Vegetables are right now rotting in fields across America. People are afraid to show up to work in fear of being deported.
Think about this. If no one goes to work, no way to pay bills. No way to pay the bills means..... Well, I think you know what might be next, which will crush the economy.

And somehow, we think he's going to save on drugs? Yeah right..... NOT!!!!!

I can hear Trump now...... "Trust me".........." Count on it".

He’s already bragged about bringing in $100b via tariffs. That’s $100b paid by you, me, and the companies that bring us goods and services. Zero is paid by foreign nations. And he knows it, but it is intended to soften the budget blow due to tax breaks for billionaires.

It is CLASS THEFT, mostly from the Don't-Have-Much to the Already-Haves.
