    Is putting small companies out of business better for the country? No. Is putting this guy out of business better for the country? Maybe. 🤷🏻

        Rim importers are very important to our economy. Without them there are no jobs importing rims. These rim jobs are something not everyone is willing to do. We should praise those who are willing to perform these rim jobs.

    Trump thinks factories are magic. They aren’t things you can just conjure out of the ether by sacrificing a pile of cash - it takes hard work, thinking, and negotiation.

    Things that Trump is incapable of.

    Oh fuck that guy. He knew good and goddamn well those tariffs would hurt people. He just didn’t care because he thought they would not affect him. Cry that your cruelty backfired all you want, but I also love this for you. I hope he gets even more of what he voted for.

    The business owner posted a follow-up video Friday, replying to a comment that said “I love this for you,” criticizing the mocking response he was met with.

    “Yeah, I voted for Trump, absolutely. Did I know he was going to increase the tariffs? Yes, I did,” he said. “However, I thought that the infrastructure would be set up prior for small business to come back to America and manufacture in America. So to wish ill on someone and to love the fact that they’re suffering, to love the fact that their family is being negatively affected, because I didn’t vote the same way that you did is [expletive] up.”

    He went on to explain that he doesn’t judge people based on their politics and has friends across the political spectrum.

    “I’m sorry, a lot of you are [expletive] up … I hope you guys can be better people,” he concluded.

    But the comment section again wasn’t in the mood for sympathy.

    “I didn’t think the leopard would eat MY face,” wrote one person.

    “I’m starting to think this is rage bait because there is no way,” concluded someone else.

    Additionally, he ends his tik tok by saying, “[if he can’t get any help] it’s back to digging ditches again. Which I’m not scared to do, but it’s a little harder with a wife, two kids, and 45 years old.”

    lolol 💃🪩🕺

    The audacity of calling other people names: this bozo voted for a platform of hatred and this is what it gets you.

    It’s honestly so wild that these types thought Trump had some cohesive master plan that would all gel together nicely.

    Like he told you the whole time that tariffs was basically his whole plan on the economy, and you thought there might be something more to it? From the guy who can barely complete a sentence? Be for real.

    Where’s that “have the day you voted for” meme? It’s the only worthwhile response to these folks nowadays.

    “Damn that’s wild because I voted for you to have zero tariffs and a $50K tax break as a small business owner under Kamala,” reads the top comment under the video.

    One of the best comments because it’s true and he can’t dismiss it as people being mean or reveling in his pain, just stating reality.

    They could’ve simply asked him to spawn domestic production chains with an executive order, duh! Read Art Of The Deal, dumb dumbs.
