Do some gamers still support this lunatic? He's done so much damage to the industry.

Look at American farmers and ranchers. He’s another big city slickster who is completely out of touch with them and is destroying American agriculture with his tariffs and incompetent handling of the screwworm issue. They complain about him “betraying” them with meat imports, but I would bet money that they would vote for him again if they could. Most of them already voted for him three times despite the damage he did in his first term with the China trade war. 



Tariffs implemented like this is really just an extra tax. So he gets some much needed tax income while being able to claim that he’s not raising taxes. It’s a pretty good deal for him.

The key word being, HE gets some tax income. 



Endless reasons to increase price is everything that gaming needs right now.

Come on AI bros, up your game, find new ways to raise prices even more.

I want to tariff Trump's speeches.

Even if I just had a nickel per lie in his speeches, I'd be a millionaire now...
