LIFE IS GETTING MORE EXPENSIVE UNDER TRUMP

REPUBLICANS ARE STANDING UP TO TRUMP

By: Derek Varsalona





When I used to think of Republicans, I would normally think of the party that makes life less expensive and more affordable for people to live.  When I usually think of Democrats, I usually think of the welfare state and government subsidies to live on.  Today, these issues are outdated and far from the truth.  As I stated in my last post, it is President Trump who is making life more expensive to live.


The Republicans are right to revolt against President Trump's tariffs on the world.  A tariff is nothing more than a tax on the poor, as the rich people can survive, and the poor people are left eating crumbs and starving.  With the social security net of food stamps being cut, I to,o am feeling the pain of being penny-pinching, and it is not a welcome sight.  In the end, President Trump caused this disaster, not the Democrats.


The Republicans are right to revolt against President Trump's tariffs.  The tariffs are nothing more than a tax on the poor.  The country club Republicans and Wall Street Democrats can afford these tariffs.   Just like the late comedian mastermind George Carlin used to say, that politics is a big club and you and I, my friend, are not in the big club.  It is President Trump who has made life more expensive with tariffs, not the Democrats.

I agree with President Trump that America has a trade surplus on the world stage.  When I elected President Trump, I thought that a businessman was better equipped to run a country than a career politician.  I also did not like Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.  Still to this day, I believe that if Hillary left her husband, Bill Clinton, after the Monica Lewinsky scandal, she would be President today.  To me, that was a lack of judgment.  If you can't even dump a man who cheats on you for a run-of-the-mill White House intern like Monica Lewinsky, you have no business running the business and affairs of the United States.


The Republicans are right to revolt.  It goes against their branding as a public relations firm of affordability.  President Trump has a public relations nightmare on his hands that he himself has created.  A Tariff is nothing more than a tax on the poor, as they feel the pain of the tariff trickle down to the cost of living.  Everything is going to go up due to tariffs, from oil prices to groceries to the overall cost of living in America.


Thanks for nothing, President Trump.  As always, comments accepted.
