Probably, he didn’t know about Pearl Harbor. I just saw his formula for his tariffs; I have a masters
in math—no variables defined. Looks like it defining the slope of a line.
He has the vocabulary of a 3 rd grader and never reads anything. Including things like are defense and help for people.
It's his addled brain. He can't help it. The only word he can remember is tariffs, and he keeps using it, hoping to impress people. It's not a sophisticated policy.
Apropos for Trump, the idea that tariffs were low prior to 1929 is deeply stupid. The Republicans passed the Forney-McCumber Act of 1921, which was almost as bad as Smoot Hawley. The only reason Smoot Hawley didn’t do more harm is that the horse was already shot dead.
He’s dumb AF. In my life I could have never imagined we would have a president that was such a horrible human being. There is literally nothing good or admirable about him. Every single bad quality a person could have, he checks the box.
Is it more of a scandal that he has an Ivy League BA without knowing about any of the panics, recessions, and depressions from 1785 to 1913 or that he has apparently never seen "Ferris Bueller's Day Off?"
Funny because I thought the high tariffs made the Great Depression far worse according to a consensus of economists over 80 years. But what do they know, right?
His new billionaire friends told him about the Gilded Age and he absorbed about 5% of what he heard, understood none of it, like the parts about how rich and powerful the very top rich guys were. That’s why he keeps calling this his “Golden Age”.
He once referred to himself as a “very stable genius”. I’ll add to that with… “from an emperor that has no clothes”. Fascism and authoritarianism mixed with oligarchy billionaires, in control of the White House? What could go wrong? 😠
