I voted for Trump but I never thought he’d be so foolish to actually *checks notes* do the thing he spent months saying he’d do.

He thinks Bill Hawley and the Smoots is the band that did shake rattle & roll

....but, the rest of his policies I'm fully there with our president and his man-date (Elon)

I remember everyone having a giggle over Sarah Palin calling it the Hoot-Smalley Act in 2008, and now I'm thinking about how long ago that actually was, and I'm going to need a moment.

That post reads as AI generated, idk if that profile is even a real person

These are the guys who get paid $$$$$ to run the economy and advise investors. They go on driving us into ditches for no consequences to them. Impunity is a hell of a drug.

He's old enough that I assumed he heard of the Smoot-Hawley as news rather than as history.

strangernalps.bsky.social•4 days ago

Anyone? Anyone raised or lowered?

Can't believe Trump didn't consider the Floop-Crawlins Act of 1327, he has now crossed a line

philk10.bsky.social•4 days ago

and ignores the well documented history of Trump going bankrupt

I know it's not a big deal, but I constantly think about when Helene hit last year and he said "nobody had ever heard of a category 5 hurricane before" which is also what he said when Dorian was category 5 and hit America during his first administration. Dorian was the 4th cat 5 of his term.

He is also vague on what tariffs are.

Wait for his insights when Shitsla ponzi collapses. Since this ghoul was one of biggest hypecrapsters… Lmao fin guys are some of the stupidest, most limited people i have ever met,

the man has a vocabulary of around 1000 words and he can barely read.

groverxv.bsky.social•4 days ago

Exactly this.

tamslick.bsky.social•4 days ago

He hasn't given any evidence of even understanding what tariffs *are*.

This way that even putatively thoughtful people adopt “Trump as formless force for my personal preferences” thought is really astonishing to me. These people have the object permanence of flatworms.

i.amnot.social•4 days ago

In 2016, it was ridiculous, it was obvious what he was and what he was going to do, but whatever, he was definitely coloring outside the lines in a way that broke people's brains a little

But 2024? HE WAS ALREADY PRESIDENT ONCE, WE KNOW WHAT HE IS.

So, I think you're being rude to flatworms here

This isn’t even “hur hur GOP dumb” it’s wild! The motivated reasoning is so powerful

tft.io•4 days ago

They at least can eat another flatworm and “remember” how to complete a maze, true enough.

Maybe we should be turning the Masters of the Universe into a soup-like homogenate and feeding them to other folks

All of these people should be fired and rehired as front line retail and food service workers. Heh.

tamslick.bsky.social•4 days ago

Their fragile egos couldn't take it. They'd be crying in the walk-in before their first shift was up.

omfproductions.bsky.social•4 days ago

Walk in emotional break downs were an important part of my development from sad whiney mediocre white dude to trying to be better and self accepting mediocre white dude fwiw.

tamslick.bsky.social•4 days ago

If they had that sort of capacity for personal growth, though, we'd have seen evidence of it.

don't know Black and truly thought this was satire

If all these people claim now they voted for Trump because they didn’t believe he’d do the thing he said, what did they think he’d do that they voted for?

"Yes, I voted for Trump, but not because I'm stupid. Look, I know all about history and the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act. I'm not stupid. Please don't think I'm stupid."

np-complete.bsky.social•4 days ago

He thought Trump would DO SOME RESEARCH, or ENTERTAIN SOME DOUBTS ABOUT HIS OWN WISDOM??

What country does this person live in it? What *planet*?

rst.bsky.social•4 days ago

Trump has spent a good chunk of the last year saying that tariffs were the foundation of American prosperity in the 1890s (a period that was known to economic commentators of the time as "the long depression").
