Dictator Donald is ruining the United Sates. Lord help us.

DONALD TRUMP IS BULLY & TRULY DICTATOR! IS RUINING OUR VALUES & RELATIONSHIP TO ALL OUR ALLIES. HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED AGAIN BEFORE AMERICA’S MELTDOWN. HE IS INSANELY OUT OF HIS MIND ALREADY IN HIS AGE. IT SHOULD BE DECLARE THE 25th AMENDMENT NOW TO REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!! HE IS BEEN ONLY 12 DAYS IN HIS PRESIDENCY AND HE ALREADY CREATED A LOTS OF CHAOS TO OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY??❤️?

JVL of the Bulwark pointed out that tariffs are the fastest way for a dictator to take over a nation's entire business community. Trump gets every CEO on bended knee, starting with Bezos. And in addition, tariffs are a huge personal revenue source for Trump, and don't imagine that he won't find a way to lay hold of that stream. Michael Cohen has pointed out how MBS modeled for Trump how to turn a national wealth fund into a personal income account, and tariffs check all the boxes for massive grift.\nFinally, tariffs rationalize the catastrophic tax cuts Trump is financing for himself and his friends, so they look good on paper. They ruin nationa and trade relationships, but hey. It's a win win win for Donald Trump, who won the election.
