--not to mention their employees. I could not disagree with you, this woman on the Reddit video and anyone else MORE on this. Sure, I want Trump's policies to boomerang on him--but his tariffs will already do that. I don't want people losing their housing, not able to feed their families and adding to a homeless situation that Trump will NEVER address. An explosion of unemployment will do just that.

Sorry, just NO. I find it angering that this is being celebrated. Send a message. Don't DESTROY.
