Did Trump just admit that Elon stole the election for him?

Dear everyone,

Donald Trump just imposed tariffs. I repeat, he actually imposed them on Canada, Mexico, and China. He set a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico with the exception of a 10% tax on oil from Canada because we're reliant on it, and a 10% tax for China.

This is not funny. Canada has explicitly promised retaliation in the form of their own tariffs and cutting off electricity supplies to the US.

Anyone who has basic history knowledge knows that tariffs have almost never worked out in history, and when they have it has been in countries with significantly different situations than ours. The US already has diverse industries and a good economy and firm trade established with other countries. This will ruin that.

Trump will not stop here. He's stated that when March comes, he plans to implement tariffs on the EU too. This would mean tariffs are on all major US trade partners in a month.

This will NOT stop trading. It will not lead to the US becoming more self-reliant. We have far too many people and diverse needs to meet them all independently. Trades will keep happening, just at a higher price. Just slower.

This will drive up prices for everyday goods. This will make things more unaffordable. This will achieve no economic goal except to hurt those who are poor and already in the trenches.

Do you know who receives these tariffs, dear citizens? The government. These taxes go straight from your wallet into the government's pocket. Into Trump's bank account, given he's been shown to take government property before.

Trump's right! These tariffs will benefit him. Just him and him alone.

"The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them."

- Turkish Proverb

Okay, trees, I know it's hard to understand but those billionaires? That orange stain now in office? They're the axe, honey. They've always been the axe.

And we've never been anything but kindling to them.

No this is pure vindictiveness; Leonard Leo, the Catholic integralist at the head of the Federalist Society (and a Knight of Malta) has been after this for some time now.

'You survived 8 years of Reagan, you can survive another 4 years of Trump' was one of those lines I hated and which I can't help but remember as cold comfort indeed.

It's an open notes test and some dense motherfuckers still can't figure out the answers.

I'm saying it again: do not let MAGA rewrite the narrative.

[sprinkledsalt]

I see this has gained notes.

Remember: 75 million people voted for Kamala Harris. She got the 3rd most amount of votes in history, and more votes than anyone ever received prior to 2020. It was a 49-48 election, with the majority of voters either choosing Harris or a 3rd party candidate. MAGA does not have a majority. Trump lost the popular vote 2 out of 3 times, and he never won over 50% of votes.

he is literally signing away years of progress, soon enough the civil rights acts will probably be gone too

It’s uncanny how similar Trump is acting like Hitler. People are now doing the Nazi salute. They’re drawing the symbol. The KKK was seen in Kentucky asking people to join them. ICE has been ripping families apart. Companies have pulled back Diversity Initiatives. We’re no longer part of WHO and there won’t be any communication from the CDC at least until February 1st. We’re being censored and the news can’t be trusted. Thousands of Americans didn’t know there were protests against Trump yesterday outside the U.S. Quotes from The Handmaid’s Tale and Anne Frank have been compared to what’s going on right now.

According to The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Studies and Prevention the U.S. has officially been given a red flag alert for Genocide.

I’m exhausted but I will never stop being angry.
