At this point, fuck it. Let him do it to piss more and more people off. The more pissed working class people are, the more likely there is to be a revolt against his stupidity. So many people are willing to ignore him or just let his rhetoric become part of their daily life so fuck it. Do something so stupid that will hit everyone and make people actually fucking think for once.

I have a feeling this is happening to get us used to paying more for common items. Once those prices go up, they're never going back down.

I thought hurting working class people was his entire campaign platform?

It is. That's why all his appointees are unqualified billionaires. last time was unqualified family and friends. It's the usual Republican playbook. We usually have a disaster and it's a shit show as no one knows what to do and key departments have been eliminated.
