As you can see, Heard and McDonald residents are out in force protesting.
Just a wee reminder:
Tariffs are taxes paid by U.S. companies as they import goods. While the White House argues foreign countries will lower their prices to compensate, economists broadly agree that U.S. companies and consumers will bear the brunt of the tariffs. (source)So then, everything we buy is about to get significantly more expensive. There really isn’t that much that’s made in America anymore. Look at the tags in your clothes—most of what we buy and wear was made in China (34% tariff), Vietnam (46% tariff), India (26% tariff), Bangladesh (37% tariff), Mexico (34% tariff), Indonesia (32% tariff), Cambodia (49% tariff), Pakistan (29% tariff), Honduras (10% tariff), and Italy (20% tariff).
I need new underwear. How much more will my 10 pack of Fruit of the Looms cost now?
Where is all the MAGA merch made? Who produces those caps, shirts, keychains, etc. The official Trump Store says they’re made in America by Americans BUT *oopsie* that’s a stoney-ass lie.
The ABC News 4 crew walked around outside the rally in North Charleston Friday, lifting the tags on several items. Many read made in China, in the Dominican Republic, in Haiti and in Honduras but not in the USA. (source)By the by, the 34% reciprocal tariff that China faces is in addition to a 20% tariff on the country which is already in effect.
Are MAGAts willing and able to buy more of the bloated beast’s ugly and already pricey schmattas at an even higher price? Today, hoodies start at $85, sweaters run for $82 - $150, hats $38-$55.
Your brandy new, black on black, made in China MAGA hat is gonna go up in price from a $55 to the $84.70. (not including shipping and handling) Is it worth it? Can you manage it now that you’re paying 34% more for groceries, your rent is 50% more than last year and your kids are growing like bean stalks and need new clothes every other week?
Are you aware of the STABLE GENIUS Act? That’s an acronym for Standardizing Testing and Accountability Before Large Elections Giving Electors Necessary Information for Unobstructed Selection. House Rep Brendan Boyle (PA-02) first introduced the legislation as HR 4742 in January 2018 after the Tangerine Toddler claimed to be “like, really smart” and “a very stable genius.”
This bill requires the principal campaign committee of a candidate for President to file a report with the Election Assistance Commission containing the results of a medical examination of the candidate conducted by a medical office under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Navy after the candidate has won the nomination of a political party. (source)I believe, if we’re ever rid of this malevolent treason twat, this MUST be reintroduced and made law. Also, no one with 34 felony convictions (with god only knows how many more pending) and six bankruptcies should EVAH be eligible for office. He's qualified for jail but not much else.
