Good, we’ll need the kids in the fields picking crops and the slaughterhouses processing meat when he kicks out all the migrants out.
I doubt he’ll actually kick that many immigrants out. Despite the rhetoric of the capitalist class, they actually want able-bodied immigrants, because they can exploit the hell out of their labor. The immigration rhetoric is largely kayfabe.

The word you are looking for is “slavery”.

I think it’s the same with the tariffs. In fact, I think it’s the same with everything he promises. He’ll do a token amount of each horrible thing before he gets bored of it or it becomes obviously impractical (see: wall building).
Mostly he’ll just make everything slightly worse and do a lot of corruption for him and his friends. Just a little light kleptocracy.
The tariffs might be real, whichever ones benefit his toadies, because you’re right that he is the swamp.
Light kleptocracy? I guess we can hope for the best, but Trmp says “no price is too high to deport illegals”.
I’ve worked the video game industry and I’ll point out a few things.
Trump was president before, and imposed this tariff before. Console and peripheral prices did not go up. There were specific meetings discussing this, and nobody raised prices.
Not that it necessarily will be the same thing this time around, but look at the current prices of things like PS+ and the PS Pro - before tariff increases - and realize if they want to increase prices on you they just will. They aren’t looking for an excuse.
Additiinally, the amount of shenanigans that transpires with the video game industry is crazy. The amount of PS4 consoles sold in Canada would mean every single household would have 3.5 consoles in it. Spoiler, they don’t, all the consoles were sold into the US at cheaper prices because of the dollar conversion rate. They Gray market is the step child nobody wants to talk about, but they love the added sales numbers. It will continue to exist and balance out the market.
I built a gaming PC during the Trump administration, I had to order the CPU from an ebay seller in Korea because there were none in North America and the GPU i took out of my father’s old Dell because there were none to be had at all retail.
I built a PC earlier this year and the case I wanted was out of stock everywhere but everything else was really in stock.
For everyone or just the US? Should I get a PS5 Pro and a Steam Deck now? Will the Switch 2 be out in time?
