   Last thing I am worried about is Trump. I'm a retired white guy. Could care less if S.S. ended today or if the super rich pay zero Fed. taxes like he does, enough loopholes (AMAZON) in place already for that. Could care less what a president does within the LAW. Don't care if food and materials skyrocket. I have the skills and way tooo many tools/hardware/gadgets/guns/ammo/traps/ several million in fishing tackle/rods/reels and gardens/fruit trees/ wells that can easily have hand pumps installed/ close to 100 quality chainsaws/ all kind of lanterns/large cases of candles/fruit cellars/shelters, sucks being a hoarder and enough doe saved over the years so I'm good.
 
  Trump Loves to be Popular (remember his signature on the check you got? LOL!!) more than anything so when he makes a  move that is not received by the people well he can't handle it and changes his mind. 
 
 Going out to split some wood even though that's the last thing I need for a few years.
 
 Life is what you make it.

I thought Trump knows nothing about Mein Kempf 2025? Ironic that half of his cabinet choices are authors of it. Hypocritical or outright liar to get votes?

DeadGator401the potential tariffs are gonna cost the consumer more. 

 
of course they will.
I don't believe too many are delusional enough to not be aware of that reality.
 
Those of us not selfish and/or can see past the end our nose,  see a policy of bringing back manufacturing to our shores makes a us a stronger nation in many ways.
couple examples;
 
Less dependance on foreign countries for goods
(that alone helps insulate us from supply disruptions ala Covid) 
 
Well paying Jobs for folks not cut out to be bankers, code writers  and X-ray techs
Places like Pittsburgh, Youngstown, Cleveland and Detroit became chitholes when the "giant sucking sound" Ross warned us about happened.
 
I'm willing to pay extra to bring more manufacturing back. 
I firmly believe it's in our kids and grand kids interest

side note;
  
Trump's  labor secretary designate  is pro worker/pro union   
 
What to know about Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Trump's pick for labor secretary

to my liberal friends, the sky won't fall under a Trump administration.
and only few of you will be taken to the Project 25 gulags....er..um  re-education camps
 
Resistance is futile   
 
 

I’d say that on a list of sub-dog shiit quality cabinet picks, Chavez deremer is one of his better picks. As far as republicans go, her record with regard to actually supporting labor could be a lot worse.

But it’s extremely likely he’s just going surround himself with sycophants and yes men, so is she going to actually get to do anything other than simply impose trumps will? I’m skeptical, because every other signal from Trump and his cronies like Elon Musk has been decidedly anti-union and anti-labor.

For example if the Musk / Ramaswamey meme cabinet recommends the elimination of the NLRB and Trump decides to do it, then I don’t care who the secretary of labor is - The real agenda of the administration will be clear.

Since trump, and MAGA more broadly do not seem to have any clear ideology, it’s likely going to be “whatever Trump feels like doing” at any given time. The jury is still out on what the administration’s labor policies will actually look like in practice.

It will never not be funny the liberal crying on here...after all the puffed chests after 2020 election, the Mar A Lago raid, frivolous NY and GA cases. Really funny how both Terminal TDS'ers had to tell us they are well insulated from a 2nd Trump term, like this a flex?
 
Hell, I manage my own stock portfolio, a Roth IRA, both of my kids 529 accounts, buying precious metals... my mortgage is PMI and escrow free...guess I'm in finance too . I can chop plenty of wood too . I have managed to make it under rampant inflation under Joe, and if you think 7% was the real inflation number, then I have oceanfront property in Arizona you'll love. 
 
The other TDS'er hopes we all get what we voted for....me too! Strong borders, mass deportation of violent criminals, keeping men out of women's sports and bathrooms, trade pacts that tilt in the USA favors, and no wars. 
 
Maybe one deal they will realize these tariffs are a big negotiation chip at the table....who has more to lose in trade deals? Hmmm lets see....China whole economy is built on slave labor and exporting to the US....who is Mexico's and also Canada's biggest trade partner? Uncle Sam. Must be weird (yinz still using that word ) for you libs to have a President willing to lean in and apply leverage on others. The USA has the biggest hammer and its about time we put it back to work. 
 
May your political tears at the table soak into the dry turkey you are serving.

Trump won fair and square. I hope MAGAs get everything that they voted for.
