Negotiating with who? The voices in Trump's head? Just like peace in Ukraine can happen when Russia leaves. Tariffs on American goods will end when Trump stops his economic terrorism. No negotiating with terrorists, says the rest of the world.
If these tariffs are so wonderful, why is Brooke Rollins promising bailouts?? BAILOUTS sounds very communisty. These farmers need BOOTSTRAPS and nothing else!!
I bet they’ll be BUYOUTS so the megacorporations can buy up the last remaining family farms in the United States. It’s part of their plan, after all. And it would personally enrich Vance.
They will f farmers over, like they always do and the same farmers will vote for them again, after a dem potus does right by them. Many Americans lack even the most basic understanding of reality, no lie
Put your money where your mouth is! You don’t have a clue what it takes to keep farms running, next time you put food in your mouth REMEMBER WHERE IT CAME FROM! The FARMERS. Not the stores! So get off your ass and do something!!! So help us out, You people making this mess? Help do the chores!
Well that is some breathtaking shameless obsequiousness right there on full display. Leadership?! Maybe she should go back to tending her backyard chickens. #Tariffs
I was tired of this shit before it even began. It was clear to anyone with two brain cells what was about to happen. And it's not over... I fear it will get much worse.
I am right with you on that. I am very concerned where this is going to end up. I don't see how this ends without a lot of people getting hurt. Unfortunately a lot of fellow citizens are going to need a deprogramming from the cult they are in thrall to. It's a scary time, isn't it.
This is also how he will use tariffs. He will impose or give relief to States and businesses who kiss his ass and ruin or build their economy using supposed tarriffs in other countries.
This bizarre over-the-top Dear Leader rhetoric... they do this because *Trump is literally watching them live on Fox News*. This is a live performance for Trump, and this is the kind of language he insists on hearing. The depths of depravity to expect this, and then to humiliate yourself doing it. 🤢
It will never cease to amaze me how these people can so brazenly wreck so much havoc and destruction and get in front of cameras and claim they are doing the exact opposite. Fuck you again, Trump voters.
I’m not. I’m sickened and I can’t sleep. I’ve been grinding my teeth and I have headaches. This is no way to spend my retirement, watching that imbecile threaten everything we are as a nation. #50501 bc complacency is not an option
Honestly America needs to see what a fucking clown car Trump is running. This puts it all in stark relief. These cabinet secretaries having to sell this garbage is the punishment they deserve.
They feed ppl what they want to hear. The world is too difficult to face in reality so they reinforce the fears they already have and it makes them feel good.
This woman is not too smart or just a trump ass kisser she doesn’t know what the hell she is talking about, trump has destroyed the government and now trump is destroying the country ya great job ass hole
🇨🇦🇺🇦 Yikes Brooke Rollins, you SURE about that?
Dow down 1200 points and you’re still willing to go on Fox News and kiss Donald Trump’s ass?
As a Canadian, I find it appalling that you would have so much enthusiasm for destroying American’s lives!
Trump could hand them dog poop and tell them to eat it saying it’s chocolate and they would do it and go on Fox afterward to say that it was the best chocolate they ever had and that they are grateful to Trump.
The US has already achieved north-korean leader worshiping status. 🙈 When people won't be able to afford food anymore, they'll praise dear leader for solving the obesity problem in the US.
Doing what? I know there was a semi bipartisan bill or something that passed with all Dems and Rand Paul, McConnell, Collins, and Murkowski to cancel the tariffs on Canada
Add the charts of corn, soybeans and meats down today. She’ll be announcing new market adjustment payments to farmers any moment now on top of the $10B already announced.
In a day or two there will be a (likely brief) rebound. How many already wealthy investors will buy at the bottom and cash out a quick and very large profit at that rebound, before the next roller coaster plummet?
What’s that scheme people go to jail for playing around w/the stock market? Not just insider trading…because it seems someone had a crazy idea! IJS! IMO!
The world, and 263 million Americans are at war with American Nazis. Act accordingly.
Circumvent us. Sanction us. Boycott us. Economically crush us.
Shock and awe. Swift and aggressive.
After 80 years, we must unite again against Nazis, and purge fascism from the planet. #destroyfascism
FOX NEWS: New poll states US taxpayers enjoy downsizing their lives. Trump’s Golden Age of recession was just what they needed. Some people say they quite enjoy the simple life of eating beans under a bridge because It promotes community and family values. America is finally great again.
If you want to speed up negotiations, we should probably give life sentences to everyone who was on board for Trump and Elon, while those two get sentenced to public prison for life as well.
"We amputated the patient's leg, and yes there will be a little correction while the bleeding stops, but we're thrilled we were able to help the patient lose weight."
Minutes after GOP voted to confirm RFK Jr., in an act of astounding moral cowardice, 19 Senate Democrats joined Republicans to back the racist, climate denier, mass-deporter Brooke Rollins as Secretary of Agriculture, in a 72-28 vote.
They had to vote for some of them so they would be taken seriously and win GOP votes to stop the really bad ones, Brad. Everyone knows this is very smart.
It's amazing how depressing it is that this isn't an Onion video. Like seeing her spout bs next to sooo much red and negative numbers, it genuinely makes me want to chuckle. That is, until I quickly remind myself this is actually happening.
His leadership is disrupting global trade which will trigger a recession, strain diplomatic ties & cause high domestic infl, job losses & social unrest. Allies are forming new trade blocs, shifting global leadership. The US will be isolated, global influence will fade & the economy left in shambles.
It would have been much harder with smart, competent people to make this type of decision. trump said he loves the poorly educated and we understand why more each day.
Please do not underestimate the number of stupid people in positions of authority.
Many of them rose based on their salesmanship, which not only doesn't require intelligence or analytical skills, or critical reasoning skills, but benefits from a lack of these skills.
Oh, they have a plan. Enable the rich to buy out more small farms at pennies on the dollar, as has happened in some states. They’re just not quite ready to pull that trigger yet.

If we don't get brain cancer research we sure as hell shouldn't be bailing out any farmers.

I think it's safe to say the USA will never recover. I only hope the wider world can survive.

Like, honest question.
I just cannot.
They should be forced to call themselves Fox Entertainment instead of Fox News.
The lying is what lead to all of this psycho bs from Trump
Their constant appeal to emotion literally undermines their audience's ability to think rationally.

And so is everyone else because we’re being subjected to the shit stain they voted for.
This is no political party.
This is a disgusting fascist cult.

After the simultaneous letters from constituents go out to every office, there will be a public tracker of responses.

So so grateful

Will you support EVERYTHING Trumps wants? Yes!
You’re hired. (HUD has its own requirements because that is urban shit.)
He is trying to kill SNL? Another grudge ...
