Trump's plan to use tariffs to force agricultural producers to move production to the United States, while simultaneously using the army to expel the workforce they need to do so is really some next-level strategic genius thinking.

There's been a lot of talk how #Trump would be wowing America with various theatrics after the #election2024 like 2016. But has anyone else noticed he's barely spoken in public since the election?
