You think corporations and the elite .01% support tariffs? It obviously was very unpopular with that class of society. The policy was aimed to help the working class of the country.

Sounds like an enormous indictment of the Democrat party. Public views of their policies was so bad that the alternative you outlined was preferred.

It's obviously not that simple. If we follow your logic then we would expect that no previous President was able to enact tariffs. We obviously know that to be false as Presidents in the past have enacted a wide range of tariffs.

Funny you mention reality. I don't even consider Musk Republican, but let's assume that for the sake of argument. Latest generic congressional polling has Republicans leading by handful of points.

To be fair, I don't think most people would go to the police for sexual harassment. It's handled as a civil offense unless it rises to the level of sexual assault and becomes criminal.

or 3) Being a manufacturing business, it's bad for company culture. It further divides your executives and 'pencil pushers' as their own privileged above that of the grunts actually creating the products.

I only see that term used by the left as an insult when it is a perfectly reasonable take.

He's got a 54% approval rating as opposed to 38% disapproval. He's also running at 58% approval among independents. Finally, he is also polling double digits against any potential Democrat challenger. Pretty clear his policies have been popular with most Floridians.

The failure of those other platforms has nothing to do with free speech or lack there of. Twitter has a moat that you aren't going to be able to break by just trying to out Twitter them.

It's ironic that you seem to be a victim of misinformation yourself. Trump never came close to telling people to drink bleach. https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020...
