Well, I think many actually believed him when he said he knew nothing about Project 2025. They may learn that when trump's lips are moving...he is lying.

Jim, Trump told them he loved Tariffs and "they are coming". These people are not smart enough to figure it out.

The proceeds from Tariffs, that we pay for, go into the government. trump is planning on enriching his fellow billionaires with a tax cut from the proceeds. trump is planning on an opposite of Robin Hood.
/----/ It costs nothing to let people keep their own money. So, tell us, how much do billionaires already pay in taxes?

yes Jim, this is a way to fund the Permanent Tax Cuts for the wealthy. These people can not and will not open their minds to acknowledge this.
Jim, CULTISTS
/---/ We don't pay anything to let people keep their own money. Not the rich, not the middle class, not the poor. DERPyes Jim, this is a way to fund the Permanent Tax Cuts for the wealthy. These people can not and will not open their minds to acknowledge this. Jim, CULTISTS

Tariffs didn't actually cause the Depression of 1929. They certainly didn't help, and they were terrible for global exporters.

we most certainly do. The wealthy get a Permanent tax cut. The rest, do not. You have been conned by the greatest conman in history
/---/ Back up your hysterical claim with some facts.

Many tax cut provisions contained in the TCJA, notably including individual income tax cuts, such as the changes to the standard deduction in §63 of the IRC, are scheduled to expire in 2025 while many of the business tax cuts expire in 2028.

- Large, permanent corporate tax cuts. The centerpiece of the law was a deep, permanent cut in the corporate tax rate — from 35 percent to 21 percent — and a shift toward a territorial tax system, which exempts certain foreign income of multinational corporations from tax.

Trump’s Tariffs Are Working — Here Are Several Countries Already Backing Down | The Gateway Pundit | by Ben Kew
President Trump’s tariffs are already having an impact with many countries offering the U.S. concessions in order to secure an exemption.

Soft Job Openings Estimate for Construction
Are you trying to get us back to Biden levels?
The number of open jobs for the overall economy declined from 7.76 million in January to 7.57 million in February. This is notably smaller than the 8.45 million estimate reported a year ago and reflects a softened aggregate labor market.

This is as bad as Bush's coalition to invade Iraq. All the countries on your list said they would discuss. They're still going to protect the industries they need to protect in order to keep their economies strong.
So if they get rid of the tariffs, you still want to bring jobs back home?

In his first 2 1/2 months in office, President Donald Trump has embraced sweeping arbitrary executive power in a manner not previously seen in American history. He is circumventing Congress, ignoring the courts and using the power of the state to crush any opposition to his agenda. This is a turn away from liberal democracy and toward autocracy.
you
This is exactly what Trump promised during his bid for a second term. After surviving impeachment and criminal indictments for fomenting an insurrection aimed at overturning a lawful election, he ran on a promise to be a “dictator on day one” so that he could wage a domestic war of “retribution” against what he termed the “enemy within.”
This turn toward autocracy is not coming from the point of a gun, as the rise of 20th century dictators would have us believe, but instead through assertions of law.
Trump’s exertions of executive power masquerade as law through edicts aimed at crushing his political opposition, eliminating opposition in civil society, removing sources of knowledge and learning that contest his power, sidelining Congress and the courts, and centralizing power in his own hands.
What we are seeing at the outset of the second Trump administration is a full-scale attack on democracy, liberal principles, and the rule of law that have been enshrined in legal precedents and the Constitution in order to establish autocratic rule. While there have been significant antidemocratic and authoritarian movements in U.S. history from the Slave Power to Jim Crow to wartime repressions to McCarthyism, a peacetime assault of this scale and national scope directed from the White House has no historical analogue in this country.
The Playbook
What is happening in America today is the same scene that has played out in various countries across the globe in the 21st century.From Hungary to Turkey to Poland to Russia to India, democracies collapse into autocracy not after a strongman seizes control of the military or through violent coups but through legal machinations that cement their control and neuter their opposition. They don’t necessarily end elections or entirely eliminate their opponents. Instead, they put their thumb on the scale to ensure elections go their way and that their opponents are weak.
It Is Happening Here
Trump is following the playbook of autocrats around the world — and it could change America forever.
