Nothing they're doing makes sense.

Trump specifically, there is no "they" in this instance

The Work for Peanuts and Tips economy for a large portion of their unskilled exploitable Labor force is Modern Day Slavery in the USA, so why does nobody mention this.

A truly right wing anti worker system that has become "that's the way we do things" without any callout of how absolutely fkd this is!

it makes perfect sense if you remember the whole purpose of trump and the gop is scamming money and being authoritarians

the tariff thing is just a way to divert attention, to say it isn't a sales tax

stop pretending that trump/gop are trying to govern and failing, they are not trying to govern, they are scammers
