New slogan for meme wars: TrumPain
... or if you prefer, tRumPain, but the former tag is more immediately understandable than a DU foible.
"TrumPain" with a pic of high egg prices, high lumber prices
"TrumPain" with a graphic of unemployment rates
... inflation rates
... food bank / soup kitchen pics
TrumPain is going come quickly because tariff effects on prices are almost immediate.
tRumPain is going to be long lasting because tRump is stubborn, and repatriating manufacturing takes years, even in the best cases.
TrumPain also includes mass deportations leading to rotting crops and supply chain disruptions and more unemployment just from that but especially when combined with a global economic slowdown due to contracting international trade.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
