Do you like being called stupid?
Do you like being taken advantage of?
Seriously just wake up already.
Companies are saying they have to raise prices due to tariffs.
Wake up. Reality is waiting to talk with you.
Facts want to speak with you
Everytime they try and gaslight it only makes it worse. You have the government basically telling you where you're gonna be buying your items because they killed your choice to buy
You mean ?
I’m sure Jim Kramer feels their pain.
He said all of that with a smile on his face.
This is unsound, unwise and unsustainable, makes no sense. No matter what he says.
Love his wiki page. Good read.
Who's a great golfer? You are, Trump, you are!"
Just ludicrous!
These morons are ruining our country!
He'd have that smirk on his face while picking on kids because he knew he was untouchable
But when you crossed him alone in the hallway, he'd look away...
China has 100 apples. We were buying them for $1 plus .10 tax. They raise the tax to .50 so AMERICANS don't buy the apples but China sells the apples, FOR A DOLLAR, to another country.
That’s the way you pin em down. They are expert word manipulators
Just report the facts and who's responsible.
Stop asking these lying sacks of shit rhetorical questions to "get them on record."
The First Amendment protects their lying. They won't be shamed, and if they're honest, they get fired like the lawyer who admitted that deportation was a mistake.
But that's the kind of straightforward answer you're not going to get.
WTF
“-Tariffs are taxes that will increase the price of goods to consumers. Why is it this administrations strategy to increase the costs of everything for everyone?
He can frame it how he wants, but YES, we will be paying more!
It makes me sick that these people will twist themselves into a pretzel in an attempt to make Trump's misguided, moronic tariffs sound like a plus. How many times can they pretend dumb moves are brilliant before they stop?
Serious pervy health class teacher vibes...
European here. Are people literally this ignorant in America, or did the Overton Window hijack common sense and critical thinking skills?
Are they saying this is now a socialist price-fixing government?
So the commies and socialists are actually MAGA
B: it is a form of wetness.
A: so then it is wet?
B: no.
E.g. 'trade deficits.' This is a deliberately dishonest framing of trade imbalances. With the 3rd largest population in the world, America has a trade surplus.
The idea that smaller countries are taking advantage of the richest country on the planet is absurd!
Yet journalists continue to use Republican framing!
He is not a practiced liar -- like his more experienced colleagues
TAX CUTS → RICH
BENEFITS CUTS → EVERYONE ELSE
Congress votes Wed to permanently extend the tax breaks for the rich.
I don’t know how these bullshitters sleep at night (actually I do - they don’t GAF)
This man should be made to feel unwelcome in any public space he enters.
Walks into a CVS? Kapow.
Picking up a Quarter Pounder with cheese at the drive thru? Zap!
About to putt on the 8th hole? Bop!
Leaving a tip (lol) at a restaurant? Bam!
But now that you mention it, it’s quite punchable.
George:
A tariff is a tax, isn't it?
Hassett:
A tariff is a form of tax.
George:
And this tariff tax gets added to the price of the product that consumers pay ?
Hassett:
Well, I guess you have me there George.
Makes sense.
I am loving this winning.

We’re watching a Milgram experiment playing out. Fascists invoke a punishment on those not in on the joke/crime of impoverishing us for the grifter in chief. At least we’re informed digitally, while being #fingerTrumped by A-hole$
Normalizing trumpism.....sigh.
FOR A FOOL today
The whole world will be joining the celebration, so it’s gotta be the Biggest. Crowd. Size. Ever. 🍾
We KNOW Disney's Broadcast division got the Knee pads out for Trump and Everything they've got On Air is a Lie
Cut Your Throat at Your Own Risk
He’s the most chipper liar I’ve ever seen.
Because they're the ones that don't go off and scream and threaten as much
Jesus...
He is an idiot
The plural of word (Wort) in German is Wörter.
There's a lake called Lake Wörther.
If you have no clue, you are rowing around on Lake Wörther.
