Every single Dem should be asking how long will the transition period last? The American people deserve to know how long we need to endure the pain. Make Republicans promise something we know they can’t deliver.
Yes, a transition from the middle class being able to afford to buy necessities, to the billionaire robber baron class being the only ones able to purchase anything (after pocketing all of our tax dollars in their billionaire welfare program while everyone else suffers).
The Putin/Trump/Musk/GOP Kakistocracy has NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE DOING. All of Trump's cronies and sycophants just talk out of both sides of their mouths with forked tongues, parroting whatever BS big lies Putin owned traitor Trump spews, or whatever propaganda Putin's trolls & RW Media concoct DAILY!
Yes. Buffet said a few days ago that we all just got taxed another 25%. Can we please impeach him before we are in another Great Depression? Keep bringing articles of impeachment until they stick!! Maybe democrats should introduce impeachment tonight at the State of the Union????
What does he mean "China will eat the tariff, & prices won't go up"? That's not how tariffs work & we know it. The tariffs cost China NOTHING(except reduced business after awhile). They are charged to the US importer and that extra 20% makes the Chinese product 20% more expensive for Americans.
I have a feeling that the demand for bullshit-to-English translators and interpreters is going to skyrocket in inverse proportion to the markets crashing.
My hair is going through a "transition period". That description should not apply to the US economy, social norms, and the promises we've made to other nations.
i heard it was zero banks
and they hoard all the good syrup
the maple syrup from the trees
and they send enough drugs across the border
to kill ten million people
it’s probably more like twenty million
but we’ll fix that when they’re a state
believe me
And Russia will go full communist and no longer have a general secretary and politburo. They just have to get the government a little more organized first.
🤷♂️🙄🤮
Spoken very glibly-and callously-by a guy worth hundreds of millions of dollars to Americans-many who don’t even have $1000 in savings.
The cruelty is always their point.
Does he support Trump's theory of magic factories that open over night?
Maybe fairies just carry the manufacturers from other countries to the US... 🙄
#TrumpIsAChump
USA is showing the world what a piece of shit it is!
Stop pretending this isn't true normal US people!
You got a chance tonight to stand up in front of the white house and show the world your in the fight...will you?
Right. The transition of all of our money into Musk's and Trump's and Bezos's pockets. Then prices will crater because no one will have any money to buy anything. Bessent is a reverse Robin Hood bandit.
Prices will go up, and stay up. Republicans don't give a fuck about you or your family, they want prices to be as unsustainable as possible to enhance their billionaire bros.
Transitioning to what? It's not like the tariffs are in place for a few days. The only transition is from a healthy economy in October 2024 to a recession or worse. Way to lead GOP.
Apparently they can only say yes to Krasnov...and the word salad is to sound intelligent to MAGAmorons because if they don't understand that must mean the talking head is smart. Or is it "S M R T"?
He (with Elon) during his campaign said they’d crash the stock market and that they’d cause discomfort and difficulties for the American household — and you brain dead peons voted for it because you were focused more on voting based on your hatred toward other people than any love for our country.
So is somebody going to ask these assholes WHY it is necessary to destroy the economy and the government?
What magical outcome do they think will happen?
Rs - including Bessent - never mentioned a 'transition period' before the election. I believe Bessent is so stupid he didn't realize that tariffs would lead to inflation.
Coupled with the horrific & pointless government downsizing, it could even lead to stagflation.
Yes...for at least 4 years. Canada will now punch above its weight class. 🇨🇦🇨🇦 You poked the bear, and now you will see how that will work out. Buy Canadian and travel anywhere but there.
Why would the "eat the tariffs"? The one thing about China's very, ah, disciplined capitalism is that the state can and will order businesses to operate in a specific way depending on the government's long term trade strategy.
So a for profit industry is just going to absorb a 25% hit and prices will NOT go up… because… they’re known for not caring about margins and profits? WTF did he just say?
Yeah, transition to poverty. Fuck these gaslighting brainwashed assholes. We need to get these Trump asskissers out of power as quick as possible. They're ruining the country.
What are we transitioning into? When you depress demand by increasing costs, you find a new equilibrium with fewer things. So that's what you wanted to transition to America?
Soft selling trump's winning strategy of tariffs, inflation, breaking federal services, and less safety and security. What a pussy. Go hard, man, go hard af.
There is going to be a transition period. Thats the soft way of saying, "It will be terribly inflationary, the American public and consumer will suffer deeply, many businesses will fail, the stock market will plunge, and all of the tariff costs will be passed on to the consumer." Is that clear?
These Fox clowns need to fuck right off with their brain-dead commentary designed to run people down false dead-end rabbit holes. None of what is happening is happening the way they describe it.
What exactly is a “transitional period”? Does he expect us to believe that after this so-called “transitional period” that prices will go back down? We’re not idiots.
Someone needs to ask Bessent how long this transition will take. To think he and the functionally illiterate Trump can reorder an international trade system that's developed over the past 40 years within 1 is just stoopid. The pitchforks will bring it to an abrupt end before the midterms.
Exactly. Dog food that cost $42 for 30-lb bag for years and years shot up to $60 for just 26 lbs during COVID. It's recently come "down" to $58 for 26 lbs. Big whoop!
And all of his bragging about "prices going down" will just blow away in the wind like everything else he lies about. The MAGAts never hold him responsible for anything. Ever! #GroceryPrices
Coming from the same fucks who hollowed out this country by shipping everything to China for cheep labor.
Traitor est scum.
China didn't steal intellectual property, You fucks handed it to them for profits.
You should all be hung by the neck.

"LUTNICK: No. Tariffs do not, do not, do not create inflation! This concept is just ppl whining and complaining"
"There's going to be a transition period."

There is a head of steam building in Britain to stop buying American.
The transition (recession) will last as long as Trump
Talking heads are unrealistically hopeful or wilfully ignorant.

Trump only graduated business school because his Daddy paid for a library, and had pictures of the Dean.
I think Homer is smarter...

He's like an evil robot that needs oil.
Invest in guillotine futures.
Where capital is entirely concentrated and we are subjugated.

What magical outcome do they think will happen?
Inflation - no
Gaza - no
Ukraine - no
Jobs - no
Stock Market - no
GDP - no
10% add-on for tariff reasons, per the supplier.
🤦♂️

They are trying out what Putin does, and it won't work here.
They are trying out what Orban does, and it won't work here.
Americans will not stand for this continued bs.
Then, once the world loses confidence in the dollar and US bond market, no more ‘flight to safety’ - the mountain of debt will sink them.
