There are a number of things I find problematic about this image, starting with the fact that we're all going to "feel pain" from a trade war — but even if it were only "some Americans," what a disgusting implication that your fellow countrypersons aren't worth any "worry" as long as their suffering doesn't reach you.
And then there is this: Am I seriously meant to believe that, after more than a year of being admonished that I must care deeply about the economic insecurity of rural white America which (so the garbage narrative goes) forced them to vote for a fucking bigot, now I'm supposed to not give a shit about a policy that will legitimately cause economic strife in the agriculture sector, among others?
COOL.
Any completely incoherent narrative that helps Donald Trump, I guess!
