It’s time to move on from the heartbreaks and desolation of Americas 20th century!

Trump: "From 1789 to 1913, we were a tariff-backed nation and the US was proportionately the wealthiest it has ever been ... then in 1913, for reason unknown to mankind, they established the income tax."

He is the most senile and incompetent man I have ever seen. He makes T. Tuberville look like a genius. The Markets are tanking, and so is our economy. All be design.

Next, he will end Social Security payments to achieve his next objective.

Wtaf?

bluzcoh.bsky.social•4 days ago

Then we had WWI, a pandemic, and the Great Depression. So tariffs helped a lot. I’m sure he’s wrong too and who cares what the economic strategies were 100+ years ago? Economics is vastly different, no?

bluzcoh.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yeah, we need some old, out of touch, rich, white men to take us back to the times of which the reminisce, which were literally hell for so many others. Good times! Not.

michelesmwe.bsky.social•4 days ago

The reason was pretty well known: to get the rich to pay taxes.

laurovela.bsky.social•4 days ago

"for reason unknown to mankind"

Yup, those economists just pulled the income tax out of thin air... It's unknowable why they did it??? 🤷‍♂️

seedyem.bsky.social•4 days ago

Are we going to see an attempt to repeal the Income Tax? I've heard some of the silo-ed herd say "but the income tax is illegal!" so the narrative is out there.

I refuse to listen to him, just reading the headline here. So does this mean we will have tariffs and no income tax like in the good old days?

jannnwi.bsky.social•4 days ago

Can i just say how much I dislike this man.

You definitely can say it. I suspect it’ll look something like this, which is what I’m thinking: m&@$#%f$&ing $%^]{ $&%^+{# …

on-tannhausergate.bsky.social•4 days ago

Everything about Tariffs is instituting a national sales tax on the poor and middle class and cutting the income tax for the wealthy

bjk027.bsky.social•4 days ago

You can't help but look back at photos of ordinary, everyday Americans from reconstruction up through WW1 and think, "My god, look at the prosperity!"

My friends the days of cheap stuff is over. Who is going to build all the cars, ships, chips, phones ,chickens,beef, clothes in America? This is a declaration of war on ourselves.

ronaldsnelgrove.bsky.social•4 days ago

Is this a prelude to repealing income tax?

A government with almost no money can't provide services to its people and that seems to be his administration's plan.

Yeah, the heartbreak of the 20th century, infant mortality reduced by 50+%, Adult lifespan increased by 20 years, smallpox & polio eradicated, American standard of living and wealth has never been higher (see below).

Invention of the automobile, radio, television, internet.

Such a disaster.

New Hitler: "Folks, Germany did great from 1933 to late 1944. Trains ran on time, we got rid of undesirable non-Germans and Communists who were destroying our country -- lebensraum was up 1,000,000 percent!! How 'bout a 4th Reich?"
I guess my point is the risks of ignoramuses cherry picking history

leonalee.bsky.social•4 days ago

it is so irritating hearing him speak about history & laws. because it's the first time he's heard of it, from the teleprompter. like hearing a lazy 4th grader pretend they actually read the whole book for the book report.

mar-din.bsky.social•4 days ago

Except he actually copied his report from the dumb kid next to him.

His intended audience for this rambling are the aggrieved, unwashed, and ignorant in his base who desperatelywant to emulate his lifestyle and think he will give that to them, along with the wealthy who know he's full of shit but need those same people to stay on their team and keep working for free

What an absolute idiot! His dementia is adding to his stupidity nicely.

dashamarush.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oligarchs and Robber Barrons all want a return to the Guilded Age.
No Income Tax.
No labor laws.
No environmental laws.
No food safety laws.
No Anti-trust laws.
No consumer protection laws.

100% unchecked monopolies.

drillbit57.bsky.social•4 days ago

So far they are making progress on these objectives.

juliatowe.bsky.social•3 days ago

What Trump fails to say is that was the wealthiest time period for the Top 2%. The average American was wealthiest after WWII -- specifically the 50s and 60s!

sandor22.bsky.social•4 days ago

Word salad same old crap. A lot of dates and decades and centuries discussed, none of which are relevant

At least now we can bracket the dates for when America WAS great, and apparently it hasn't been during his lifetime.

The .01% were proportionally the richest in the world.

snowmein.bsky.social•4 days ago

Does he have a clue why they called it the American century?

sanmigueldolan.bsky.social•4 days ago

Well, really. From 1789 to 1913 we stole all the land from the natives. Then used free slave labor. So, economic model based on theft, slavery, and war.

rbnyc.bsky.social•4 days ago

Didn't the McKinley tariffs cause the Panic of 1893? And wasn't the structure of our modern economy, designed to prevent that outcome, developed in 1913 through the Revenue Act of 1913 (establishing a national income tax) along with founding the Federal Reserve Act also in 1913?
