Although, I'm pretty sure the Trump voters here will either not read it, or not understand it, or will simply blame it on the democrats, anyway.

Me as an European: I'm looking forward to those tariffs in the US. Finally, hardware prices will go down and hopefully hardware will be cheaper than in the US for the first time in centuries. I congratulate you to your choice. I hope you like the taste of that tariffs ... and please don't complain if Switch 2 is released and you will have to pay 60% more than the Europeans.

Hell will freeze before Nintendo or Sony will start to manufacture their consoles in the US which sort of makes those tariffs absolutely pointless and will just raise inflation, like I've described in this thread earlier, already.

Bad thing about Trump voters is: they are not only really bad in economics, but they also cannot or just want not to read and learn, which is what actually brought us all to the point were we are right now. I really hope you will enjoy Trump's presidency. I will certainly enjoy all the Memes it will produce. It's a high price to pay, but the Memes will surely be priceless and eternal :D

You brought this on yourselves, so please do not complain if you don't like it. Best you can hope for is getting some nice Trade deals, like TTIP would have been, but we all know how that went the last time ... if the Trump voters at least have a little clue about history.
Don't worry, they'll go up in price with or without Trump's tariffs. I too remember when I was told that digital games would become cheaper than physical, but the opposite happened. They went from 60 to 70, and blamed Covid, and other bs.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yeah guess who will never vote for that

The 2/3 of both houses who would have to approve such a measure before states can even begin to consider it

Even if Trump had 2/3 majority in both houses (he won't) they still wouldn't pass it - because it's against their own self interests

Polls leading up to election day had shown a tie, with the balance in the pivotal swing state of Pennsylvania. However, as of writing Kamala is set to lose all 3 Rust belt swing states.

Trump is currently set to win more EVs than the 2016 election, and perhaps the popular vote for the first time.

Trump has promised cabinet level positions to political allies with Musk set to head the department of government efficiency and RFK JR to lead efforts relating to healthcare. RFK JR has discussed banning vaccinations and pesticides.

The house and Senate are also likely to fall into Republican hands, giving their party control over all 3 branches of government - executive, legislative and judicial.

What do you think will be first on the agenda?

Depends:

Do you support

Mass deportation
Banning abortion
Banning transgender healthcare for minors
Election of a man who has been ruled a rapist in a court of law
Election of a man who tried to orchestrate a coup and stop the peaceful transition of power

Etc

If yes to above, you should be excited

It's insane how many people believe that it was a hoax. Really, who would risk something that dangerous? Who would ask a youngster to do so?

If it was a setup, democrats would have been all over it. Fact that they tried to bury the whole thing shows it was legit
The last 9 years have been one BlueAnon hoax after another. They continue with the hoaxes with the help of the corporate media because nobody holds them accountable when their hoaxes fall apart. Obama brought up the Charlottesville hoax again last week even though even far leftwing Snopes debunked it. It's bizarre to watch the left eat it up because we all know that they know it's been debunked, yet they still try to pass it off as truth. Such weird people.

I buy groceries from local farmers. Tariffs won't affect me and I continue to help my local economy.

It will be interesting to see if Trump does actually start with mass deportations of illegal immigrants. Country after country the the party in charge says "we'll deal with it" and then does nothing.

Wonder if Trump will be one to actually go through with it.

Maybe, but then again maybe the point is to make members of Congress vote against it so the public can see that.

They did rule he was a rapist and that he had to pay the victim a huge amount of money

And btw you should look into what Trump has said because he does want to ban all gender affirming care below 18 despite parents' opinions

Other countries are lauging at us.
No, for the first time in years, they're in awe the majority came through. Soon, this insane woke movement will die in the US, and shortly after, in the rest of the world. So thank you America.

Don't buy the lies everyone tells. If you are interested in politics, look up every claim made, especially those made by the left.

The post made here, about mass deportation, abortion bans and such, are all taken out if context to fit their needs.

Honestly, be glad Trump won. The world will be better off. This woke idea will die, economie will recover, wars will stop and crime will go down a lot

Switch 2 being $100 more is worth every penny to OWN THE LIBS

No they didn't. The case was about defamation. In the case the jury found a "preponderance of evidence" that there was sexual misconduct. Literally only an opinion of the jury. It doesn't mean shit, it isn't a criminal charge. And it literally doesn't even mean it actually happened. Just that they personally believe it was more *likely* to have happened than didn't. Completely irrelevant.

100% flat out lies right there. Time to lay off the meth, Cletus.
Actually when he was a president at 2016 he didn't start a new war like every other USA president does (including Republican ones like Bush Jr) and he improved the American economy that Obama fucked up really hard and later Biden fucked up again.

Still he lied about the fucking wall at Mexico-USA boards. Let's see if he makes it this time (which I doubt it).

LMFAO! You don't even know what those graphs are telling you or what the reasons for the numbers are. HAHAHAHAAHA!!!!
I guess you didn't even read a single thing from there didn't you? No worries i'll show you.

Eggs are double the price in 2019. Gas is around 50% to 75% more, Electricity is double the amount compared to trumps and biden's presidentcy. I can read a graph but it seems like you can't!
