More of my broken record: this is a damaging salvo unleashed in the hybrid war with russia, hurting western economies and allyships leeches support from at risk nations (like Ukraine, possibly any Nato response also Taiwan)
Trump has always been an idiot. The issue is that his idiocy hasn’t hurt all Americans.
For the last 40 days that has changed. Like the captain of the titanic deliberately ramming an iceberg. No one believes that he could be so stupid. And yet he continues to look for more icebergs to hit.
But you have to admit the media isn’t talking about signal gate, or due process violations or court order violations. His plan is working from his perspective.
Wait for the retaliation. And watch all these countries start trade agreements with each other. A smart idea would be if they all cancelled weapons orders. America will
never recover.
Congress can change this!
Call your Representatives and Senators.
Tell them no to excessive tariffs!

We are headed toward a 2nd Great Depression!
I wish liberals would shut up and really ponder the reality of the situation here. And stop trying to do whatever the hell this color-coded collection of meaninglessness and witty references to the last crisis is trying to do. Please ffs fight fire with fire, not this shit.
Oh come now - the stable genius is strategizing on the highest levels never seen before - he is playing an infinitely complex game of economic chess while we crawl around like mere insects. His genius is monumental, his stableness is unparalleled. His third and maybe a fourth term are assured.
Important to realize that Narcissistic Sociopaths see themselves as a kind of god. We used to joke that if you had two sociopaths on the same psych unit you had to make sure they both weren’t Jesus. They would not tolerate each other.
They love adulation, adoration, compliments, gifts, titles, submission, (you get it). They are always right… ALWAYS. They listen to only one… THEMSELVES. They need the oxygen of constant attention, the middle of all attention at all times. They see their family as extensions of themselves.
If they don’t get their way, they can burn the whole house down with them inside to show you who is boss.
Your comments are spot on. This old nurse still cannot understand why Trump isn’t medicated and on a psychiatric unit not president.
listening to TV pundits in the UK, it is noticeable how no one comments on the fact that Trump's speech was incoherent - just the ramblings of an insane old man reading off an autocue. The media continue to sane-wash him, even saying it may take some time to see benefits from the tariffs.
Did he do this so he could turnaround and get our economy back to where it was just so he can say he brought it back? Is this all because Biden's economy was the best in the world after COVID?
the problem with this plan is that there's no guarantee he can resuscitate the patient after stopping their heart like this. long term shifts are being contemplated
And I’m glad he did this with the world watching, at a well publicized signing ceremony, putting his Sharpie signature right on it, holding it up for all the cameras to see.
So when everything goes south, there’s gonna be no question.
He wants to bring people to their knees and make them beg for scraps and then bend them to his will...there must be a way to hasten his looming stroke.
All this sideshow BS , all the while Russell Vought and Heritage/The Council on National Policy are doing double time tearing down agencies and ripping away rights so they can seize power and control and turn the US into an Evangelical theocracy.
Rand Paul is an ass and I disagree with him on almost everything but he’s one of the few Republicans who’s at least consistent in his (mostly complete shit) worldview and backs it up with his votes instead of doing whatever Trump wants.
Yep but they’re so dumb they don’t realise that while they prosper, everyone who actually provides their lifestyle will be gone. There will be nothing left to buy, everything will be closed. They’ll have cash in the bank but that’s it
“ You can’t hide ..your lyin’ eyes..

Trump and Elon warned us and Project 2025 confirms what's going to continue to happen to America. We have to start fighting back in the streets, how we spend our money and calling our Representatives. Never let up.
The same reason someone can lose the popular vote and become president, and the senate can make up rules and change them to pack the Supreme Court.
The constitution is an obsolete POS full of loopholes.
Nothing will dissuade trump from being an ignorant, tempestuous, maniac. But some Republican senators & house members can be pressured into sanity, along with business leaders who have a feduciary responsibility and self-interest in living in a stable democracy, stable world, and stable economy!
2/3 of Americans either voted for him or just could not be bothered.
Please own the problem and clean your shit up.
And dump your best friend Putin whilst you are at it.
Reapply for admission to the civilised world when you are done.
Putin. Because Russia didn’t get tariffs it means Russia has an opportunity to gain stature as an exporter, hmm perhaps even through use of the Crimean peninsula…
What is glaringly obvious are the countries NOT on the Tariffs list, namely Russia, Belarus, Hungary, and North Korea. Did I miss any evil dictators? Is this the Don’s Dictator Discount?
It just feels like he wants the World to be on edge and that's terrifying. It's against the morals of what I thought the United States of America was striving for. Heartbreaking. 💔😔
The thing is , his voters and donors are also in the same economy he totally fcked up ...it's carpet bombing includin America and himself , speakin of old incompetent , ignorant and stupid ....heeeeeeres Donnie ..lol
Actually Chris the rest of the world (minus a few dictators) have been doing their level best to isolate their economies from the Manchurian Cantaloupe"s insanity. Sadly it means the US is very effectively isolated. I would imagine papa Putrid is overjoyed.
When you eventually get rid of the idiot you might want to examine how your gov and people let him happen, and perhaps put in place rules that stop an idiot taking over again.
Well, at least we can agree on tasteless but nonetheless, the facts of the matter is this tasteless event ruined her career. Even squatty potty didn’t want her.
Watching Rachel Maddow and seems we should be ripping Mike Johnson a new ass for putting the gun in trumps hand by using "the long day" bullshit. His tariffs could be stopped if Johnson allowed the vote for removal of trumps emergency powers.........
The "long day" should be more widely publicized. What percentage of Americans know about it? I'm sure it's a very small number. Democrats should educate the public by raising awareness about this and many other things.
Yep. One man was never meant to have this kind of unchecked and uncheckable power. So many people have had to roll over and surrender their proper rolls to get us here, and now he has enough power to try forcing anyone left standing in his way to get out or get in line
The down side is small the upside is huge. Remember the cost of goods in the last 4 yrs are up 30%. worst case senario a few things go up a few % to 10 %. Up side In time we are rolling baby!
The effect of the tariffs is a 6 trillion dollar tax that will have the same effect on American citizens as cutting Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare.
So now that it's affecting the bottom lines of companies it's bad? That's what yall mean by the economy. Homelessness didn't get better under Biden but "the economy soared" because stocks went up in price.
The world will never forgive this action taken by your president, and it was sick to hear them laugh about his comments. They want to extort the world, the world must now defend themselves. No more US alliance, sorry to all the good ppl
I know most Americans won’t care, but Australia imports $65 billion in US products since the FTA in 2005. We export around $15 billion to the US. We no longer make cars, so import $1.42 billion in US vehicles which are now going to cost us more. What terrible a trading partner we are.
🖕🏽Trump 🖕🏽
Even if trump said “April Fools” tomorrow and canceled every tariff, the damage is done. Global companies now see the US as an uncertain market, forcing changes that’ll raise costs of food, clothing, cars, homes, impacting all of us negatively for decades, tariffs or not.
Don't worry, it'll only be until stocks drop enough to make it worth him and his cronies buying them on the cheap, then he'll lift the tarrifs so the market bounces back and they can all get rich.
This is such a good analogy. I’m old enough to remember the early days of the HIV epidemic under Reagan. People who cared about others knew it would destroy so many lives and the White House under Reagan was making jokes about gay men.
I worked as an RN at what was then San Francisco General Hospital then. In the days when even gloves were not available for nurses to use.
Tell me about it. *stuck at least 3 times by needles used on AIDS patients* didn't get it. Needle boxes locked in med rooms Per Diems didn't have keys to.
Try being an RN working in Infection Control when Avian flu was a threat around 2006 and watching the trump shit show on Covid.
Protocols were laid out, there were warehouses of stuff I never realized ready to be mobilized. Plans were to lockdown hospitals. No one in or out. Persons on duty at...

His people backpedaled claiming he was joking — that was absolute bullshit as well.
Maybe the world.
For the last 40 days that has changed. Like the captain of the titanic deliberately ramming an iceberg. No one believes that he could be so stupid. And yet he continues to look for more icebergs to hit.
never recover.
China will be a MASSIVE winner here. They will slide in and leave us on the outs.
Breaking up global alliances. Causing as much harm as possible. As fast as they can. Just like DOGE.
Is there a crypto scheme involved in their plan? I am so suspicious of this.
