The real irony in Trump's presidency is that the corporate-owned Democrats who hate him so much were all taking bribes from businesses to drive down wages by importing illegals from Mexico ("Sanctuary!") and exporting jobs to China ("Free trade!").
Businesses thought that lower wages was all they needed to be more profitable.
But they were WRONG.
It turns out that enforcing immigration law and bringing back manufacturing from China are way more profitable than the reverse, for everyone.
When working class Americans get more income because they don't have to compete with illegals and because their manufacturing jobs came back, they spend that increased income in the US. (Mexicans in the US send their income to Mexico, and the Chinese just keep their income in China.)
Trickle down fails, because they rich just throw any more money they get into the basement on the pile of cash they already have. The economy stagnates.
But trickle up works, because the working class spends the income, then businesses benefit, and profits go up.
The whole business strategy of bribing Democrats to fuck over poor citizens was not only immoral, it wasn't even profitable! When the poor get poorer, they spend less, and businesses themselves also suffer.
Trump, bless his bizarre orange soul, has shown us the right way way to Make America Great Again, by looking after our own citizens first. Business profits follow once our working class has jobs again. The economy is on an epic roll due to Trump now. May it continue!
