There is one constant with the Trump regime: they look at something - anything - and invariably wonder "How can we make people's lives more miserable". And they follow through. Every. Single. Time.

I literally can't think of a single good thing Trump or his henchmen have ever said or done - even involuntarily. It's all deliberate cruelty, and for no good reason that I can discern other than to get people used to living miserably and prepare them for harsher fascism to further entrench the regime.

Austerity is the reason. Work hard, save hard proles! The ones at the top will take their cut from the increased exports.
