That orange POS has no idea of the impact that would have on the US economy. I worked in it for five decades until 2017. I'm sure all his buds at the mega corporations will let him in on the disaster it would foist on the economy.

That idiot will take us to 10% unemployment and clear cut all our forests.

CUT baby CUT!! Wheeeee
