Members stevenkesslar Posted December 5 Members Posted December 5 Most of the alcoholics pedophiles people like Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth that Trump has nominated to positions of power in Trump 2.0 were not in the same position in Trump 1.0. But a few are. And they have a track record of incompetence and failure. Why is Trump bringing them back? Because they kiss his ass. Peter Navarro went to jail for contempt of Congress due to his election fraud lies, to kiss Trump's ass. That his what qualifies him to be brought back. Not his proven and incompetent ability to destroy US factory jobs. Trump is promising to restore US manufacturing. Just like in 2017. Yet, with the help of Navarro, he destroyed hundreds of thousands of factory jobs. Total manufacturing jobs went from 12.4 million in January 2017 to 12.2 million in January 2021. Proven failure. Total manufacturing jobs went from 12.2 million in January 2021 to 12.9 million today. Proven success. Navarro's incompetence extended to raising prices on Americans. Almost all the cost of Trump 1.0's tariffs was borne by US consumers, according to the bipartisan US trade Commission. U.S. Trade Commission Admits Tariffs Raised Prices for American Consumers American companies and consumers "bore nearly the full cost of these tariffs because import prices increased at the same rate as the tariffs." Trump promised to lower prices. Navarro is an incompetent failure with a proven track record of raising prices during Trump 1.0. Honest conservatives argue that higher prices from tariffs are worth the short term pain. This is the same wing of the Billionaire Trump Party that argued decades ago that moving factory jobs to China so that corporations could make more money was a good idea. Having destroyed millions of factory jobs, the billionaires now want to raise prices. But they are at least being honest about it. Trump and Navarro have a track record of incompetence and failure. But not of telling the truth. At least shredding hundreds of thousands of factory jobs isn't as bad as incompetent failure Tom Homan getting tens of thousands of Americans killed by drug overdose thanks to his total failure to close the border to fentanyl on his watch. Trump's repeats, like job killer Navarro and cruel child tormenting Tom Homan, show where this train is headed: incompetence, failure, and more American death. JUMP ON BOARD! MAGA 2024 INCOMPETENCE FAILURE MORE AMERICAN DEATH Quote
