Here’s why Trump wields tariffs

llke he doesn’t care if

it generates inflation

It brings him elation!

‘Cause tariffs are a stealthy way

to make the middle class pay

for the huge tax breaks

the wealthy class then takes!

And if someone attacks his

vow to not raise taxes,

he’ll still say it’s true

while robbing me and you!

Most folks do not know the fact

that tariffs are a type of tax

That’s how Trump gets by

with lie after lie!

Let’s bring folks’ attention

to Trump’s real intention

the transfer of all wealth

with the use of stealth

from the massive working class

to the top few fat cats!

We must now prevent

their greedy intent!

STOP THE STEAL OF WORKING CLASS WEALTH!
