So by Trump’s logic, if we buy more from a country (because we’re the richest in the world) than they buy from us, that’s a “tariff” No. Words mean things. And misunderstanding concepts leads to bad policies, and higher prices/taxes for us all - ThreadSky

That just takes you to a link where Gallagher smashes a melon…. I’m sure of it.

According to him it's also called cheating the US. As is having biosecurity laws to protect a country from diseases and pests. As is having a Goods and Services tax. Oh and also requiring companies like Meta to pay for news reports they lift from others.

He obviously is completely clueless

What do you expect from a functionally illiterate man who thinks "assylum seekers" come from insane assylums.

strangemacguffin.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’d assume the same illiterate man was born and raised in an insane asylum, but somehow he fell into our lives like a baby giraffe being born.

Is their home page a photo of a monkey flinging poop?

What did we buy from the penguins? It's a mistake to try to understand the delusional thinking of a madman and his cult. Logic is not in play here.

Americans like to buy things and it's everyone else's fault, is the lesson to be taken from Trump.

Oh please there’s no methodology he just rated how racist he is toward each country

“Methodology”. Written after taking lots of meth?

Too complicated, don’t care, give me your doughnut! Me strong.

“Trump’s logic”

mrscscrunk.bsky.social•2 days ago

As if there is any logic beyond a man child wanting to be a bully. Trump could care less who is struggling, who will die, who will lose everything. We are in serious trouble.

I think he is purposely trying to destroy the economy so that he can destroy democracy. This is what Putin would want.

Please read Chris Murphy‘s thread.

Methodology? There's no method, only madness

That there are people that look at him as some sort of genius is just mind-boggling.

trump's "methodology"?

Big emphasis on the METH.

If history repeats itself we can hold on hope that the next election map looks like this.

Either no one on his team has explained the correct definition of the word to him, or his brain isn't capable of retaining new info, which is a concern reasonable to have about someone with a family history of Alzheimer's disease. That no one is willing to stop him is alarming.

And Cambodians, for example, each need to buy $20 of US goods for every $1 each American spends on Cambodian goods. Never mind their per capita income is just $2,500 a year compared to $38,000 in the US.

A tariff = a Troll Toll at the bridge.
Big nasty mean troll stands at the bridge and says: “you wanna come in my country- give me $10… ooooh, you are carrying bananas and coffee — you owe me $50 to cross my bridge with those goodies.”
It’s more folklore than math.

mmcclure88.bsky.social•2 days ago

The revenue from tariffs (tax) is based on the simple-minded assumption that imports will continue indefinitely at current levels and trajectories, yes? That strikes me as insanely naive

These people do not understand that this country has been an exporter of ideas for decades because they have so few.

wandersingularity.bsky.social•2 days ago

Also, many of those countries have less people than we do. You can expect smaller countries to buy the same amount as larger companies. America, you fucked up gurl!
