The loony left didn’t do this after Kirk died?

Using the “loony left” as your gold standard isn’t the win you seem to think it is.

It’s sad some of this obvious stuff has to be said

Yep. It’s a shame we cannot simply recognize tragedies for what they are anymore.

Still not answering

:lol: Your question, you answer it.

Nothing has increased for me with daily essentials cause of tariffs

How would you know?

And this….

How I calculated what?

---

You asked the question, but you can’t provide a method for answering it. Telling. You seem to be incapable of quantifying the question you tried to use as a “gotcha”.

I gave a specific example for Dove. Butcherbox has been 300 all year

Two whole products, one of which is almost exclusively domestically produced. This isn’t a method. Hell, it’s not even a good anecdote.

Not one single essential item for me has increased to where I would cry as much as frogtard

---

Your emotion isn’t an answer. Since you cannot provide an answer to your own question, I can only assume you’re going off emotional responses. Which isn’t proof of anything.

Then we cut a deal with China, saw our trade deficit double and the fiscal situation began a decline that really has not stopped since.

---

Our fiscal woes are caused by spending. Not trade deficits. If you take 1992 budget of ~$1.4T and index it to inflation, it's about $3.2T We took in north of $5.2Tr in taxes in 2025. If spending was the "same", we'd be running a $2.0T surplus, or we could have a 50% across the board tax cut.

EDIT: More accurate numbers.

Trade deficits :lol:

Don't harsh on 'em bro. Half of them think we have to pay back the trade deficit. :lol:
