Why go this hard defending Matt Gaetz? Crimes or not, the dude is a fucking asshole.

It’s legal in Florida, where Trump voted.

Right, if all you eat is meat, wheat, corn syrup and potatoes, no problem!

It’s those darn liberal environmental and labor regulations

Why try that? It’s terribly regressive economic and taxation policy. It’s essentially a huge sales tax.

That’s the problem. Trump is a complete fucking idiot, so just because something is a terrible strategy doesn’t mean he won’t do it. Look what happened last time with the tariffs on Chinese goods and the small trade war he sparked that screwed over soy exports. Did Trump learn anything from that? Or his voters? Evidently not.

It sure would help if Americans weren’t generally ignorant about uh… tons of stuff and especially anything that involves other countries. All sorts of fruits and vegetables are imported - green beans, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, lettuce, berries, bananas, onions, cauliflower, broccoli, eggplant. And then at the same time, the Trump bros want to crack down on groups of people who make up a large portion of the domestic agricultural workforce? It’s difficult to see some conservative policies as intended to do anything other than just fuck people over and cause chaos.
