This inveigling of the American public needs to stop, and democrats need to start absolutely flooding every single media outlet possible with rebuttals. You don’t charge a foreign country tariffs, you charge your own country the tariffs; but the deceptive phrasing here is an intentional misleading of people who don’t understand global economics.
Democrats are way too “nice guy energy” for that, they literally did a 180 on calling Trump a fascist the moment he got elected even though they are 100% correct. It’s insane. Joe will literally walk himself into his prison cell if it would mean that he would look the more civilized person.
