When ABC News' Terry Moran asked Pres. Donald Trump to respond to voters who may be concerned that rising costs are not what they "signed up for," Trump responded: "Well, they did sign up for this actually."

He's not wrong, they did sign up for it. They're just too stupid to realize it. Trump's last trade war required a bailout of over 10 billion to rescue farmers, and somehow they're surprised the second time around?

they never got the news "farmers had to get bailed out". they are put in a carefully controlled information bubble. at least those more out there people you to allude to.

they just know "Trump Was The BEST Commander To Our ECONOMY!" or that "Biden Does Blood RITUALS With BABIES!" or something.

No they got that news, just too stupid to recognize why they needed the many farm bail outs.

Or as one family member reacted to trumps previous tariffs that fucked over farmers they just need to get better at future planning...

those don't really want to change their view, and make an effort not to. its more comfortable to keep banging their heads trying to fit their old worldview into a completely different world.

tell me if you ever find out how to even talk with those, if they can even be deprogrammed at this point.

In some ways its a shame that there are other people in the room that can impact his decisions, now that any of the adults from the first admin are gone.

Good chance he would sign an EO creating price caps on certain goods as a super senile idea. Which would have been funny to see.
