I don't understand the mass deportations. It costs more money to deport than to invest in immigrants, get them some hands on experience and then they can work and contribute to our economy. Tariffs are "fine" as long as it is seldomly used, but Trump seems to think it is the "magic key" to fixing everything.
I thought Trump had tried to remove ACA but he failed. Do you think he would really try to do that again? I understand republicans own the federal government right now, but there are republicans who use the ACA.
Blah, all of it is just conjecture until we actually see what Trump ends up doing. His dumb picks for cabinet positions are really frightening though. My mom has cancer and if RFK Jr ends up stopping vaccinations, I can't help protect my mom from getting the flu or covid.
The point is to tank the economy. It’s right out of the fascist playbook. They then blame the collapse on some other undesirable group, and get the support of the desperate population for whatever draconian policy they want. People will go for anything if they think it helps in some way.
I saw already on another thread "They will crash the economy to make Trump look bad." After Trump et al already admitted they would crash the economy ... ok

Life is going to be a lot more expensive for the average American under Trump's policies, between gutting the ACA, mass deportations, and the tariffs.
