A pair of Long Island Trump voters visited Ireland recently. I think they were in their late 60s / early 70s. It looks like the current administration will be downsizing or disbanding the organisation their daughter works at and she'll likely lose her job.

Some other changes made by this administration mean that several of their investments are losing value. So they're very unhappy about him being in power now, although apparently the rape thing and being an overall creep was never an issue.

Anyway, Id' read that people like this exist and never actually saw / heard them before. It's real folks. They don't seem particularly bright but it seems they've done well for themselves in life.

IMO, it's 50/50 if world can win the trade war US is setting on them. Extreme cowardice from world leading up to April 2, but people are boycotting US products, and shifting military procurement. Even if they limit counter tariffs, US sales should dive, and US will face higher prices. The 50/50 part is whether manufacturing moves out of US as a response. US automakers making wrong decision on Canada for instance is a fairly large market that would see them face same fate as Tesla. Boeing is sure to dive.

US generating hate is sure to make its economy contract. Just a matter of how much.
