The media accepting as a fact that Trump is "negotiating"

Regarding the tariffs situation is ridiculous. Trump has no goals that he would negotiate for. He just applied tariffs all over the board.
The white house is gaslighting us by pretending they are in negotiations with dozens of countries. Etc..

Of course, I have yet to hear a journalist ask the question about what is it that they would be negotiating for.

The same billionaire class installed Trump because they got sick of bleeding the middle class little by little and he promised to take it all from us in one giant heist.

I truly feel that the billionaire class looked at what Biden was doing for working people and made a decision that what they were seeing was totally unacceptable. People getting to WFH, people telling their jobs to shove it because they could make more elsewhere. People finally getting a leg up and demanding more and getting it. The entire caste system the billionaire class was pusruing was under threat. So they got together, and decided they'd install Trump who would both let them steal and take everything from working people.

Their ideal is to get rid of those pesky things called weekends, retirement, and security. Their desired system works best for them when workers are terrified, will work for next to nothing and are so afraid they never ask for more. A system where you work until you drop dead, after all what use to the rich are retired people?

"How much does it cost to stop the pain?"

"How much ya got?"
