Trump is going to lose. PERIOD!

24. One other reason he'll lose

His policies are unrealistic.

Besides all the fascist shit he wants to do, his platform has five planks in it.

First, he’s going to stop taxing things like tipped income and overtime pay.

Second, he’s going to cut taxes for high-income earners by a lot.

Third, he’s going to balance the federal budget.

Fourth, he’s going to seal the border airtight and deport anyone already here.

And fifth, he’s going to use tariffs to bring back American manufacturing.

It should be apparent that unless he plans to get rid of the Department of the Navy he is never going to both cut taxes and balance the budget…and Congress would go Ape Shit if he tried shutting down the Navy and the Marine Corps. Impeachment hearings for Trump and the troll he runs around with would surely follow and this time they’d stick.

Sealing the border airtight would not only involve building his wall but also stopping every vehicle, ship and airplane coming into this country, completely unloading it and inspecting it for human cargo. There is stuff you can’t do that with because it’s got to be handled with especial care so it won’t melt or explode, and it would cause a bottleneck at the border you wouldn’t believe. And…an East German Border Command in America would blow an even bigger hole in the budget than his tax plans already would.

The factory thing is also problematic because a lot of companies would go under before they got their factories up. I mean, this idiot has built hotels. He knows how long it takes to go from bare ground to overcharging guests. Factories are worse. And if no one’s buying your products because they can’t pay $2500 for what is now a $1250 item, you won’t have the money to build a factory.

It basically comes down to Trump just telling his audience what he thinks they want to hear whether those things are even possible. On the other hand, the things Harris wants to are at least slightly feasible.
