God I am so excited for his base to find out what expensive groceries actually look like

Better think of a way for little Timmy to start earning some money if he wants to eat, folks!

rugbyfan.bsky.social•152 days ago

I'm not, it is going to impact marginalized people harder than anyone else.

I don't give a F about Maga folks. I genuinely do care about people who are already struggling bc of this countries' systemic racism, homophobia, sexism and bigotry. Now? They're about to be burdened w/this crap.

realdanbukowski.bsky.social•152 days ago

So we will be getting tariffs and still getting taxed at the same rate on income…

davenlsn.bsky.social•152 days ago

But doesn't Kushner already collect funds from external sources?

BRIBE RECEIVING SERVICE FOR BRIBES, BRIBES

madeincanada.bsky.social•152 days ago

So now Americans will pay taxes to the IRS and the INCREASED COST OF GOODS (due to Tariffs) to the ERS?
Trump is lying when he says the Tariffs are paid by other countries.
That's not the way Tariffs work.
Is Trump creating the ERS for his own personal slush fund?

I don't think he's lying, I think he's just THAT stupid.

luzi44.bsky.social•152 days ago

There had to be some distraction from the release of the Jack Smith report and the confirmation hearings.. This will work just fine, utterly senseless and yet people start discussing it.

elkmovie.bsky.social•152 days ago

He's going to split CBP into separate customs and border protection agencies and rename the former the "external revenue service"? Seems inefficient

smut.one•152 days ago

And the latter to Stazi?

mynahleague.bsky.social•152 days ago

Funding for this new agency? Watch prices shoot up based on this post. Idiocy. So now NAFTA that he touted is weak? Gimme an effing break.

jbrownblue.bsky.social•152 days ago

So, he plans to impose more tax oversight on the corporations who import goods and pass the tariffs onto consumers. Wait until DOGE hears about this one 😂.

inkana.bsky.social•152 days ago

I am happy to announce the start of a BIG AND BEAUTIFUL SLUSH FUND! to use for all my STUPID IDEAS! MAGA!

This is so countries have an infrastructure and banking system to send their bribes directly to Trump.

WTAF is this hell?!

sophieluther.bsky.social•151 days ago

So.... Customs?

mlyngrant.bsky.social•152 days ago

Grapes are going to cost $50. Everything is going to cost an arm and a leg. That is if they manage to get the external whatever off the ground.

adamjschmidt.bsky.social•152 days ago

For me the best part is his excoriation of "soft and pathetically weak Trade (sic) agreements" when one of his few successes was renegotiating an update to NAFTA and rebranding it the USMCA. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

meetzow.bsky.social•152 days ago

Trump literally thinks tariffs are tribute lmao

riffandrock.bsky.social•152 days ago

ERS, Space Force, the baffoon sure loves shrinking government.

A great way to start govt spending cut

mukgeoduck.bsky.social•152 days ago

Hell yeah! The government is going to start paying us but only if we're worthy. No government handouts for the poors! 🙄

paulofarmer.bsky.social•152 days ago

Maybe uk should start taxing US companies likewise. A trump tax.

eekyrich.bsky.social•152 days ago

then uk people will pay numnuts

justalassie.bsky.social•151 days ago

We already have an agency it's called Customs Border Protection. the CBP reviews the paperwork, performs occasional audits, and then collects any applicable tariffs or penalties as well as any administrative fees. Finally, CBP deposits any revenue from tariffs

holdendisperra.bsky.social•152 days ago

Not seeing the issue here

mattnc.bsky.social•152 days ago

That's where the real grift opportunities will lie

donaldrohrbacher.bsky.social•152 days ago

the Orange Idiot still doesn't understand how tariffs work.

They are gonna rename healthcare “death care” and declare Jesus said it was bad and we are all gonna die in the dumbest way possible.

I’m talking “cut open your chest to wipe Lysol wipes on your lungs” dumb.

lordbusinessman.bsky.social•152 days ago

Basically my model with any of these is to first ask, will this take an act of Congress, and if yes, it ain't happening

sababausa.bsky.social•150 days ago

Tbf the president can establish executive offices with no delegated legislative or judicial powers, but with coordinate powers within the executive, which is what W. did with the Office of Homeland Security

Trump might do that and pretend it’s a real agency

sababausa.bsky.social•150 days ago

Trump did that in his 2017–21 term too

sonofherby.bsky.social•152 days ago

He could split the Customs part out of Customs and Border Protection, make them two separate entities. I guess. The incoming guy probably doesn't care about that part of the job as long as there are brown people to terrorize.

mom2yellowlabs.bsky.social•152 days ago

Yeah, he can’t just create a whole new agency in the federal government by Executive Order.

cp3cpa.bsky.social•152 days ago

ERS? That’s apt.

sheluv13.bsky.social•152 days ago

In all seriousness: if you have any investments - talk to your banker about how to bullet proof yourself against this insanity.

nomadtx.bsky.social•152 days ago

Nevermind the fact that the “external revenue service” has existed since July 31, 1789 when George Washington signed legislation creating the US Customs Service which is now the CBP.

westernbirding.com•152 days ago

Will he then deduct the subsidies he hands out to businesses destroyed by the tariffs?

reluctantpoliticia.bsky.social•152 days ago

He still doesn't understand that Tariffs are a tax on the end user. How does a man like this ever run a business let alone a country?

snowrilla.bsky.social•152 days ago

Run a business? 😂😂💀💀

the-barely-jew.bsky.social•152 days ago

This "small government" guy keeps opening up new departments

lafourchette.bsky.social•152 days ago

And does he now just bestow power on these new unofficial ‘departments’? Where is congress on all of this?

fermispairofsocks.bsky.social•152 days ago

He expects/thinks Congress will just do what he wants.

the-barely-jew.bsky.social•152 days ago

Going the way of the Roman Senate

mitch-henke.bsky.social•152 days ago

I'm so excited to see how badly the economy tanks. Tariffs to cut all trade, export millions of laborers. We're going to be lucky to have food in a grocery store come this summer

antitractionist.bsky.social•152 days ago

We’re going to finally get what we deserve!!

riskres.bsky.social•152 days ago

All show to make it seem like someone is collecting tariffs. Now his social media acolytes will further the lie and 1/2 the country will believe it. Amazing!

tomoljenkins.bsky.social•152 days ago

alinamarilina.bsky.social•152 days ago

#adolftrump “Those who make money out of us with trade”
Well, that’s TRADE, someone sells to you and earn money and then you sell to someone else and make money.
It’s too stupid, there are no words enough, you have to make up a new vocabulary to describe this level of stupidity.

tfarr4.bsky.social•152 days ago

Hey Trump. tariffs are paid by American companies moron.

silverwitch.bsky.social•152 days ago

More bureaucracy. Ellen are you listening?

stevezorowitz.bsky.social•152 days ago

He obviously does not know that Customs already exists.

kalkanswimmer.bsky.social•152 days ago

Is the talking about import duties? Since DOGE is trying to reduce government size, will this be collected by the Imperial Bank of Trump, address: Maralago, Palm Beach, FL?

citizensavage.bsky.social•152 days ago

Ohh, this is all going to get exceedingly stupid, right

rhoneleah.bsky.social•152 days ago

He just says nonsensical bullshit that sounds good to stupid people.

kentindell.bsky.social•152 days ago

Is he always going to sign off with that slogan? How long before his staff have to heil him with a salute?
