I heard that Texas may get really hard by Trump's tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Canada and Mexico are some of the biggest trading partners of Texas. The Texas oil industry may have layoffs because of the tariffs on Canada because a lot of the oil used in Texas comes from Canada. I heard prices at the pump may go up by 25 percent because of those tariffs. Texas cant refine its own oil thats produced there because the refineries are set up for heavy crude. Trump is going to hit Canadian and Mexican imports with a 25 percent tariff. Inflation could go through the roof yet again.

Voters in Texas are apparently not very bright.

That is true. Officeholders here aren't either. The only way you can win an election outside of Austin or Houston is to (a) run as a Republican, (b) run on a "God, Guns, and Gays" platform (though "gay" has been largely replaced with "trans"), (c) wh*re yourself to the Wilks brothers.

Trump doesn't give a s**t about working class people, especially not the ones he duped into voting for him.
