A bitter irony that has MAGA believing they are being saved while they are being skinned.

This economic experiment, cloaked in populist platitudes, reveals its true allegiance not to the people but to an insular elite that profits from chaos while leaving the rest to languish.

The rhetoric of self-sufficiency is betrayed by the reality: a hollowing out of opportunity for ordinary citizens, whose labor and aspirations are treated as collateral damage in a misguided quest for self sufficiency.

Small businesses, the supposed backbone of American prosperity, are crushed under the weight of retaliatory measures from China and other global partners, while multinational corporations maneuver around these constraints with ease.

Under the guise of “economic nationalism,” these policies have proven themselves to be little more than a protectionist charade, wielding blunt instruments like universal tariffs that burden households with rising costs and erode America’s competitive edge.

The trade war, tariffs, and economic policies championed by the Trump administration are not designed to serve the lower or middle classes but rather to placate a nationalist fantasy that sacrifices real livelihoods on the altar of political theater.

Literal morons
