Nah. Trump is not different, the people backing him are just way more organized. They were not subtle about any of this. Anyone who believed he wouldn't do the things he and his people literally said they wanted to do, is willfully ignorant. People like this are not trustworthy. All it will take is a slightly better lie to get them to turn on us again. Admitting you were wrong about something so obvious doesn't deserve praise.

Trump 1.0 was forced into surrounding himself with more typical NeoLib Republicans who kept their same usual trajectory of just mildly fucking Americans and the budget without making too much of a splash.

Trump 2.0 is embracing the more radicals who openly want to tear America down and rebuild it into a white nationalist Oligarchy.

Tariffs are bad because every other country has 0% Tariffs on US goods.

Focused tariffs have a purpose. Blanket tariffs are stupid.

What wealthy country has blanket tariffs?
