Summary

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that Trump’s mass deportation policy could lead to labor shortages and higher grocery prices.

Experts say agriculture, construction, and healthcare will be hardest hit, with farm output losses estimated between $30 and $60 billion.

Deportations could cost the U.S. economy up to $88 billion annually.

AOC argued that immigrant labor is vital to economic stability, urging Congress to pursue immigration reform.

    Stop giving Trump a heads up on his mistakes

    Can’t get rid of him if we keep preventing his fuck ups for him

    Same thing happened his whole first term

    Pick an obvious huge blunder of his that isn’t going to cause global catastrophe for generations to come and just let it happen

    Don’t help it happen, just silently let it happen.

    The courts, congress, secret service, none of it will matter if 150+ million people rush the capital to dispose of this goon

      I think you’re overestimating how much he listens to or cares for what the public thinks. He surrounds himself with yes-men and people beaten into submission. As long as they’re going to keep telling him that his policies are making America great, he’ll keep doing both whatever dumb shit he thinks of and executing the plans Putin and the Project 2025 authors give him.

        Most of these idea aren’t even Trump’s, they come from deranged and corrupt special interest groups

        Trump also has a team that manages his image. Mostly because this is what Trump really cares about the most, vanity.

        If these two come into conflict, the image team will always win.

        Whatever makes Trump look good, that’s all he cares about.

        Letting him fuck up will force him into damage control and he will never admit being wrong which will only serve to dig himself a deeper hole
