Thanksgiving? I hate it!

Today, it's Thanksgiving and I've spent the last few days imploring my husband not to antagonize my Trump-loving family by talking about the fact that they didn't look into what tariffs were at the time, and now they might have to close their business. Wish me luck… FML

If they are an American based business selling American products they should have no problem succeeding with Trump as president.

Even if it’s 100% American, the stuff to build it probably was imported. House? American labor, imported wood. Fruits/vegetables? The equipment used to plant, water, harvest has imported materials in it. TV? Imported materials. Vehicles? Imported materials (my Ford has an engine from Mexico and transmission from Canada, seat covers from Vietnam, dipstick from Brazil, and tires made from Brazilian rubber). Clothes? Materials from Vietnam, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico. Very few things are 100% American products, as many things simply are not manufactured in the US and rely on parts from imports.

Also, when you say American labor, you have to think legal immigrants who work hard for their little money. House? Half the construction team will probably be deported because they look too brown. Food? There's already a shortage of good Latin American immigrants to cultivate, slaughter, and prepare said food, and white-bread Americans simply cannot do the job. Vehicles? If it's not assembled by Mexicans, it's assembled in Mexico. Clothes? Lots of Indians, Bengladeshi and Pakistani women work in the few American clothes factories that remain. Even the famous sidewalk panels for the blind that proudly display "Made in the USA" are mostly made by immigrants. And the saddest thing is lots of those legal immigrants voted Trump.

If you’re not Trumpists, why are your Trumpist relatives invited? Jeez, you political mingling families make me glad it’s just me and my girlfriend this year and neither of us was stupid or bigoted enough to vote for Trump.

That whole tariffs thing is a buncha BS the left wing media feeds you and you eat it right up because “Orange Man Hurt My Feelings” What you don’t realize is that “Orange Man” is gonna turn this economy around. He’s gonna reduce the cost of living and put more money in our pockets like we had 5 years ago. He’s a business man for a reason. You may not like what he says and how he acts but think about your pockets and our national security. Talk about that instead of the brainwashed liberal jargon y’all eat up.
