@bman posted:Of course there is something wrong with donating to Trump, unless you want the undermining of the rule of law, destruction of democratic institutions, and imposition of autocracy to continue. In other words, unless you are Russia, China and other countries looking to do American harm. No one who understands how politics, governance, and the interconnectedness of the world today works would want Trump to continue in power.
And if you haven't noticed, there is no longer a Republican Party, it is now the Trumpublican Party, as the only acid test is loyalty to the malevolent narcissist.
Exactly. Trump is not and has never been a republican. As a lifelong republican myself I never thought I would see tariffs again from the party as history has shown that Hoover and his tariffs ( Smoot Hawley) played a major role in the Great Depression. Also, the Federal Reserve has stated that as of September 2019 Trump’s tariffs cost the American consumer $7.1B in additional cost and displaced 100’s of thousands of American workers. Keep in mind, this doesn’t include the largest ever giveaway of taxpayers money Trump had to give farmers due to his idiocy on trade. Please keep in mind, this was free money ( taxpayers) that will never be repaid as opposed to the automobile industry which was repaid.
Also, Trump has added to the federal deficit like a drunk sailor prior to the pandemic. It seems the current Republican Party is all talk about deficit spending until they are in power. As a fiscal conservative I don’t have a clue who this party is anymore.
As you know, B, I can’t stand Hillary Clinton, but she has nothing to do with what this fraud and conman is doing and has done. Nothing.
