I can’t help but believe Trump understands how tariffs work but is feeding his low information grievance support base with red meat knowing they have no clue how tariffs work and will react as he wants them to.

Could be. I don't think he's smart enough to pretend to be stupid.

He such a skilled manipulator…I think he gets a huge orgasmic rush knowing he can lie, lie, lie and get his base to send him money, break laws and send him even more money., and get senators and members of congress to lick his boots.

Retired history/economics teacher here, living in a gated community, League of Women Voters member. My vote will be for democracy, and I'm parsing your list of suggestions to see how I can help others to do the same.

Thanks. My gated communities comment was a little gratuitous. I know many of the FC folks etc who are on the right side of all this. I'm just not going to focus my efforts on random voter registration drives there. If you decide to do anything fun or interesting (or both!) let me know.

We can still do it. All is not lost. Act today and register to vote. All good suggestions!

We live in a gated community here and there are plenty of us who can’t abide Trump. Trust me, we are voting for the Democrats. We have to for the sake of our future. All the Orange One can do is spew lie after lie after lie. Wake up folks! Do the right thing. Good suggestions from you to make us engage in volunteer efforts to defeat the convicted felon.

Good points. Sometimes when I paint with a broad brush the paint splashes on people who don't deserve it
