his tariffs caused them hardship in his first term and then he says in '24 he's GOING TO DO IT AGAIN!

It's as if I shoot you with a gun, the gun is taken away from me, and I ask you to give it back to me so I can shoot you again. You decide to give it back to me thinking I won't ACTUALLY shoot you even though I SAY I WILL. I get the gun back and I shoot you again just like I did last time and said I would do this time. And you're SHOCKED AND HURT that I shot you!

Part of me feels bad for these Trump voting farmers. The other part of me wonders how stupid do you have to be that you cannot or do not understand simple logic.

Sometimes I think there's no hope for humanity.
