Well, America, you get what you voted for. Whether you sat out the November 2024 election or voted for Trump, you have screwed us all!

Trump announced that he would impose tariffs on all products from Canada, China, and Mexico once he takes office in mid-January 2025. This means that American companies will pay more for those products, and in turn, they will pass that increase on to consumers.

This wouldn’t have happened under a Harris Administration!

People voted with their hatred and not with their heads. They didn’t want a woman as president, they didn’t want a Black woman as president, or they didn’t want Kamala Harris for president. Whatever the case, we now have twice-impeached, multiple indictments sexual predator for a President who is going to bleed this country dry.

Thanks a lot, Trump voters! You don’t have the sense God gave you!

What can be done about it? Well, the President of Mexico (a woman, by the way) wants to meet with Trump and his team to negotiate the situation. I’m assuming Canada and China would like to do the same. Trump has to understand that his actions will damage the wallets of the American people. Things are expensive, and goods and services may become unattainable for many citizens under Trump.
