I’ve not heard anyone tie Trump’s tariff mania to corruption. Am I missing what’s being said, is there some other reason it’s not being said, or am I completely wrong to think the tariffs are intended to line republican pockets? If Trumpism wins I fear the return of a Conkling type senate.

Without birthright citizenship there is no freedom. No civil rights. No democracy.
