64. Dems, listen up. The magic word of 2026 is CLAWBACK

All elected Dems should race to the side of businesses who deserve to claw back any tariffs they have paid since Trump took office. Chaos? Hell yes. Let's make Trump's life miserable. We can be on the same side of the table with small businesses up to Amazon. Force Trump to take the anti-business position.

And that is just the first step. There are other clawbacks. We should demand that the taxpayers clawback the cost of the East Wing that Trump illegally destroyed. Claw back the money he has pocketed from Venezuelan oil. Claw back the money he is pocketing from the Gaza genocide and land grab.

Claw back the 747 he illegally accepted as an emolument.

Clawback is the word. Use it. One word sums up what everybody is feeling about this gangster.
