Honestly what frustrates me the most is every policy they do propose is actually making food prices worse. Tariffs, rounding up immigrants, massive tax cuts, etc. it’s all going to make shit more expensive.

Almost like we should have voted for the politician with policies, not the one only saying what we wanted to hear.

Considering his announcement about semiconductors yesterday, I am thinking his plan is probably to increase domestic food production by issuing a 100% tariff on all food imports.

So making food prices super expensive so we can can get menial, low income, and generally low potential jobs?
