More seriously though, this is where small biz need to follow the old mercantile model and find favorable ways to benefit each other to draw consumers away from big business.
I can’t be alone in my refusal to buy from Amazon, WM, etc. and voting with my dollars.
See the pattern of Trump bankrupting small businesses? When he slapped tariffs on China and to a lesser extent Canada and the EU for agricultural goods in his first term, China bought from S. America & lots of small farmers went under. His 20+B relief went to Big Ag.
Now it's *all* small businesses.
Bankrupting small farmers let Big Ag swoop in and buy their farmland cheap. Bankrupting other small businesses will let big corporations gobble them up at fire sale prices.
Trump wants people subjugated and poor. Small business ownership provides independence & prosperity, so he robs them of that.
All true & Americans have to rise up & show political force to remove his regime if he doesn’t reverse course now.
If they tank the economy & gain unconstitutional military support, everyone’s going to be in the soup. It’ll be harder to climb out of an isolationist USA authoritarianism #noAllies
Never quite manage to finish reading anything he writes bc I’m too distracted by the many grammatical errors! Someone pls school him to write/spk like an adult or just write this stuff for him ..
Small business owners have to bear the brunt of this bullshit while also providing health insurance at rapidly growing premium rates to the the nation’s workers.
Tramp saying the quiet part out loud. This is all about the biggest transfer of wealth from the lower to the upper classes in human history. Unless we organize and stop it. Collective action is the way.
Carrot & stick. But he wants to beat them with the stick first hoping they'll come begging for a carrot. I sincerely hope none comes calling and he gets exposed for the lunatic tyrant he really is.
Also applies to virtually every consumer, farmer, and anyone relying on their 401K for retirement now or anytime soon. Krasnov will not be affected as much as all his spineless enablers who still have re-elections to think about.
How? Actually explain the plan and how it’s going to work.
No one can because it’s purposeful harm done to millions based on lies. There is no fentanyl “national emergency.” The recent Tariffs were based on lies and that seems at least criminal if not impeachable.
So many small business owners who have poured their blood, sweat, and savings into their businesses are going to be wiped out. This will be devastating to so many families and communities. Very sad.
Because they wouldn’t think of anything like that, it’s not about the fentanyl. Just like it was never about the eggs. It’s about the take & using BIPOC to shield & disguise their every move because that’s the one card-the race card-that really Gets white people to give it all up, across the board.
They say Trump is ‘transactional’. But transactional’ is a grotesque euphemism, a misrepresentation. Trump is patently NOT transactional. Rather, he is an egoistical megalomaniac without any concept of the collateral damage he is causing by his self-serving policies. Only morons cannot see this.
They’re closing the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization at HHS. First of many, I’m guessing. These guys are all about their oligarch buddies. Wait for Palantir and Anduril to slurp up $bns in federal contracts by 2028.
When most of the small businesses disappear, it will only benefit the big corporations with no competition in price and local. The consumers end up hurting.
The small businesses will also go out of business. Thousands of jobs may be lost as a result. Importing goods involves contracts between those who import and those who supply US businesses. They may be contractually required not to increase prices to accommodate the tariff increases they now face.
Some enterprising reporters should ask these big businesses how they feel about all these big beautiful tariffs, and what’s going on with the economy lately.
This is an eye opener. We need to stop spending money with big businesses. Amazon, Meta, Tesla, SpaceX, Macy's and any other large business out there. Shop local supermarkets, mom and pops and any other local stores.
How many big businesses are no longer here, pathetic POSER?? How many businesses which you started are no longer here?? ALL of them!! You're an insecure little failure!!
He really does not understand how anything works. Which 'big' businesses are going to produce the stuff the 'soon to be vanishing' small businesses do?
Small businesses, defined as firms with 500 employees or fewer, account for almost half (46%) of the private sector workforce and 99.9% of all US businesses.
If your a small business,he already said he doesn’t care how high prices get.Kiss your life as you know it goodbye.That business of yours will no longer be around.Can only wonder how many of you listened to his bullshit and voted for him bcuz of his “golden” promises.
🇨🇦🇺🇦😂😂Donald Trump saying “big business is not worried about Tariffs” is just bullshit.
Tell that to Tim Cook at Apple who apparently lost $255 billion due to your “stable genius” Tariff policy based on Peter Navarro’s BS rhetoric that you fell for.
NVIDIA , Microsoft, Meta,TESLA etc losers too!
Big businesses aren't worried cause they know they can survive longer than small businesses. All the small businesses will go bankrupt and all that will be left are big businesses that will be able to gouge customers more than they already do
He made a critical strategic error by announcing he’d handle tariffs piecemeal, country by country. Now he’s scrambling to reverse course, insisting the tariffs are permanent.
No serious business is going to pour capital into US manufacturing if the rules could change at the next press conference.
Big business certainly is worried about your insane tariffs Donald Trump, you clueless, lying imbecile! All they had to do was to take a look at how much their stocks fell after you started what even the Trump friendly Wall Street Journal called "the dumbest trade war in U.S. history"!
The workers and small investors are screwed, but the wealthy will definitely win. Big business will raise their prices to ridiculous levels due to the tariffs+. But then when Trump lifts the tariffs, prices won't drop. PROFIT, PROFIT, PROFIT. And they'll eat up all the small business in the end.
Maybe. But if you had 200 million $ and now suddenly find you only have $170 million to your name? It sounds bad but something tells me they’d cope. Whereas if I lose $15k of my personal savings, which I was relying on to buy a house with…
The MAGA Messiah has spent his entire career spouting this sort of BS. Things usually don't turn out very well for those who buy into Trump's deals. We are about to find out how buying into a Trump deal works out for an entire nation.
Watch and see who moves up north and overseas not just small business. Americans will stop buying big ticket items just like what happened 2008 Obama is not here to save us this time .
Even the all mighty Walmart is having a hard time to extract concessions from its China suppliers, let alone the immense majority of small businesses which import from China to make their own products.
People, we know when we are being misled. When what is said is not actually what is happening. If your 401k is now a 101k, the lower prices you were promised are higher & middle / lower class are being stripped of assistance (which they have paid into taxes & Deserve) It’s time to Resist! 👇👇👇
Is that like the big huge beautiful crowd of beautiful people you had at your inauguration last time. Bigger than the crowd Martin Luther King had at the Lincoln memorial for his “I have a dream” speech ???
I guess now I know what you mean by big huge beautiful deal….
The consumer pays the tariffs…. The big business can pay that tax and pass it on to us… small business on the other hand most likely can’t… this is horrendous, despicable and unacceptable
Trump makes no secret of the fact that he serves only the billionaires of big corporations—he doesn’t care if small businesses and ordinary people go bankrupt.
It’s the tax bill they just passed where they made the tax Trump cuts bill from 2017 that was set to expire permanent. Senate republicans passed it last night and voted against every single Dem amendment offered
An aside but does he ever speak in a complete sentence?
Ever do sentence diagramming? Y'know, with subjects and verbs and objects?
If anyone still does that, try it on any of 47's "speeches" or pronouncements...
Yep. There is no clear understandable train of thought except a runaway train.
Yeah. We need to start pushing back harder on these fake screencaps posts. I don't get the obsession people have making these. We all need to be better at verifying before passing this stuff around. This one's made the rounds for years.
Agreed. I understand the motivation (Trump Hate meets Confirmation Bias), but they do more harm than good in the long run. They can damage credibility and turn off the "Trump Hesitant" people who might switch sides one day.
Of Trump supporters, an inordinate percentage of his MOST ardent supporters are small business owners.
Many of them admired his “business success” and tough “You’re fired” image.
being originally from Michigan, I can say that at least SOME big businesses are very worried. Assuming that 1 day these tariffs will bring manufacturing back to the US, some businesses will not live long enough to see that imaginary promised land and will not regain the customers lost along the way
China had 40+ years to develop their supply chains. Lots of infrastructure investment over those years. How fast are US businesses supposed to build out their domestic infrastructure?
Eh, having a ghostwriter isn't a big deal. Claiming to be some master negotiator when he split royalties with said ghostwriter 50/50 instead of the industry standard flat rate is funny as hell, though.
So let me see. Most countries around the globe are facing all kinds of crazy tariffs, based on the rantings of a crazy old guy, but a big beautiful deal will fix all of it? That's amaaaaaazing.
Just the 61.7 million people, accounting for 46.4% of private sector employees in small and medium sized businesses affected then, no worries, should be fine
Trump uses BIG WORDS in all caps to distract the Trump voters from the horrible stuff he's doing to them like jingling a ring of keys in front of a cat.
So why would all the companies all over the world abandon current operations and lose that customer base to set up a “factory” in the US, a market that represents 4% of the world’s population?
So many small businesses will be forced to close and workers will lose their jobs because of his recklessness and he doesn't care. So sad for millions of Americans that are being screwed over by Trump. He is a menace to the entire world.
He doesn’t care about the little people little businesses that’s perfectly clear! Yet these people believed his hype and now look at what he’s done to them and to US!!
Harris proposed a $50,000 tax break to cover start up costs for small business owners. But yeah, we got the fucking guy that is trying to literally destroy this country for everyone, except the uber rich.
He lies all the time. He says that because to face the truth that he tanked our economy and in his own words, should be impeached is something he can't fathom. Instead he golfs

The message of Leo Lionni’s “Swimmy” is a rational way out: organize all the little fish.
The big fish need the small fish to survive not the other way round.

it was nice when we had some hope
or just impeach him 👍

All the big businesses started as small businesses.
The stable genius strikes again.

*Trump’s word is absolutely meaningless.
You need only ask Canada (we had a trade deal) and all the contractors he’s stiffed over the years.
Here's a thought: To hell with big business. Let's focus on human beings. Let's shift the economy back to small and medium businesses.
What a Deluded, Demented, Syphilitic Sociopath.
God help us all...
Then there will be the land JD Vance will grab and others will grab.
It's a heist.

out buying up bankrupt smaller family farms for pennies on z dollar. 💸
pay attention to the chaos diversions, not to the consolidation of wealth & power. /s ❤️🔥
Especially relevant for employees who voted for a felon.
Apple lost over $533B in the last two days.

He's maniacal, cruel, and evil.
I really hate this six times bankrupt, convicted felon and rapist game show host.
Let’s take a guess.
Saudi’s have money.
Trump likes crypto.
Sounds like a crypto scam.
Trump likes rich Saudi’s
Trump hates poor Americans.
We poor Americans are probably fucked again y’all.
I guess now I know what you mean by big huge beautiful deal….

Purges, right?
(a) World population: 8B
