Of course he knows how tariffs work, as do all Republicans. Why do we insist an calling them stupid? They know exactly what they are doing. At the least, they benefit when we all panic to spend $ before he takes office, and his friends all make money on tariffs. They just don't if it impacts you.
I think they know exactly how tariffs work, but they wanted voters to go along. Vivek Ramaswamy (DOGE) has actually said that the goal of this administration is to make us like Argentina, where the government was torn down. Now there is 230% inflation and an ever-increasing 53% poverty rate.
It’s sad that Justin Trudeau had to go to Florida to teach him how tariffs work. Our leadership in this country is a joke. A cult disguised as a political party.
Neither do his MAGAt followers. So they will be suffering right along with us. I just wish those of us who voted for the adult on the ballot instead of that PAB baby who thinks he’s a man and a smart one who really isn’t wouldn’t be affected by all of their stupidity.
I think he does, though.
Impress your followers with tough talk, get the attention of Canada and Mexico so their leaders come to you, then claim that they are doing what you say.
You can now point to the successes (that were already there) as if they are yours and your dumbass supporters lap it up.
For me, I am disgusted that Trump is holding court at Mar A Lago and so many foreign leaders and business owners are trekking down there to bend their knees.
Hey nice message but I’d advise you not to use ai to make fun of Trump. Conservatives did the same thing with Harris and this might turn some followers away.
He knows, he doesn’t care! He’s still a toddler who does things out of spite. Not out of reason.
Such people make great Nazis, but poorly scripted and poorly evolved humans!
So isn’t that just a hidden plan for him to hide that they will not be reducing use of fossil fuels??There doesn’t look to be any incentives for companies or everyday families so…more money for the rich!! Someone explain this to me please!
He's threatening tariffs, so he can personally get paid off by the countries & corporations, then he'll give them exclusions. It's a personal grift using public power. 100%.
Trump knows how tariffs work.
1) Become President
2) Threaten massive tariffs
3) $100s of millions deposited into secret Swiss bank account by foreign leaders and CEOs.
For your purposes, you're just putting them on, or threatening...so that you can make a deal to remove them. What it actually causes means nothing to you and your moronic followers.
Correction: He doesn't care how tariffs work. And he's not going up for re-election so he has 0% concern whether people suffer. Even though small businesses may fail and consumers go without, he and his rich cronies will all be fat from the reduced taxes and deregulation.
Taiwan is bracing for a second Trump presidency and the uncertainty it could bring to its future. Interesting to see what Musk does. If the Chinese blame him for anything negative Trump does - $TSLA is in deep💩.
Also Trump’s still a convicted felon rapist! Too bad anchors r too scared to discuss that fact.. hello @joe-scarborough.bsky.social @kasie.bsky.social @joyannreid.bsky.social @jenpsaki.bsky.social etc and why he won!
You know people with take steps, under immunity cover, to make tariffs look good. Watch. The crash and burn will play out after the Kash and carry has happened
I agree. He’s 2 move trump. Tarriffs & taxcuts. Only this time around, he doesn’t have a Paul Ryan standing by to write “signature legislation” for him.
tRump intends to rob this entire nation of all of its wealth except for himself and his cronies. He spent his entire first term racketeering. We can expect 100x more of the same.
He does not know anything about being President in general. He just loves being admired. He is Russian puppet. He failed at business and running the country. He is an embarrassment
You know, the sad part of this is many people around him know exactly how they work and they say nothing! They just let him spew his bullshit lies over and over and stay complicit. 😡
Well, we know how tariffs work!. Plz help me get the word out about "We Have the Receipts: Grassroots Evidence." Folks are collecting receipts for their ordinary purchases now to compare prices after Trump, Season 2 begins. We're all going to suffer rising prices--but let's use this to change minds.
Yeah he does, he just doesn't care. He's perfectly happy to push hardship on to the American people just to prove he's more powerful than other world leaders. It's all just a D measuring contest for him.
Tell that to the soyabean farmers, they immediately lost their market in china when China responded with tariffs of their own. China started buying from Brazil and the market never recovered.
The EU is already compiling a list of goods to tariff in response to trump if he goes ahead.
Soybeans have only dropped the past two years, the four or five years before they were going up. I worked as a farm hand in college, we did soybean, cotton, peanuts, and corn. Just standard row crops. So you kind of are talking to a soybean farmer.
In 2016 the US exported $14 Billion in soyabeans to china, by 2018 this fell to $3.1 Billion. That has not recovered as china turned to Brazil for soyabeans.
Overall the tariffs on China and other countries across all industries cost the US $300 Billion.
The price per bushel, which is what is being paid to farmers went up between 2018 to 2022, then its fell a little the past couple. You told me to ask a farmer, well I was one. This is what they see.
It's simple... put a map of the U.S. burning to the ground. That's what he wants to do. TRUMP is UNAMERICAN! He is NOT my PRESIDENT! He is a TRAITOR and his entire Administration is beyond Seditionous and TREASONOUS.
He knows exactly how tariffs work, money that flows directly into US treasury. Where it comes from or from whom does not concern him. It is just a big pot of money that he will control likely with little oversight based on his cabinet picks and loyalty requirements.
If he actually does go through with it but if he does a lot of people are going to find out exactly how tariffs work and the potential impact it may have on them personally !
He does know. He's acting and playing stupid...
hes trying to see how many world leaders will come to him ---- he's luring them in.... he knows exactly what he's doing. Burning the country Down 😡
Trump and his followers lack a fundamental understanding of how anything actually works, which explains their belief in the most harebrained conspiracy theories.

Hope this helps!

He's not in office yet.
We dropped the other place & came here, we can do the same with any media personalities or businesses betraying democracy
Let them learn like the other place did that they need us, and thar we know it
trump: derp, duh, phbbbt…I’m good at math.
Such people make great Nazis, but poorly scripted and poorly evolved humans!
Or empathy.
Or common decency.

2) Threaten massive tariffs

Success!
Tariffs. Otherwise known as taxes confuse an orange brain.
The US ran on tarriffs until the illegal income tax and "Federal" Reserve were implemented.
It's actually a really good system, it fosters dialogue and negotiation between nations involved in global trade.
Remember USMCA?
Never give into a bully, he will never be satisfied
Remember. We're "nice." Until we're not.
Trump and friends. Cruising with corruption.
The text should rather state: "My people do not know how tariffs work."
Tariffs help the rich/oligarchs, screw over the poor, which is why Republicans love it.
Also Wharton School should be wallowing in shame and rescind that "degree" they gave him.
Trust me.
Love, 🇨🇦
Yes, think kleptomaniac.

Please help a family—thy neighborhood. Thanks to all.
Project 2025 is a blueprint for a Feudal Theocracy.
To create only 2 classes, you must strip the lower classes of all of their wealth rapidly.
Let's not pretend this is anything but maliciously intentional, please.
He knows exactly how they work and does not care how it hurts the every day American or small businesses. At all.
If it wasn't clear he is coming into office with intention to burn everything down.
Stop underestimating him and those behind him.
So in brand for this dimwit. 😂😂
