Never did I anticipate that I’d be listening to Bill Kristol on a regular basis and always agreeing with him.

Trump's fragile ego will not be able to handle the female President of Mexico threatening him with retaliation

There is 100% no chance any of this is going to end good

I cannot wait to get my giant tax cut which will amount to enough for maybe dinner for two at a modestly priced restaurant. Elon will be able to buy MSNBC with his tax cuts and Ramaswamy will be able to buy CNN. What a great country we live in. Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose. I think we are going through another gilded age which will become even more unequal after more tax breaks for the super rich

A “bargaining chip” isn’t a bargaining chip if everybody thinks you’re full of it.

This might seem selfish, however the only comfort that these announcements of tariffs give me is that, those who voted for him suffer with me.

He said over & over what he had planned. He told us what the con was going to be & they bought his con line AGAIN!
What happened to fool me once🙄

[pamlewis]

I appreciate you folks so much. We have to stick together. 🇺🇸

[Bunnylovesme]

Thank you!!! For all that you do. ❤ the Bulwark!

I really hope the Mexican president is the one who stands up for God's sake somebody has to.

Why don’t Americans understand what a Tariff is? Bad education system.😢

[tpiety]

Have a good Thanksgiving! Don’t ever stop giving it to us straight!

[annettehunter]

Sadly his voters will have to learn the hard way.

Harris asked: What kind of country do you want to live in? Well here you go! Your choice.

[lindaweitman]

The leader from Mexico basically replied that two could play that game.

I expect Trump to add several trillion to the national debt. I think they’ll start mass deportations and they’ll go poorly but they’ll keep pushing for 6-12 months before it gets stuck in various patches of mud (legal, public response, violence). Half this country never learned the lessons from Trump’s first term. I’ve already sold and moved a bunch of stock. The market may increase through the end of the year, but I see a large correction on the horizon.

On another Bulwark channel, we were told the nominees Trump has picked and the Federalist Society have already been writing the Executive Orders for Trump to sign on day 1, so there will be no delays That was why so many of his people have been picked so quickly in advance.

I cant believe how much I appreciate Bill Kristol you could say I love the man for his commentary these days in compared to my distaste for him during the Bush years!

[ebrudy]

I also don’t put it passed companies to use the implementation of tariffs to raise prices on everything because the normal consumer is clueless

I’ve been buying tons of art supplies, a new laptop and tv, having a new roof installed and have already met with my financial advisor as to where to move my money so it’s safe. I will never ever not take trumps evil seriously. I refuse to sit idle and wait for the bottom to drop out.
