Yeah, that's petty much what every credible economist said would happen after reading the Trump campaign's economic plans last election.
Truly shocking stuff to see experts in their field being right about something.

Warren Buffet sold shares, built up his company's biggest cash reserve in its history and bought 5% of US Treasuries, all before and after Trump won. Plenty knew Trump is bad news.

Backfiring implies it was intended to help them in the first place. It is working exactly as Stephen Miller intended, I'd say.

You mean uneducated and entitled white people can't fill in the labor gaps? I'm shocked.
