Btw, if you saw that it said "former" President Trump, that was a typo because I copied and pasted his name from my notes, but I fixed it immediately so disregard!! (I keep making this mistake because I'm dumb and copy from my notes lol)

The good news is this guy takes notes! #AaronParnas it’s good to see you. You were one of the first authors I came across on #Substack. There is so much good Substack I’m finding it hard to get to my original faves. I remember this happening when I first fell in love with #YouTube 💜 I’ll narrow things down and get back here, tho. Take care of yourself. Get rest and stay hydrated!

Because trump only appointed musk as a "special government employee", that only gives musk 130 days out of a 365 day year. musk has said he'll have cut $1T from federal spending, but so far, all his numbers have been bogus and have been proven wrong.

Elon Musk can bite me hard. He's a huge cause of Trump and shall not be forgiven.

As for China, I was there a few summers ago and remember asking people why they didn't care to learn English (showing my full American whiteness). They told me China is big enough with enough opportunity they had no need.

China is a behemoth and shall not be trifled with. Good luck to Trump with his trade war against them. It can only get worse, for him.

I don’t get it, muskrat said there was “going to be some pain.”

Why is he so upset?

When *other people* have pain it’s okay, but when *he* has pain it’s a problem 🙄 It’s just another example for the “He can dish it out but he can’t take it file. Is it 2028 yet?

Disagree on jobs returning to America. Manufacturing jobs will not come back to America, not in great numbers. Americans won’t take those jobs reason Springfield bought in the ‘geese eating’ ppl. Joking. Anyway, if manufacturing came back, prices would clearly increase since wages would have to be much higher & we’re not set up for that. Time that wld take to set up, felon wld be long dead of old age. Anyway, manufacturing jobs are not coming back. Tariffs are his way to crash market to buy cheap & payback on Americans for losing 2020 election

Leslie Royce's avatar

I have seen multiple economists speak on this stating the same things. Tariffs aren't going to bring manufacturing back to the US. Now had he offered some incentives to build manufacturing facilities here and manufacture here that might be a different story.

Lots of manufacturing jobs am overseas use robots . I saw people saying they can’t even find people to work in their factories now . My thought it they will use kids and us citizens will be forced to do it . They are trying to defund public schools that don’t end diversity and critical race theory . If those kids can afford private school and they want to loosen the child labor laws starting at 14 and up it would likely be kids ..

Won’t happen. Remember only gas 4 yrs. Factories take years to construct. Plus the pollution & unhealthy conditions. If they bring those back & automate it what’s the gain? Just not coming back. He has his agenda, not really about jobs. He doesn’t care about ppl

That's the likely outcome. Education drop outs go to child labor or military at 18. you don't have to pay benefits to child labor.

CRT is a college level taught course. It isn't for grade school or high schools. Colleges only. trump is removing all black history from everywhere. Black names are stripped from historical sections at Arlington Cemetery. Latest I heard, was that he wanted to remove slavery from the Smithsonian.

No, trump isn't a racist. Give me a fucking break.
