Yep mob boss has set up a scheme where you pay him tribute and he may spare your industry/country. This is the biggest mob racket the world has ever seen.
Which is why the Senate needs to put a stop to this nonsense. This is a president acting as a mob boss to see who will bend the knee. Trump is psychotic petulant and purely transactional. There is a bipartisan consensus starting to form, take away his tariff powers now!
Its a shakedown!
He wants leaders to kiss his arse, pretend to negotiate a better deal for the US and then find a way to pay him off.
(Look for donations to his Presidential Library fund or some other pseudo legit way to get a bribe to him)
I suspect a liberal amount of bootlicking and a generous donation to the "presidential library" will get you an exemption and a competitive advantage against your competitors.
Tariffs MUST be approved by Congress
His EO'S are not LAWS
Congress is on recess
People chill out. We have a week to stop these
Nothing is happening yet
Even with the senate voting down, Johnson in the House won’t bring it to a vote.
At least people know the senators who support the
#TrumpTariffTax.
Primary every senator who supported.
BREAKING: Karoline Leavitt, aka “Blonde Baghdad Bob”, announced three specific goods that “Mar-a-Lago acquaintances” have convinced Trump to exclude from tariffs: precision dentures from Hungary, solid gold putters from South Africa, and diamond-encrusted adult diapers from Russia.
Yep,China because of pres musk will be the first to get deals, remember more than half of musky dealings, profits are from Chinese made and used products
I’m pretty sure he’s pissed off so many people, it’s unlikely any will bow to the quid pro quo he puts on the table. He’ll be forced to rescind the tariffs because Big Money won’t tolerate it for long.
The fact that people chose to put their economic well being in the hands of such an ignorant man is shocking. He rambled on about the word “we hardly use anymore”—groceries. He really hasn’t a clue.
That IS the point of the tariffs. Shitler’s offshore bank account will fill up with companies paying him to remove them. BLAME the law firms and the universities that FAILED to stand up. It’s BECAUSE they didn’t that he’s now extorting everyone. FFS. Read @timothysnyder.bsky.social book! #DoNotObey
My eyes are on Vietnam because my wife has business interests there. Trump Org is already wanting to purchase real estate for hotels, casinos, and golf courses. The Vietnamese government has already expressed their desire to acquiesce to his demands.
Yes, DJT started the largest game of Come-kiss-my-ass in history. I do not think he could fathom the amount of people who will tell him to fuck off. The world is tired of us.
Shockingly, Antarctic penguins retaliate against Trump’s tariffs by forming the Waddle Trade Alliance. Their demands? Free fish, no walls of ice, and a total ban on red ties. “We’re hitting back HARD,” said a spokesperson, before sliding away on his belly. Trump calls them "flightless freeloaders"!
Farmers & Grassley will be doing some clambering for exemptions. They don’t deserve exemptions because they voted for trump. I would say the same to the pearl clutcher in Maine. They simply cannot be allowed to have it both ways while the middle class gets wiped out by the very ass they voted for.
He’ll soon have control over every aspect of our lives, except us. Rise up, America! We are many. They are few. Saturday is April 5. Let’s make it OUR liberation day.
That's so true. It's a game he's playing wanting them to beg him. He's trying to keep our eyes off of the fact that he's not living up to his campaign speeches. America isn't great now. Not for the least of us.
i can't believe it's not being put all over every news station, and shouted at him at every press event, that Russia was conspicuously absent from the list of tariffs being introduced... they should be hammering him with this, i mean it was so obvious even before that he was a russian asset, now...
How many times today are you going to post "look at what I said in the past?" Are you needy for positive reinforcement or something? Where are your actual solutions? Yea, block me, I don't care. You guys at Medias are all about outrage porn and getting clicks. You're not actually helping.
Out of hundreds of countries only ruzzia got the waiver. Despite the billions in trade where US imports 3bn from the terrorists yet only sells 500m to the terrorists. That is a massive funding of terrorism yet no tariff? Despite them refusing Trump's deal? Trump is looking like a clown right now.
The real story this far into the social-media game is who massive accounts #AbleWall by never using #AltText, thereby excluding the visually-impaired from a truly #AccessibleSky.
So I did this one for you. Get with the game, Ron.
And, he's using tariffs (TAXES)...OUR MONEY
--> to give to his cronies (congress CR gives him the power)
--> to legally steal from the poor (SCOTUS ruling)
Tik Toc showed the way followed by tech companies but $ from other nations is an Emolument, prohibited by the Constitution so not immune by the SJC ruling.Finland did this paying for their Pres to stay @ MAL = $ into Trump pocket. Someone sue for remedy=divest self & family from business & bitcoin
Sane washing this as greed is not helpful. This is straight-up domestic terrorism, there is no play here except to dismantle U.S., put the free world in chaos, while the authoritarian axis leaders conspire to overturn current world order. The U.S. has joined the axis.
I'm waiting for the Red, White and Blue Bannonette Knee Pads to return to the White House gift shop. They were a huge seller during the last Trump Admin.
All of this is done to benefit Putin & Russia, IMHO. Crashing the world's best economy as well as most of the others, creating enemies out of former allies, and dividing the United States into "Us versus Them" ideologies. Who else benefits from these tactics?
Yep! That's going to be the play. Anyone who wants to buy their way out of the tariffs just has to make a deal. Not anything that would benefit our country. It will be to benefit himself. The super-grift opportunity of a lifetime.

Trump may collect tariffs then suddenly send everyone in the U.S. a check for $2,500 and say “see, tariffs work”. None of the rubes will understand they paid $6,000 into the fund that came from and hail him as a hero anyway. Time to start those expectations and define the grift just in case.
"On April 2, 2025, President Donald Trump announced a new trade policy imposing a 10% baseline tariff on imports from most countries, with higher "reciprocal tariffs" on certain nations. Notably, Russia and Belarus were excluded from these new tariffs."
He is 💯 going to monazite the carve out requests. That has a dual purpose. Line his pockets and make really rich guys bow down and lick his boots. It’s like authoritarian Christmas for him
Isn’t that a central point of all of this? Let the patronage begin, lining the pockets of the Orange Felon. But it won’t help. If you’re granted an exemption, to whom are you going to sell if everyone else is suffering?

And yesterday the Senate voted DOWN his tariff plan
At least people know the senators who support the
#TrumpTariffTax.
Primary every senator who supported.
It begs the question - did Putin order Trump to tariff the rest of the world?
Harvard, Columbia, Skadden, Tesla...
There are no excuses. This is the moment.
It’s raining out today.
I don’t wanna be bloom scrolling all day …..
Like everything else, he's too stupid to know his extortion will still backfire.
Absolute Incompetent Administration.
Absolutely no aAccountability.
Absolute Worthless Twats.

Sorry dude
Unfortunately, I think he is more inclined to appear tough on trade rather than allow any wiggle room.
The only fighters appear to be the Canadians under Carney.

This explains why the Secretary of the Treasury (incredibly) wasn't in the loop.
Bessent is reduced to telling supplicants to bring their bags of cash to the negotiating table and not make trouble for the gangster.
Interesting.
You need to be on both social media and mainstream media Ron!
Take over Maddow’s spot
