yeah, tariffs only work in like 1% of situations. The problem is that they put them on stuff America ever doesnβt make or make enough of. It would of at least been better if Heβd given time for these manufacturers to set up infrastructure so that they could actually supply there our country but nope
I've always maintained that rather than voter ID laws, we should have tests for literacy and numeracy. That would have kept the barefoot and toothless hillbillies from casting an uniformed and delusional vote for the Orange Turd and we would be in a much better place right now.
Not really. I mean the average Trump voter doesn't even know, and still doesn't know, what a tariff is. The ONLY think they know is...well, hold on...I'll think of something.
Oh, he HAS a reason. Itβs to extort more money from corps. βWant your product/s exempt? Dump $ into my offshore bank account.β
We can thank the law firms and universities that caved to him. It emboldened him to now go after businesses.
Itβs ALWAYS about HIS grift no matter who gets hurt. #ETTD
Trump wants America to fail. To crumble. Just as he's been manipulating the stock market to capitalize on when it dips. When people can't afford anything, guess what happens? They lose their homes and the rich swoop in to buy real estate cheap. He's heartless.
Y'all ready?!?!
Tomorrow is supposed to be the BIGGEST protest with over 1000 cities participating. If there is a city hall close to yours, there should be a protest going on
If you'd ever wondered what you would do during the Holocaust, civil rights movement, slavery.. you're doing it now
Bet heavy on the short. Manipulate a crash. Double your money. Roll your profits into buying the now cheap stocks to pay zero taxes on your short bet windfall. Repeal the tariffs. Stocks go back up. Repeat in 30-60 days.
Viral meme required, for each time the orange poppy pants tanks the market, FOX take's the stock ticker of the screen. As long as people watch FOX US is doomed to stupidity.
They're just taxes, nothing to see here. Corporations won't exploit it as a way to increase prices past the tariff rates in order to increase their profits....
In case anyone is wondering how Trump calculated the tariffs, here it is.
Spoiler alert: it can't get more stupid that it actually is. CBC Andrew Chang explains it, very simply. 1.3 million views.
The way they're claiming he's playing 4D chess but everyone else is just too dumb to understand apart from people who still haven't learned how a tariff works despite talking about them daily for nearly 6 months.
We could also add "They're only temporary" and "They're retaliatory because of the unfair trade deficit". But let's face it, the sycophants will do whatever mental gymnastics they have to in order to defend Trump. You don't negotiate with active resistors, you fire them.
I really, really hope this puts a bullet in the head of "Dems need to reach out to understand these people to get their votes".
Every Dem needs to say that Trump and Republicans lied about everything they promised. Lower grocery prices, no tips on taxes, and an economic golden age.
I was raised in a christian cult. Took me 15 years to fully deconstruct. No I'm not a fan of christianity. Reading the bible was what made me deconvert.
Well if your happy with your beliefs I am not going to tell you otherwise. I am sorry to hear if it was a traumatic experience. I know that not all Christian homes are great, but unfortunately that can be said with any group. I will say how ever that not ever Christian is alt-right. 1/2
There are many Christianβs who are not alt right and members of the alt right who are not Christian. I find you blaming there lack of critical thinking skills on there religious beliefs to be rather bigoted and based on prejudice which is opposite of what the world needs. Bigotry begets bigotry. 2/2
Goodbye Lying King!
According to you, YOU are no longer supreme!

So now we are done with you,
You f**king leech!
Given recent court rulings that Congress cannot generally delegate to executive branch agencies the power to regulate specific matters within the general scope of the delegation, how can the top executive have the power to set specific tariff levels on specific countries or specific imports?
Looks like Trump is planning to hand our country to Putin. While the US is planning to lay off 90,000 soldiers, Putin just drafted 160,000 soldiers. DOGE work is preparation. "We will take America without firing a shot." (Krushev)
Maybe we are handling this completely wrong. Can somebody tell Trump his tariffs are helping Greta Thunberg and thank him for his commitment in the battle against climate change.
Agreed. Unfortunately, MAGAt supporters and bots are beating sane people online. This is why we lost to Trump. I hope Dems realize where the battlefield really is.
The only thing that can convince such voters to get disappointed, is dropping of their quality of life really bad. It has to go beyond the point ' we can wait just a little more for our leader to save is'
If you remember them saying something different, it didn't happen. Why do you think you can trust own memory and intuition? These are very smart people.
The US just gained 220,000 jobs last month while Canada lost 33,000. SOURCE: CTV News.
So yeah, I'd like to see Americans experience some pain in this trade war. So far they haven't because other countries aren't really hitting back enough.
It boggles the mind "the ways that people bought into magical thinking to back an authoritarian-adjacent candidate and found ways to rationalize it because they thought it would benefit their bottom line, all without looking at what he was actually saying or had done in the past."
It's nice to have a ubiquitous state media ecosystem run by billionaires and a cultish following who will mindlessly parrot the party line no matter what.
I should reply to my financial manager with this after yesterday's client email admitting they had misread the intent of tariffs and now it's time to batten down the hatches because shit got real.

Hey magats-you happy yet?
MAGA has 2 excuses for Trump: 1) These rules won't apply to us. 2) He's doing it to "own the libs"/blackmail his partners.
No, he's doing it because he wants revenge, he wants to bully everyone, he wants to distract everyone from the last shit-storm he caused.

Have you said thank you once!
Very bad people in the administration put in tariffs
Trump didn't put in tariffs.
Biden put in tariffs.
So yeah, I'd like to see Americans experience some pain in this trade war. So far they haven't because other countries aren't really hitting back enough.

But some of the players (China for sure) have more cards than he does. The only question is how they will chose to play them.

They all sold Truth Social the day before tariffs.
And whatever else insider trading can predict.
"You don't need to buy anything. If the tariffs affect you, it's because you're buying stuff all the time"

After nine years of missed legal opportunities by others to politically kill him, the victim committed suicide by tariff.
