“Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits,” he said. “It’s one of the reasons I can offer, if Republicans win the House and the Senate, $5,000 to every adult. And we can do it and the Democrats can’t, because the Democrats don’t have any income, and they’re gonna drive us in[to] a depression. They won’t have any money.”

Bitch you already promised us a tariff refund check.

    Oh we have us an optimist here. We aren’t even lucky enough to have a president Dwayne Elizando Mountain Dew Camacho.

    Idiocracy would be a step up. We are in a full-on kakistocracy.

        Yep that’s why I say that I would much rather be in an idiocracy situation right now. It was truly an optimistic look at the future. If you look back now.
