        I don’t think he cares about filling the Treasury, unless you mean his personal bank account.

        He sees tariffs as something other countries don’t like. So if he uses the tool, he makes other countries come to him to make deals. These deals give him a chance to be bribed. That’s all there is to it. And he’s been successful since his family fortune has been increasing by $1,000,000,000/month since he took office. And crypto is the perfect method to enable this corruption.

      He’s the shiny puppet that distracts you from the criminal fascist republican party which exists to increase their own power and wealth by undermining democracy.

      Tariffs would be gone tomorrow if republicans in congress wished it. Trump would be impeached and removed from office within a few weeks if the republicans in congress wished it.

      Are they performing their duty to control tariffs? Are they performing their separation of powers duties to stop a criminal who keeps violating the constitution?

      No, they are not. Instead they are praising him and passing budget plans and laws that transfer even more wealth to billionaires and further weaken separation of powers.

      The republican party is a criminal organization.

      I laugh so hard every time he talks about other countries releasing their insane into our country! No, Donny. Those are called asylum seekers. Very important distinction.

      He’s not stupid, he’s corrupt. He wants bribes to remove tariffs, and it’s working.

      He doesn’t care that this hurts real people.

    I can’t wait to get one of those high paying jobs assembling iPhones when they bring the manufacturing back here.
