The problem I have with this is Trump royally f'd up back in first administration causing us to have to bail out the farmers. The same sentiment was posed back then. "People had their eyes opened." So...is everyone suffering from amnesia? Who to say they won't suffer from it again and again...
He paid out over 28 billion dollars to farmers while no one in other countries were going to pay those extra tariffs so the crops just rotted in the fields.
That 28 billion was taxpayers money. You paid for that !!
Correct, I think a lot of people misunderstood MAGA from the beginning and still do - MAGA is not interest in preserving democracy - they are all about authoritarianism as long as it's their guys in charge.
This is not accurate. This is all being done with intention and purpose. This is not just a stupid stunt. His intention is to wreck the US economy and the free world economies. And he is succeeding because no one is doing a damn thing to stop him. They are trying to create a new world order.
This is my concern as well. It only *seems* dumb to *EVERYONE* who this will hurt. But this *won't* hurt his billionaire buddies: they will scoop up things on the cheap after the crash and make a killing. This won't hurt those who he owes favors to. This will hurt literally everyone else!
And I've no idea who *can* stop this. I feel as if our congress has already shown a distinct lack of spine, thus far or they have split loyalties. Obviously, throwing money at campaigns is not a silver bullet either, or otherwise Kamala would have won. I think we need to go back to grass-roots.
I still can’t figure it out
Does he really not understand tariffs?
Does he understand them and wants to impose a national sales tax?
Or is it just standard trump, “Once I said it, it’s true and I’m riding this bullshit to the grave”. 🖕
The artist who created this image, Michael de Adder, lost his job at Brunswick News in 2019 after publishing another Trump cartoon depicting him standing over dead immigrant bodies. Thank him for his continuing work to illustrate the orange idiot’s moronic practices. FDT.
An equally true image is trump walking down fifth ave (or anywhere) shooting everyone he walks by in the foot as his bs tariffs won’t really affect his happy ass much
The plan is my deepest fear, ruin our economy, cause bankruptcy to a large scale, then it will be the billionaire buying the ruins at fire sale prices, or in the words of the author, Greg Palast, a "Vultures Picnic".
Think people mistake Trump shooting himself in the foot as a mistake, in that the policy will backfire on the US. That is what he wants. He stated clear his intentions and now he is at it.
it is putlers 'happy times'. Watching it all with no power to change is like watching surgery on yourself awake no anaesthetic.
But trump like russia when they do things it is chaotic and that can often blow up in their faces. So its hold on the ride almost feeling, watching from afar
Feel it's a common feeling. Sticking our head in the sand is not the answer but at some time it is ok to turn off then news for a time.
The announcements themselves are trolling and baiting us as well as the impact of what they do. So i cut out the baiting part then catch up the news thru PBS etc
I read. Every time I watch TV, I'm out in 10 minutes.
I want to know the meaningful news and avoid the gossipy noise.
How are the people of Ukraine holding up. Are they ready to cede land to the monster?
I know I shouldn't look ĺback but 2 women tried to convince Obama to do something in 2014.
I worry he'll back track, remove the tariff, then claim success. Typical hero syndrome. He's done it many times in his 1st term. (Be a firefighter, but an arsonist in actuality, set the fire, be 1st on-site, puts it off, claim victory, be a hero.) Then his base swallows all he spews.
Any negatives will for sure be someone else's fault.
On the tariffs, think he just will lay them on everyone, then use the power of removing them for whatever he wants. To pressure Governments in power or reward ones he wants elected.
think a few things already have. The new digital printing press with all its social complications with putin around for 25 years, was not the best for it.
He is not the cause of every woe but Sitting on the security council with his bio. he set the low bar for this century. Imho.
I agree… this is all part of a bigger scheme for billionaires to bet on shorts with Trump tanking the economy so they all walk away with 20-40% middle to lower-class American retirement accounts.
What brain? That melon on top of his vagina-looking neck is full of wet sand, the newspaper from the bottom of a birdcage, and squirrel shit. It’s got a barely functioning brain stem, but that’s it.
Imagine all the soon to be worthless stocks he and Elon will be able to buy soon. I hope Ivanka doesn't suffer too much and have to re-wear the same shoes. Melania will be fine. There are several good years left in her knee pads
The gun is pointed at the wrong body part. Yes; I know it's a cartoon editorial. But, I would have felt a teeny, tiny bit better if it had been drawn right.
Cute cartoon, but I think it is all with purpose (likely by instruction by his masters). Create economic crisis, have an economic meltdown and market crash, and pick up what is left for pennies on the dollar.
Talk about sitting for too long on your brains, threating to restrict exports of Texas cotton🤣 What a way to drive our allies to India & China. Each produces, & are significant exporters of cotton who probably would welcome doing business with Canada.
Relax folks

Trump is not protecting/helping Americans. He is just bullying other countries because he wants to play king of the hill without thinking about the consequences. He's spoiled and privileged and couldn't care less about people.
He wants to end our relationships w allies. Tariffs for Mexico/Canada. He is threatening to invade Colombia/Denmark.
Psychopaths do this w spouses all the time, ruining their relationships with their family/friends in a step-by-step process.
He is trying to do the same thing to our entire nation.
Donald Trump has officially declared through an executive order that everyone on Earth is transgender. He signed an executive order stating that sex is determined at conception. HOWEVER, every person on Earth develops sex at about one month AFTER conception. We ALL change gender at one month.
I don't think so Jon. I think these tariffs are a way for him and/or his buddies to line their pockets. I'm not sure how but I expect so.ething will happen in the next weeks and everyone will say "Ah ha!".
I'm sure many were thinking the same.
I'd rather see him stopped and jailed for the rest if his life.
Same with Elon and every person in the Maga Repug party helping them!
Right now, the Republicans are in shock and confused and too afraid to say anything. I wonder what the Republicans will think, when they are surprised again after he shoots himself again.
Except hes not shooting himself in the foot, hes accomplishing his goal of isolating and weakening the country while destroying its alliances, the job his foreign friends gave him. He and his cronies will loot the government while it falls
The cartoon maybe correct; however the 🍊 🤡 does not care. He'll do whatever it takes to prove he's right. And right now that's burning down the country. The US as a Republic we knew is gone. We have civilians buying the administration and not a single person or entity is doing anything. Power grab
Cartoons like this one imply that Trump is doing more harm to himself that he is doing to the nation. This is false. The nation is suffering while Trump is getting richer.

That 28 billion was taxpayers money. You paid for that !!
But hell they voted for the sequel?
He isn't going to feel a thing.
He's bankrupted casinos, you think he GAF about the govt or its citizens?
This isn't what will break him - I'm not entirely sure if there is anything that can atp.
Does he really not understand tariffs?
Does he understand them and wants to impose a national sales tax?
Or is it just standard trump, “Once I said it, it’s true and I’m riding this bullshit to the grave”. 🖕
Because no one could have thought
That Canada and Mexico
Would lay down and take it
Proud of them
The current WH resident
Knew that it would dominate
The media cycle
Terrified of what other nefarious activities
That they're hiding
THIS MUST STOP
WE HAVE TO STOP THEM

Trump is shooting the people of the US in the head.
Putin never had happier times.
But trump like russia when they do things it is chaotic and that can often blow up in their faces. So its hold on the ride almost feeling, watching from afar
I feel like I'm waiting for something but don't know what it is.
The announcements themselves are trolling and baiting us as well as the impact of what they do. So i cut out the baiting part then catch up the news thru PBS etc

A Global protection payment system almost.
He is not the cause of every woe but Sitting on the security council with his bio. he set the low bar for this century. Imho.
Shoot yourself in the head, please do it right now.
And I don’t see those anywhere.

Instead he is punishing Americans with his Tariff Sales Tax

He won't feel the added costs;
His cultists will just blame everyone else; and
His defenders in the media will explain it away or ignore it.
And none of these people give two shits about the people actually affected.
When you are a big ignorant & moron !
That's what happens!
But that everyone around him is as stupid as him, it's still quite disturbing !! 😱😱😱
But this felonguy is POTUS...😭
No pain. All gains.
