    Good, we’ll need the kids in the fields picking crops and the slaughterhouses processing meat when he kicks out all the migrants out.

      I doubt he’ll actually kick that many immigrants out. Despite the rhetoric of the capitalist class, they actually want able-bodied immigrants, because they can exploit the hell out of their labor. The immigration rhetoric is largely kayfabe.

        I think it’s the same with the tariffs. In fact, I think it’s the same with everything he promises. He’ll do a token amount of each horrible thing before he gets bored of it or it becomes obviously impractical (see: wall building).

        Mostly he’ll just make everything slightly worse and do a lot of corruption for him and his friends. Just a little light kleptocracy.

          The tariffs might be real, whichever ones benefit his toadies, because you’re right that he is the swamp.

          Light kleptocracy? I guess we can hope for the best, but Trmp says “no price is too high to deport illegals”.

        The word you are looking for is “slavery”.
