23. If Chump ever mentioned anything about "tariffs" while he was campaigning

Thu Feb 5, 2026, 03:22 PM

... I'm pretty sure the MAGAs weren't listening. If they did hear him talk about tariffs, they had no understanding what it all meant. This was especially true in the red states.

Chump didn't campaign much in 2024 and it really died down after that incident in Butler, PA. (I'm not going to call it an attempted assassination because I don't believe it was.) The fact that he did so few campaign rallies looks like he knew that he was going to win and Elon Musk had already fixed the election for him.

The midwestern farm states weren't told how the tariffs were going to screw up the economy. And how it impacts all of THEM too. Would they have voted for him anyway? Probably.
