      I only specifically know about copper mining because I went to school in Arizona and had a required Arizona history class. Copper is a big deal here.

      Also people should read up on the Bisbee Deportation. It’s not talked about a lot outside leftist nerds in Arizona. ~85% of (copper) miners went on a wobbly lead strike in Bisbee, the sheriff deputized 2000 people and they went on a rampage arresting every striking miner and stealing shit from all the stores. They then corralled all the miners at a baseball field and watched over them with a car mounted machine gun until they forced everyone into cattle cars and dropped them off in the middle of nowhere New Mexico.

      Many, many people tell me they just like seeing big numbers. It’s true. It’s true. I’m going to make bigger and bigger big numbers. Biggest tariff numbers. Nobody bigger than Trump.

      Mr. President, who said they ‘just like seeing big numbers’?

      Many, many people. The internet. TheSpectreOfGay.
