President Donald Trump says taxing imports will strengthen domestic manufacturing. Hours before announcing new tariffs, his administration cut support for centers that help US firms do just that.

Well duh, with these tariffs they won't need the help! Companies will rain money from the sky and high paying manufacturing jobs will be here. And if we're lucky they'll even have smokestacks!
They are salivating over property. People have bought homes and stocks and they have savings. Losing jobs, tariffs and inflation making everything more expensive forces working people to sell their assets cheap.
This also works with small businesses and family farms.
Damn. Almost forgot about that. The most depressing and sinister part of all this. The underlying, over-reaching, all-assimilating plot. Damn damn damn. 😖
Isn't it the goal of the broligarchs to eliminate any and all competition? Well, kill the competition before it even gets the chance to get off its feet.
I bet a million people already said this, but overseas manufacturers are not going to move production into the US. They anticipate a MAXIMUM duration for this bout of DJT tariffs madness of 4 years. Perhaps MUCH shorter (for one reason or . . . ahem . . . another). The investment doesn't make sense.
Congress doesn't even need to impeach the failure. They just need a few honest decent souls to stand up to him and tell him NO NO NO.
He has stolen their jobs, power of the purse, power of taxation, power to declare war, power to declare an emergency that doesn't exist.
Where the fuck are they?
Does anyone believe Trump actually has an IQ of 73? 7.3 probably more accurately reflects his actual IQ.
He shows the understanding & intelligence of a child; the arrogance of a bully; Insecure but loud and obnoxious.
Waiting for his massive FAIL & ouster by just a few brave MAGAT politicians.
That's the personality disorder; he is a narcissistic sociopath. The two disorders (intellectual disability and personality disorder) blend together to create the unique, twisted, cocktail of authoritarianism mixed with braggodocio and zero empathy named Donald Trump we're all having to deal with.
Do these people even know what these agencies do? I mean, why cut all of these people out of their jobs? They will steal enough of our money from the big three, medicaid, social security and medicare, so why destroy these small -fry groups? They need to go; how to stop them???
They’re deliberately crashing the economy, right? And removing all the social safety nets, yes? So an impoverished population cannot run, is vulnerable and scared, and must comply with the regime to survive. Textbook.
It’s actually really smart if you want to buy bits and pieces of a country, to fucking break that country into bits and pieces first, like chewing your food before swallowing it.
He’s only an idiot if you think his goals do not include destroying the United States.
Yeah, it’s true. He’s the useful idiot, the cudgel being wielded by an even wealthier uber elite that see the US as competition to their future empire of Network States.
They use Trump to hollow out the country and fill its corpus with hate till people start getting angry and violent. All to plan.
So we've all noticed that every announcement they make to "help" something in America is followed by moves that ONLY benefit themselves and often CRIPPLE the thing/ people they were.. claiming to... ok no? Nobody wants to pay attention to the pattern? Got it.
Every stock trade, financial investment by any republican associated with government and their family should be scrutinized for insider trading. They are financially raping the country! If nobody delivers goods to the US, the duties will be useless to attract manufacturing. Braindrain will do rest!
It's clearer than ever. Trump is here, not to boost the economy, but to destroy it. That's the plan. Musk and the lords of tech I'm watching their plan come to fruition.
France’s motto is liberty/freedom, equality, fraternity'. From when they got rid of royalty. They live by it and pretty sure they would have cut off the oligarchs a long time ago.
Shocking, a failed business man teaching the work about economics. Doesn’t even know what DOGE is doing in the US. He’s a loser, let’s go losing folks.
This is Trump trying to act like a big tough guy. The tariffs are there to punish people he doesn't like and that's all there is to it. They will not strengthen domestic anything.
Almost nothing can be from one place, some ingredients only exist in certain areas like coffee. It also takes YEARS and a lot of money to make a greenfield factory if you want to start making something. Most will just wait out the term and not even bother investing.
These are poor business decisions. GOP and Trump’s approach of imposing tariffs without investing in infrastructure and support needed for domestic manufacturing risks higher costs and long-term damage to U.S. industries.
Domestic manufacturers are just going to raise their prices. I’m already seeing it in my industry (construction.) If the market says something that used to be worth $4 is now $8, guess what? Domestic manufacturers are going to charge you $8.

Happy days are here again!!!!

I recently had a check mailed to me from the nearest "postal center" just 80 miles away.
It took 3 (THREE) weeks for the check to arrive. THREE weeks. What if those had been meds I seriously needed?

What the f*** is she talking about?
We're not at war.
And even during World War 2, no, we were not sitting home in our living rooms, making bombs

#1 stupidest? That's quite a feat, isn't it?

What’s it going to take you ask?
He shows the understanding & intelligence of a child; the arrogance of a bully; Insecure but loud and obnoxious.

Sounds like MAGA's boy, don't it?
But I do believe he is more than just mildly learning disabled. He is 100% incapable of learning because he believes he already knows it all.
They don’t care about anyone but themselves and their wealthy friends. They want free work from us, the working class.
April 5th we’ll be showing the nation,
Our disgust with this administration.
Mark your calendar. Make a sign.
Time to be loud in a protest line!
