Okay, let's figure this out.

In 2022, the US took in $5 trillion in tax receipts. In that same year, the US imported goods worth $4 trillion.

So, we're going to need 125% tariffs to make this work?

Oof.

More lies from the CheetoKKKlown:

"Numerous polls indicate the difference in support between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is well within the margin of error – the race is tied – in Nevada and other every other battleground state.

But in Las Vegas Thursday, Trump said “we are leading by a lot in Nevada,” in addition to all the other battleground states."

“Our country was probably... the wealthiest it ever was because it was a system of tariffs.” His love of the era has become so pronounced that it’s now a fixture of his stump speech, meant to defend the massive tariffs now central to the economic platform he’s promising in a second term. There’s just one problem: His comments are historically oblivious, evincing no awareness of the depression of the 1890s, whose severity was owed, in part, to the protectionist tariffs he praises

I’m endorsing Kamala Harris for President.

Most of you have already decided who to vote for, and you have your information. So I won’t waste time debating which of the candidates will be better for the economy (I agree with 23 Nobel laureates here), for healthcare, especially women, or for our international standing. I will talk about something that’s personal to me.

Unlike most of the voters, I lived in a dictatorship...

"The misinformation — spread online by former Trump administration national security adviser Michael Flynn and former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., among others — suggests that a Defense Department policy revision released in late September was timed to interfere with the Nov. 5 presidential election.

Use of force by federal troops on U.S. soil against U.S. civilians is against the law — except in cases of self-defense — and is outlined in the Posse Comitatus Act."

Oh Lord have His mercy! I just saw a clip of Kamala putting Brett Beir (sp) in his place for attempting to pull a fast one on her re Trumps threats to use the military.

Lord, the girl lay down the law!!!!
