6 months ago were you saying "there's no way he'll do broad tariffs" or "there's no way he'll do a mass deportation campaign?"


How many tariffs have been realized? Very few...

Deporting known criminals and gang affiliates isn't a "mass deportation campaign".

Don't allow your flavor of politics to cloud your world view.

And... you've interpreted my writings incorrectly. I've been hoping for reciprocal tariffs most of my life...


Not true, there’s been a huge jump in deportation of people with no criminal record. You’re right though there has been only a marginal increase in deportations specifically of criminals.

The effective tariff rate on American consumers is above 20%…

Just because there can be MORE deportations and MORE tariffs doesn’t mean he’s not doing them lol. You’ve done a fine job of revealing your motivated reasoning anyhow. Clearly one shouldn’t take your predictions on NWS seriously.
