If Trump actually follows through on his plans, it will crash the US economy

20% tariffs would cause massive inflation and shortages of goods.

Deporting ten million people would create a labour shortage.

People who voted for him will need to hope that he was lying about his two signature policies.

As I understand it, those ten million people all arrived illegally during the presidency of Joe Biden, and prior to this people weren't complaining about the existence of a labour shortage, so why would one happen after their deportation?
Unless... there are unscrupulous employers who wish to pay their (illegal) employees peanuts, and don't care that one of the results of doing so is forcing down the wages of the average US worker who is already struggling with the current cost of living crisis.
The toffey-snots of Hollywood are rich enough to be able to afford to pay their maids and servants a sustainable wage, and it's about time they did so.

20% tariffs would cause massive inflation and shortages of goods.

I haven't looked into the details of this yet, but I can safely assume that not everything will have this tariff imposed upon it. I'm guessing mainly luxury electronic devices like iPhones, cars and laptops will, and the reason for this will be due to the fact that they're made in communist China, by slave labour no less. Trump is displaying his superior morality and care for basic human rights once again, and we can all be proud to have in our generation such a wonderful Glorious Grand Master of Ethics! 🥰
We truly are entering a new Golden Age of peace, freedom and prosperity! Hallelujah! ✝☦✡

@Bel6EQUJ5 They did not all arrive in the past four years. Some have lived in America for decades and have children born there. So there is the unedifying prospect of deporting American born children who have never been outside of America.

Trump could not give two hoots about human rights. He believes that any nation with whom America runs a trade deficit has in some way "cheated" and is fair game for economic warfare.
