or going without. And for the few industries where there are US domestic competitors (automotive, for example) the foreign competitors raise prices and maybe set up some part of their manufacturing in the US but they do it as a measure to save cost and increase profit, never to lower price.

Don’t get me wrong, I support more domestic industry and higher self-sufficiency, but tariffs are the wrong tool for the job. The right tool would be industry subsidies that make it so damn easy to outcompete foreign products that every man and his dog can start a competitive business. But that would require taxing Don’s billionaire buddies a bit more which he is wholly unwilling to do.
