    “On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders,”

    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.
