I Need to Vent

Oh my god. I can't stand some of the people I work with. I live in a very republican area so I have to deal with some of their views no matter what. That's okay, I guess.
But this one kid I work with is just over the top pro-Trump. "Yeah I'm worried about the impending trade war with China much more than getting into a war with North Korea."
Okay great. But then he goes on to say that he's not at all wirried about the economic consequences of a trade war because it will bring more jobs to the US.
Wait what? What the f is he even talking about?
