This is what happens when a fraud runs the economy

 

This week, an outdoor gear company called KAVU sounded the alarm: Trump’s reckless tariffs could wipe out their entire business.    That’s 2,000 independent retailers on the brink. Thousands of jobs. Years of work. Gone.   All because Trump, a trust fund toddler playing strongman, wants to look tough on trade — even though he doesn’t understand the first damn thing about how it works.   His response to companies like KAVU and thousands of others ringing the alarm bell?    “Maybe the children will have 2 dolls instead of 30.” As if American families are just overprivileged brats who need a little austerity. As if sixty percent of the American public wasn’t already living paycheck to paycheck.    Let’s be clear: Donald Trump is a dirtbag who has failed at everything he’s ever touched.    He bankrupted casinos. He sold steaks out of a mail-order catalog. He torched a fake university, a fake charity, and a real democracy.   And he still managed to squander his slumlord daddy’s fortune every decade like clockwork — chasing scams, flopping on deals, and crying fraud when the check bounced.   Now he has the nerve to lecture the rest of us on sacrifice – while the only thing he’s ever built is bankruptcy court filings.   And right behind him, slapping MAGA bumper stickers on the wreckage of the American economy?    My opponent Richard Hudson — the beltway rat who’s spent his whole adult life climbing the Republican ladder without ever stepping foot in the real world.   From College Republican frat houses to congressional clubhouses — Hudson’s never had to fight for a paycheck, never missed a mortgage, never laid off a neighbor because the supply chain broke.   But he’s more than happy to bankroll a policy that will put your family out of work.   Enough of this.   Pitch in now. Let’s take down the billionaire bootlickers and build an economy that works for the people who actually make this country run. Sappers clear the way, Airborne all the way! Maj. Richard Ojeda (Ret.)
