    He’s not wrong, they did sign up for it. They’re just too stupid to realize it. Trump’s last trade war required a bailout of over 10 billion to rescue farmers, and somehow they’re surprised the second time around?

        No they got that news, just too stupid to recognize why they needed the many farm bail outs.

        Or as one family member reacted to trumps previous tariffs that fucked over farmers they just need to get better at future planning…

      In some ways its a shame that there are other people in the room that can impact his decisions, now that any of the adults from the first admin are gone.

      Good chance he would sign an EO creating price caps on certain goods as a super senile idea. Which would have been funny to see.
