point out how Republicans policies are selectively targeted to funnel money to Trumps base while increasing the hardships of the rest of Americans.
Trump enriched the rich through tax cuts (again mostly white men); he shut down the government negatively affecting workers and contractors nationwide who it was said he assumed are mostly black and he is funneling billions for the fence/gate to a North Dakota firm
This is not to say that farmers or white men are not also impacted by tariffs. We all are impacted.
However the only relief is being funneled selectively.
The current bailout wont fix the root of the costs that you identify. Instead it amounts to little more than a campaign contribution.
And all the while devastation resulting from Republican policies continues affecting all Americans at the dinner table and elsewhere.
