Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?

Lots of the Musk Administration stuff has zero constituency. It’s just stuff him, Trump, and a few Heritage Foundation guys thought up. This is one of them. Nobody was asking for tariffs on the whole world or thought it’d be a good idea.

Nobody was asking for tariffs on the whole world or thought it’d be a good idea.

But he floated his tariff garbage before the election and it was all over the media.

Conservatives absolutely voted for tariffs. Which every economist said was a bad idea.

They chose stupid and ran with it. As always.

  Worst example of tail wagging the dog. Trump says stuff, and followers think it’s a good idea because Trump said it. Nobody actually wanted this.
