Fantasy and Horror author. Not as well traveled as I would like to be. Trying to be better every day. Hoping I can be like the characters I would love to introduce to the world.
So, the plan was impose tariffs while marketing them as something other countries pay, then use the money actually paid by US citizens to cut checks back to them so they see his name on money given to them. Sounds like an election campaign scheme to me.

We continue to choose the economic model of capitalism over the governmental system of democratic republic every time. Wealth makes right has replaced might makes right.

The hard part for most is the math behind that 65k average income. Looks decent on the surface, but it's not.

I don't know how this is difficult. Pay people a living wage, better healthcare, affordable pregnancies and births, making sure families can choose their planning, finances, and safety.

He just lied. He said whatever he thought would get votes and people believed him, whether because of optimism, stupidity, fear or hatred. He's just a conman.

Some people don't want freedom. They want someone to tell them what to do, where to go, and what to believe.

I've been hearing the discourse about people who think opinions and facts are the same thing. As a person who likes to live in reality, this terrifies me.
