My lease was up in May of 2025. As soon as he won, I knew prices (and availability) were going to be an issue because even the threat of tariffs, or god forbid another pandemic, would affect price and the supply chain. So I ended my lease early in late November, and I am sooooo glad I did.
But my MAGA ex, who I only see when I'm picking up our grandson when he has brief visits with him, noticed I had a new car and asked why. Weirdly, he knew my lease wasn't up for a while. I told him, calmly and not wanting to start trouble in front of my grandson,l that it's because I anticipate prices going up and availability being limited because of the way Trump threatens tariffs.
"He isn't going to do anything with tariffs. You're so alarmist." (Which he says in a chastising a child way. Always.)
When shit hit the fan regarding tariffs almost immediately, and the plan for today was revealed, I was ready to be belligerent when I saw him. I told grandson to wait in the car.
"Hey, Jim!" (I never call him by his name...lol) "It's a good thing I got my car early, huh? Maybe take what your guy says seriously this time around. You cultists are ignorant as fuck."
And I left. It felt so good.
