If anyone else other than Trump did anything wrong it was like the world was ending. When it's Trump everyone has kid gloves on.

That’s because no one trusts what Trump says, even his supporters. It’s literally what a supporter of his said to me when the tariffs were first talked about weeks ago. “Oh he won’t go through with it.” So you are okay supporting someone who will lie to you. Okay

The funny thing is the people who say this will have another excuse already. "Oh it's for the good of the economy", "Oh the economy needs to get worse before it gets better." Repeat forever
