Pro-Trump owner shocked as grocery store that thrived for 43 years goes bankrupt under his tariffs and policies (wtfdetective.blog)

Pro-Trump owner shocked as grocery store that thrived for 43 years goes bankrupt under his tariffs and policies Wong, who supported Trump in the last election, said he was swayed by campaign promises to reduce grocery costs. But now, as his business struggles to stay afloat, he admits the reality looks very different. Grocery inflation is at a two-year high, and prices continue to climb with no end in sight.

Wong told NPR that virtually all of his products have increased in price since early this year. For instance, a box of mabo tofu sauce — a popular Sichuan dish — has gone from $2.75 last year to $3.95 at the beginning of this year. “We just had this shipment come in yesterday — it’s $5. We cannot catch up. Every shipment coming in, we have to put a new price on it,” Wong said.

It would be possible no matter who was president because the "immigration crisis" is fully fabricated by the media.

True, but when Dubya started kidnapping (I mean "renditioning" people) and torturing them, and then Obama did those things AND put kids in cages and concocted a kill list, while knowingly drone bombing an American citizen, and then Donald did all those things and tried to ban Muslims, which were then followed up by Biden doing all those things AND making sure a child genocide and a manufactured famine got full US support....

...it's easy to see how both sides have made all this possible.

It's a little laughable watching all the hand wringing about Hegseth's war crimes. (though a little satisfying)

Hate to break it to you, but that was Trump.

While Obama’s legacy on immigration was mixed and not exactly great, his administration did make a point to keep families together and not isolate children from their relatives.

You and I must have lived through a very different Obama era.

And Obama. Obama also did ~~state kidnappings~~ "family separations". The only difference was that Donald didn't try to intellectualize around it and was very blatant about what he was doing, whereas Obama tried to put lipstick on the pig in the mold of a "compassionate conservative" like Dubya.

While Obama’s legacy on immigration was mixed and not exactly great

Always appreciate how euphemistically people speak about Obama, as if his policies didn't provide a normalization for greater fascist abuses under Donald and Biden.

Are you actually repeating Trump talking points while also being angry about it?

There was nothing euphemistic about my previous comment. I linked details on Obama’s record on immigration policy. He didn’t all keep his promises on immigration and his track record on it was mediocre and with a high number of deportations. That’s not the same thing as having kids in cages (again, that was Trump term 1), or anything like the atrocities we’re seeing today from ICE’s thugs.

Please, source your statements if you’re going to be this wrongly argumentative about it. Otherwise this isn’t a discussion worth continuing.

Again, with the euphemistic language.

Let's call him what he was: a lying, corrupt son of a bitch.
