The tariffs have generated less than $300 billion in new tax revenue, and other claimed investments don't come close to the president's tally.

At this rate, Trump will have completely eliminated the US national debt altogether, in just two years. He's obviously the greatest president in history, and people shouldn't make fun of him anymore. Right, guys?

It's more enjoyable to make fun of his voters who've gotten their just desserts anyway. Never thought I'd be okay partaking in schadenfreude, but that's what those assholes have pushed things to.

what has come has been spent many times over. ice has drones and military helicopters, a rediculous increase in personel and treats their vehicles as desposable. Then they throw gas canisters and shoot pepperballs like its confetti and trump just died.
