It's more than a joke, dude. It's evidence of a deep-seated inferiority complex.

Adam Lynch reports:

Two years ago, voters at the Bawcomville, Louisiana “Redneck Christmas Parade” were hopeful about then-candidate Donald Trump campaigning to lower prices and fix the economy. CNN sent reporter Elle Reeve back to the town for an update on attitudes and got a mix of reactions. 

“To me, the tariffs that Trump started, I think is a joke,” said parade participant Tommy Wiltcher, joining a parade of four-wheelers adorned with rebel flags. “The American people are paying for it.” 

Reeves also said he did not approve of “the big ballroom up there and wanting to inlay it with all the gold fixtures,” and admits Trump lied about promising to bring prices down, saying “politicians promise the world when they want to get elected.” 

Nevertheless, Wiltcher said he still supports Trump.
