        False dichotomy. I’d rather he not played with tariffs causing me to spend/lose it in the first place.

            You like spending more and then being fortunate he’s returning the money to you? Do you also like giving the IRS a free loan and getting a big refund.

                  How is it toying with people’s lives? Is it my responsiblity to fund other people’s lifestyles? I support the tariffs.

                  Hey, you make plenty of money, start donating more of your money to the cause. You are totally free to do that. I won’t, but you can. Go do you, bro!

                  When/if you get your $2K, be sure to donate it and not spend any of it. You don’t want that blood money on your hands! lol

                    I’m going to assume you aren’t trolling. How is it toying with people’s lives? Because over half of the US population lives paycheck to paycheck. People that may not be able to afford the cost increases that these tarrifs have caused. It doesn’t matter if they get a refund months down the line. If you can’t afford food or rent do you think the store or the landlord is going to wait to get paid until you get a refund? No.

                    And why would I donate any refund I get from tarrif money? It was literally my money to begin with. I already donate. And actually, I should go donate again to my local food bank since his majesty decided the government shouldn’t help people who can’t afford food. I’m sure he still thinks he’s a good Christian.

                    Why exactly do you support these tarrifs? Because they sure as hell aren’t doing what his majesty claims they do.
