It’s like the guy is just making it up as he goes along. He just keeps contradicting himself. What’s really hard to grasp is how people are falling for his nonsense. Makes me lose my faith in humanity.
He's not playing 4d chess, he's playing chicken bingo. Strutting around like a brainless rooster while billions of people try to figure out where he's gonna crap next.
Exactly, hence why he is trying to steal Greenland & Canada plus control Panama Canal shipping routes.
We don't have the resources here. His desires aren't for the U.S., he wants to be King of the World
So you’re telling everyone you want companies to bring back manufacturing to the states but your rescinding of tariffs says otherwise. So which is it? Do you want lower tariffs or home grown products? Your red hat leader says both. And that’s not a thing. If I’m wrong, tell me why I am
More like they're fighting back tears of laughter as he talks tough on the phone & TV. When they hang up, those folks are probably erupting with gut busting laughter.
"Jim Mattis (a retired Marine Corps four-star general, who commanded forces in the Persian Gulf War, the War in Afghanistan, and the Iraq War) compared Trump to ‘Fifth or Sixth Grader,'...".
My parents sold the farm during the height of covid and maximum profit, and moved to Tennessee, and built, very slowly, another farm. My mom hated it, and recently, last November they moved back home. To a condo. Mom is 80 Dad is 85.
He was successful in creating enough chaos that everyone feels it but no one really understands it, then he pulls back on the crazy and the chaos stops for a minute and he pretends he's the hero and his super smart 4D chess got us here. His supporters will believe it. Nothing changes.
He was always going to lift tariffs. Just did it sooner because people were really angry.
The people making millions off this scheme… their only issue is having less time to buy up cheap stocks while tariffs are in place.
It was a con.
But that said, nobody overseas will trust us now so…
Stop saying he caved and backed down! This was 100% market manipulation on steroids. He and his treasonous billionaire backers just made out like bandits and are trying to pass it off as some genius strategy. Plus, we still have tariffs and what will they do after 90 days? More manipulation???
Why are most Americans too dumb to get this concept? I know 80% are not smarter than a 5th grader. I was shocked to discover I am 6% of us with a master’s STEM. 25% are functionally illiterate. Same as 1879, the year of incandescent bulbs and child mortality of 50%, life expectancy of 39.4.
I have no idea. I don't have a college degree, just common sense. The problem is a lot of people don't have any critical thinking skills and are just incurious as to anything going on outside of their immediate social bubble. They don't read or keep up with the larger world. It's baffling to me.
Degrees prove you can regurgitate and how well you can do it. Common sense is rare, but deductive reading can be taught. I had no clue how dumb most people are. You clearly are educated, and there’s the difference. I bet you read a bit, watch documentaries, and research for yourself.
I didn't either. People I thought were "smart" continuously prove me wrong. Your last sentence describes me to a "T" 😊 I don't understand people who don't want to know.
While we toil in American sweatshops to produce textiles that almost no one can afford the scientists in other countries dominate with new advances in science & technology. The bloviated rich & their supporters strike again. They strike at the ground beneath them.
Bullshit Brian! The inept and corrupt administration has just fed the Trump crime syndicate and his greedy oligarchs! It was nothing less than a planned scam by the biggest conman, thief and grifter to ever hold office.
Yes, Trump is financially illiterate real life shit gibbon but a shit gibbon whose budget Brian @schatz.bsky.social voted for. So, maybe sit this one out and STFU!
I agree. He's been lazy as they come on D Senate leadership. Only after fellow D leadership's Sen Cory Booker's record-breaking 25+hr intrinsic filibuster won international acclaim did Schatz start seeking the left limelight. Good that he's doing it now, but it's just opportunism.
There is no plan. He's just a moron who came up with the "brilliant" idea of blanket tariffs without any plan whatsoever for implementing them. All he can do is "wing it".
The tariffs on-tariffs off game is all one big market manipulation scheme, designed to make money on trading futures.
They take short positions right before the fat golfer says "tariffs on" and makes billions as the market crash.
They take long positions right before he says "tariffs off"....
This government is by far the most corrupt and criminal is US history: if any private individual engaged in behaviour like this, it would render them a ten year prison sentence.
But the Prez has immunity, so he can commit any crime he wants while he's in the Oval office, or so he thinks....
He was is working his way up to it. The last 80 days have been an experiment to see how much he can get by with before anyone with the power to stop him actually tries to do it. At this rate, he will get to guillotines on the White House lawn!
Americans suffer, millions due to DOGE cuts and the end of due process, yet Republicans are desperate to find victory in Trump’s unlawful manipulation of the market staged to benefit the rich.
That’s cool and everything but why did he vote for Trump and Musk’s spending plan in exchange for absolutely no concessions? His hot dog suit is showing
And we're going to eliminate income taxes with tariffs, but also we're going to bring manufacturing jobs back so we don't have to import anything anymore...
You can't use them as a job creation too and a revenue generator for the government. They're just a tax.
For the liars and the ignorant, the US is the world’s #2 textile manufacturer in the world, behind China. Has been for a decade or more. Trump’s been in office three months and claims it’s due to him. And useless corporate media hacks ask for extra shit on their shit sandwiches.
MAGA: Of course he was lying! Don't you see? That's the art of the deal! You tell a lie. When it blows up in your face, you lie some more. We win! They lose! I admit I was worried for a minute. But it turns out my faith was rewarded. You can always count on what he said to be a lie. He's the best!
After liquidating the US equities and bonds in my retirement account I told my broker I won’t be back until the markets and the government are under adult supervision.
i wonder who Trump told about his tariffs pause in advance 🤔 would've been very interesting information to have to see who made out like a bandit today
There should be, but I’m sure they’ll do their best to hide the truth, or deflect somehow by saying they knew Trump’s “Art of the Deal” would eventually come through, or some other kind of bullshit.
Textiles fled the USA because people HATED working in places like that. Same for Die Casting.
Americans are not going to jump at the chance to go back into Textile manufacturing.
No one is calling him to make a deal he is a delusional old man who has no idea or plan what to do but lie. He is such a crook along with his Repube enablers.
Save your blankets for your own people (probably laced with small pox too, read a book if you don't get the reference) the world has China we will get silk from them 👍🏻👍🏻🙂🙂
Ah, the CT tribes vs the Dutch colonial trading CO. They used bioweapons and fake news to get land. Pequot museum had so much on it. Miss my home state! Even the forced extermination of a tribe in Middletown, CT. Up until the civil war, CT allowed people to be sold as slaves.
How can businesses make long-term plans when this game of musical chair tarriffs is being played? It's like Lucy pulling away the football as Charlie Brown prepares to kick!
We don’t have the infrastructure. I am all for bringing manufacturing back to the US. But it would take years. those jobs were dangerous. They got rid of OSHA and now child labor laws. We are right back in the 1920s and 30s. When brown lung disease was prevalent in textile workers
My great grandfather served in the Calvary in the Mexican war and WWI. He survived the depression. He knew how to grow his own food, fish and feed himself. He was a cooper, and helped his dad, a German migrant and piano maker. 1879 is what they want.
Wow, he was skilled. My grandfather was a mechanic he hunted to supplement the food during the depression. Great uncles served in WWI & worked in the mines. Most people don't have any of the skills that our grandparents & great-grandparents had. I have a black thumb so growing my own food is iffy.
Because face it, all your life you've really wanted to work in a sweat shop. It will make you all swole and alpha-chad and whatever the hell adolescent reactionaries want to be. (Unless you're assigned female, then you want to be pregnant in the kitchen. They have jobs for that too.)
So sad the dude does not realize how stupid and confused he appears to be every time he opens his mouth. His narcissism and sociopathy will never allow him to shut up however. He needs to hear himself rant.
My dad worked in textiles, back breaking manual labor BUT he retired w/a union pension check & his SS to this day. He saw the exodus of TEXTILES bc of cheap labor overseas. He had GREAT healthcare & a GREAT hourly wage BC he was a union member. Guess what? THAT aint ever coming back.
Nope. Manufacturing (assembly in the US) is a joke with ridiculously low retention despite a better wage than most. Hydrogear lost millions with covid and are laying off like crazy. Mandatory overtime. I asked the plant manager if he was aware of the hundred of studies proving it ineffective.
Wait until the last of the working age boomers retire. The floor is about to go out and this Trump Admin came at the worst time. Transformations are in order as prep for what is to come. I foresee migrant worker bills in the future for even drive thru fast food work.
Unless they are pushing 75 or 72, most I know, are partially retired. My dad and step mom voted for this against themselves and refuse to watch the news. I lost out on SSDI and my appeal win’t be heard, EVER. My KY Medicaid approval for long covid care got revoked as it was out of state. APRN, so.
Thats the kind of look you would expect from someone who realized the man infront of you is a raving lunatic, about to do some really crazy shit... seconds before she pulls her phone up to call the white jackets, and then realized that won't work living in The Handmaids tale.
The only outcome of this is that the rest of the world will start ignoring the USA as a tread partner or political ally.
Or in wordsthe illiterate Trumpers can comprehend:"Go fuck yourself!"
One thing you can guarantee is Trump is getting paid. By who, what corporations is not know or will ever be known. Yet this Supreme Court says any president can take bribes in the Whitehouse if one claims there part of there official duties.
Now you see it now you don’t. The US provides a stable and predictable market for companies to invest billions in Making America Great Again. NOT. Is this how he bankrupted a Casino?

Ex: Last night, he shat his pants?
So, ya, it's becoming a little more apparent.
We are absolutely not letting that go.
There are other striking similarities between Nixon & Trump, & we should discuss those, too...

How much of what you find in Walmart and Dollar Tree comes from China?
Now 125% more...what a deal.
You can't use them as a job creation too and a revenue generator for the government. They're just a tax.
second. how do we get these assholes to stop posting utter fucking nonsense in all CAPS.
i mean wowsa.
No no no... Just kidding :-) I'm not suicidal, and El Salvador is not on my bucket list.
But how to tell if they're just full of shit or full of diarrhea? Hard to tell the difference
**MTG !! We see you !!
Maybe even tried to do it in her sons or boyfriends name.
Cheaters gonna cheat.
And no accountability.
You know they did some shady shit hours beforehand.
Come on...this is so plain and in our face !! The rich just got richer with insider trading !!

full of lies,

It's a joke, not unlike a Putin meeting, full of bullshit.
Embarrassing for the American public.
Just sayin'
