Trump on tariffs: "There will be very little flexibility once we start. April 2 is going to be a very big day for the United States of America. The United States of America is gonna take back a lot of what was stolen from it by other countries."

American companies will raise their prices to 1 cent under the price (with a tariff) of a foreign made product. The rich get richer, we all pay more so they can.
Weird, they didn't do it this way during the pandemic and prices never came down after the supply chain issues were resolved. I'm putting nothing past them and their greed, except maybe in highly competitive wholesale markets.
He knows exactly how they work. He also knows the Republican cultists who support him are ignorant or just don't care, so he can lie his ass off with impunity > see shooting someone on 5th Ave and not losing a single vote.
Market pain now, wait till April. Trump and Nutlick should release the tariffs on April 1 because they have turned the stock market into a casino for fools.
🇺🇸📉 The U.S. lost its most valuable asset in 2025: credibility. The world sees it.
50% of Europeans see the U.S. as just a “necessary partner,” not an ally
Corruption concerns rising (CPI score dropped from 76 → 65).
Trust in media, CEOs & govt is collapsing, America’s global standing freefalling.
He says stolen when it was corporate greed for profits that sent their businesses off shore. Self inflicted. And now his tariffs will inflict even more. MAGA. Make America Giant Assholes on the world stage
Tell that to Average Americans who are losing money in their 401k’s. Also this clown in his first term didn’t bring back manufacturing. It was another scam
He believes tariffs are an external tax, so he thinks the US Treasury has been sending money to other countries to pay the tariffs they charge on US goods. So he should raise them so it's other countries that pay the US instead. That's how it works on his diseased brain.
Take back what exactly and why April 2nd? Is it because April 1st is a high holy day for fools like you and you want to celebrate you being you, minus 2 functioning brain cells?
He is absolutely clueless on tariffs as is his economic genius, press secretary just as dumb🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️. Someone has to ask his Trump going to get countries to hand over “tariffs” to the US🤦♂️🤦♂️😂
Is he planning to announce an invasion on Canada? I hope Canada’s military stands on guard. This reminds me of putin, making up excuses as to why a “special operation" is needed in Ukraine.
Just like Britain stole from India and then India imposed tariffs on Britain to take back the Kohinoor which is still sitting in the Tower of London. (Sarcasm).
Meanwhile Britain and France moved nuclear armed subs to Canada, their missile cruisers into position in the Atlantic. Trump is going to give a stupid order to an unprepared military (most of the US military isn't even in the US), and quickly realize the rest of the world prepared after his threats.
Mind-boggling, isn’t it? I can understand being duped by people who appear to know what they are talking about but he just talks incomprehensible garbage.
🐾I hear ya and have been living it since 2015. I no longer know my country and have no answers other than they have all been enchanted by an evil overlord and no one in the game knows how to take out the overlord so the same plays go on & on until everyone is killed off because no one has secret key
Trump is isolating the United States from the world, while trade between other countries continues to follow the original rules. Trump is destroying the United States in the name of making America great again. 😂🤡😂
This is the same ass clown that says other countries are stealing American jobs when it was the right wing in this country through financialization that offshore American jobs like they were going out of style. Christ what an asshole.
I’ve never known Americans to place the victim card until T and MAGA started crying unfair whenever anybody else was given a fair chance to compete. How can billionaires be victims?
Someone please explain to him what trade deficit means! And also explain that countries don’t pay NATO, they invest a % of their GDP on their own defense. Then again he still doesn’t understand how tariffs work…
I guess we have to educate his dumb followers. Oh wait… no funding for DOE.
So we can be pretty sure the threatened big, bad, we mean business, this is for real this time, we won't be rescinding it in less than one week, mother of all tariffs, tariff day will be pushed back by another "two weeks".
Trump truly believes that America can produce all its own goods, grow its own crops and sell it all within our own borders and it'll be the golden age again.
The tariffs that were going into effect in February? Or the March ones? Are these yesterday's that were then canceled, but then back on, but then others were canceled? Which big, beautiful, America-saving tariffs are we talking about now?!
F'ing mercantilism from the 16th century. -Discourse of the Common Wealth of this Realm of England, 1549: "We must always take heed that we buy no more from strangers than we sell them, for so should we impoverish ourselves and enrich them."
Even if we were to entertain this notion, can he explain what they stole from us?!
He loves to use these vague phrases without citing a single example.
There's are more appropriate words than flexibility here. It's actually called reactive stupidity, fecklessness, non-strategic incompetence or just plain old uninformed fucking idiocy.
This is a big problem (apart from all others, like cruelty, vanity, and lack of empathy) of malignant narcissism: it is part of the personality disorder to believe the actual lies you created to support your failing self-construct. Trump is mentally unable to admit his view on tariffs is very wrong.
I honestly thought the Antichrist would be at least handsome and a good liar. Yet here we are, he’s old and fat with a dead tribble on his head. Can someone please deliver him five bullet points and not miss this time.
America overflows with grievance and a perpetual state of victimhood. It's toxic and divisive—please excise this man.
The polar opposite are immigrants living in my Vancouver community. Hard working, respectful, and not entitled to special treatment from the community ... or other countries.
According to Noel Casler, he's severely dyslexic. Strange as it may seem, despite Trump suing everybody and their mother, he hasn't made a move against Noel Casler or any of his statements. Snorting Adderall, necrotic ischemia of the palate, and of course shitting his pants from his speed habit...
Pure market manipulation. And killing the middle class. His entire goal. That and actually killing the elderly, disabled, veterans, kids… he. Makes. Me. Sick.
Is he really so goddamn stupid that he doesn't know tariffs hurt US importers and consumers? Or is he just that evil, that he knows if he keeps pretending that the other countries will pay money to us for buying their products, his followers will gobble it up like jelly beans?

He forgot he was president from 2017 to 2021…

The media is complicit and by correcting Trump about tariffs.
I thought it was the “weave”.
Republicans did that!
He has no understanding at all about trade, international relationships, making deals, or economics. He is so unbelievably fucking stupid.

"Nothing is going to happen on April 2nd. "

Liz Truss vibes. He may be out of office before the end of 2025.

Every sane country in the world now knows that the US is an unreliable and untrustworthy trade partner.
Doing business in and with the US is a bad bad deal.
A new interpretation of April fool?
They’re not, of course.
What a clueless moron.
Bankrupted his hotels and casinos, next up America
😢😢
