It’s like he keeps forgetting he’s already told everyone about his beautiful tariffs. And then he forgets that he told everyone not to worry about the tariffs. Can you imagine what the right would have said if Biden acted this way?
Trump is a moron. No logical structure exists in anything he contrives to say or do. However, a central theme exists through the mush. That much used theme has two strands and he uses both freely. The strand A focus is retribution, and the strand B is grift.
TFG is a moron who doesn't understand tariffs, but will never admit it. He honestly thinks that they're going to wipe out the national debt & make him lots of $$$. He doesn't care how much damage he does with this bs.
Donald wants the market to crash. Wealthy investors sell stocks and buy farms and foreclosed properties for pennies on the dollar. Recessions are good for wealthy investors. Global economies crash, marshal law is imposed, attacks start on Canada and Greenland. Simple as that.
Christopher – Trying to make sense of Trump’s trade policy is like trying to find logic in a toddler’s tantrum. 🤡 He’s slapping tariffs on allies while cozying up to dictators. Make it make sense! 😤🔥
Many decades ago Trump went to China and dictated to them how much construction steel he was going to buy and what he was going to pay. China sent him packing. That is still the root of all of his tariff nonsense.
The idiot doesn't know what he is doing, he is creating a disaster, & they are not stopping him. Or he (they) knows exactly what he (they) are doing, and the disaster IS the plan. My guess, it is the latter, and it is more dangerous than the former.
🔥 EXACTLY! Trump is bending over for Putin while crushing allies like Mexico and Canada with tariffs! 💥 He’s not protecting America—he’s selling it out! 🚨 HOW is this still happening?! 🚨👊🔥
It’s not even a joke… God knows what intelligence has been compromised or gifted… I’m waiting for the Russian tanks to invade American streets…. Actually, they’ll probably be American tanks manned by Russian soldiers.
Manned by American soldiers. Russians are too stupid. The US Mikita has been indoctrinated by FOX for almost 40 years. Considering how Vets are being treated I’d like to think they would stand against Trump.
They won’t.
Zelensky got elected BECAUSE he was not corrupt. Then Trump tried to corrupt him, as Russia was moving in to attack his country. Trump was impeached because Vindman blew the whistle on extortion of aid. Our Javelin missiles were so important to their defense, kids are getting named after them.
Yes, it does...Are we ever going to get out of this? I know we are protesting, writing letters, making calls, but I'm beginning to wonder if this will be enough.
CFOTUS has had quite a number of business deals with the Russian mob as well as dealings with Putin. He is behaving as a Russian asset because I believe he and his family have been threatened with their lives! Yes it is a conspiracy theory but it might have merit.
This is what I have been thinking since 2017 when he had that meeting with that shady ass ambassador from Russia. This on top of the Steele Dossier. Americans had some fantasy driven notion of who this dude was despite how fucked his first term was.
There is no magic nor quantum physics that can turn this into some sort of genius 4D trade chess strategy. Now, who wants to buy some shares in Martian real estate!
Dude. The policy is...wake up, throw a dart at the Project2025 dartboard. Go with it. See if it sticks. There is no plan. These tariff levels are pulled out of his ass and, half the time(or more), he has no clue what he is signing. A true puppet.
He is purposely trying to crash the economy so the elites can buy up stocks and real estate at much lower rates so when everything recovers and goes back up, they will be even richer and we will be even poorer.
Trump utilizes the mob technique of a very public threat followed by revoking it with the threat still implied, while behind the scenes offering a "deal" that only benefits him personally.
He makes his trade policies based on the last person who gave him advice. That's why it changes so much, he's talking to different people. And our economy gets whip-lashed.
It makes perfect sense if you consider that his goal is not improved trade conditions...but destabilizing the economy to recession/depression so that those with large gobs of money to invest can buy up cheap real estate (land, houses, those gov't buildings in DC he wants to sell off.)
His rich billionaire buddies get the tax breaks to spend on the fire sale of our lives, property, etc. AND he can weaken the country as a whole making it easier for Putin to get what he wants. THAT makes sense. Vile sense, evil sense, but there's logic to it.
Trump45 had smart, rational people to keep him between the rails. Trump47 has hired a bunch of sycophants, who won't tell him no. Now the whole country is going off the rails.
Everyone knows his trade policy makes absolutely no sense. But he doesn't fucking care - about anything but himself. All he intends here is wild chaos so that all attention is on him, whether negative or positive. HE IS A PSYCHOPATH.
So why is Trump so keen on taxing imports? the tariffs would create the greatest engine of corruption in history, an institutionalized kleptocracy where import-based business lives or dies by Trump’s favor. Musk’s imported parts might be exempted while GM’s are not. https://www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...
Sell stock, announce tariffs and other bullshit, tank stock prices, buy stocks at the bottom, remove tariffs, and remove other bullshit, and stock prices rise. Sell and repeat. Sound about right?
You take a senile, stupid and old nepo-baby. Have him be Mafioso adjacent his whole life, which means no contract is a contract, his word is NOT his bond and he requires personal tribute at all times. Give him the highest most powerful office in the land and let him cook.
Next step is civil unrest that leads to Marshall law. He is doing this on purpose. We have the biggest fight of our lives coming. My question is when the time comes will American troops fire on American citizens?
To make you weak. This way you’re easier to control. This is what every dictator does when they take over. It’s either fuck with the markets and make you poor or just start killing people. Killing people wouldn’t work….yet.
Peter Thiel says they need to burn it all to the ground to cause death and destruction of the little people so then the tech bros and billionaires can build the world back the way they want it. It’s the playbook of the dark enlightenment.
It makes sense if you view the entirety as insider trading:
are you “in the know” (Billionaire circuit) for when he’ll place tariffs? Market drops/buy stocks in the dip.
Are you “in the know” for when he’ll remove tariffs? Market rises/sell stocks at a big profit.
Rinse. Repeat.
Here you go. The tariffs serve these purposes for Trump: 1) enable him to try to exact retribution on any head of state who's crossed him or failed to be sufficiently flattering. 2) he can back out of them while claiming made-up massive concessions won over the countries ("Tough guy Trump... /1
does it again! Never will Canada / Mexico take advantage of us again!!"). And 3) it's the perfect vehicle for insider trading for him and his buddies. /2

the chaos is the point
“You know what solves it? When the economy crashes, when the economy goes to total hell and everything is a disaster,” Mr Trump said in 2014.
“Then you’ll have, you know, you’ll have riots to go back to where we were when we were great”.
At the base of this is a desire to replace income tax with tariffs. But he's such an idiot , he doesn't know how to implement this. It won't work but he's going to destroy us trying anyway. 60 minutes had Robert Lighthizer who is Trumps guru on this.
I accept the dare. Here it is: Confuse and obfuscate to make people give up any hope of understanding what he is doing and tune out. When truth is unknowable, narrative and force rule.
Pay attention to the group of people around Him. Elon and He are lightning distractors. Look what's happening in the background. Trump is keeping journalists busy! It’s not trade whatever
Well since neither he nor Elon nor creepy Vance can’t make any sense of Trump’s trade policy. Trump is fundamentally very stupid. There are seven year olds who have more of an understanding of economics than Trump.
A policy suggests that there’s an end result contemplated by both Trump and Musk beyond I want people scared of me and to pick up pieces of failed businesses for pennies on the dollar
I don't believe DJT is really so dumb as to believe that the other country "pays the tariffs". I think he's purely acting when he says that. But what IS the real reason he wants to implement tariffs? Aside from increasing the cost of goods, do he or his cronies get richer off tariffs?🤷🏼♀️I don't get it
According to Morning Joe, he's trying to revolutionize & rebuild the economy so we make absolutely everything we need here & we can shut out the rest of the world. So either everything will be unaffordable or people will become slaves to industry. And all of this will take decades to achieve so....
If any form of rebuilding was planned they would be supporting science and expanding research. They would be building infrastructure and supporting universities to develop talent.
That's what the last administration did.
Simple. He doesn't give a rat's patoutie about the details. He's just a bully who will escalate as long as he thinks people will give in. He's also a coward so he backs down when firmly challenged.
People who understand the stock market are at least making some money dealing with shorts. As far as 401 k’s though and the casual investor, you’re being REAMED!

He's looking to make money. Buying and selling stocks and/or making deals with companies to give them exemptions if they give him money. It's the only explanation that makes sense.
“Self-sufficiency is a path to economic decline. No country, even if you’re the United States or China, can prosper without the world markets getting inputs from the rest of the world.” - Dani Rodrik, Professor of International Political Economy
You are questioning the motives of a nepo titty baby who bankrupted businesses, stiffed all his creditors, and has turned the Oval Office into a late night cable tv flea market with his bibles, coins, gold shoes, watches, etc?!?
It’s obvious he will destroy the US because we ALL didn’t vote for him.
The more power he loses, the more desperate he becomes to retain and increase it.
He's in full panic mode right now as he realizes he's lost support around the world. That makes him extra dangerous.
Trump is using fraud, waste, and abuse of his power to turn our country into an autocracy. We got to stop it before it is too late. But we need representatives in Congress and the Courts to step up and do their job as dictated by their oath to the Constitution.
Trump is an unstable, malicious, greedy narcissist who is so convinced of his superiority he refuses to listen to facts and will blame everyone but himself when it all comes crashing down?
Can someone get his mental health checked! He's completely off his rocker. He's killing the stock market and people are losing serious money, shitting on the Vets, threatening a take over of other Country's, adding tariffs, destroying relations with other Country's, and siding with Russia. WTF !!!!!
Follow the money. It’s a shake down. You want your company, state, or country to be exempt from the tariffs then pay 5 million for a private audience at Mar a Lago, or “invest” in Trump’s crypto. There are so many ways now to pay Trump off. That’s what it’s all about.
Simple,...
track 1) apply tariff tax to every citizen, give that money to rich mates in tax breaks
track2) give family/friends/donors a heads up on when you're going to tank markets and when you're going to reverse, so they can profit off both sides
It so simple, even that imbecile gets it.
I Dared!
He's a sadist. He gets off on making people suffer. Makes him feel like a big man. He's a narcissist, so he gets his needs met when they come begging for mercy. He's a sociopath. He cares nothing for others, even Americans who will be hurt by a trade war.
Tariffs are 25% on Mondays that are on even-number dates.
On odd-number-date Mondays the Tariffs are modulo 25 the Stock-Market closing on the previous Friday.
Any questions?
"Flooding the Zone with BS" Distractions threats anger and fear. The Hitlerization of America. Chaos confusion and cruelty are the point. Being polite and playing by the rules is for losers and suckers now. Really good people need to consider when doing really bad things becomes needed.
Worse - he clearly gets off on people suffering or dying as a direct result of something he did. Makes him feel like a god. Same with Elon. They’re twisted mfers.
What if it's all about market manipulation? Trump's people tip off traders who make short or long hedges, based on their knowledge of how the markets will react to tariff news. Then they get rich at our expense. Too simple??
He's conjured up this bullshit fentanyl excuse because, otherwise, he would have no avenue for an executive order.
Additionally, he wants our resources and is trying to annex us. He said as much. I also believe he's on a bit of a revenge tour for some past narcissistic wounding.
I can’t and I won’t . As a Canadian, I’m so fucking tired of being held hostage to his whims. Bring it. We will do more than survive. We will flourish.
Challenge accepted. Trump places Tariffs on nations we have a high volume of trading with. Then the Tariffs get collected- from whom doesn't matter to Trump as long as it is in cash- and they go in to the government's coffers. Now it is where cash flows so freely to Musk and Trump.
I thought I heard they are not allowing the border control to collect the tax but rather Trump is creating a new office to personally collect it. That seems kind of unseemly. So basically you allowed the foxes into the hen house. The tariff proceeds will never be utilized for taxpayer programs.
It does not matter that the majority of the shit that comes out Trump’s mouth don’t make sense or are lies. Faux news on tv, radio and social media continue to praise the moron and the MAGA Cult continue to think he’s the greatest.

He doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about 100% of the time
and thinks it will get a
NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
He has bad ideas and bad people to back him up. That’s all it is.
I'm guessing he's gonna start messing w then soon too.
They won’t.
The Führer couldn’t dismantle democracy and America without the participation, active or apathetic, of the power and money craving GOP.
They too are traitors.
Nationwide tariffs with friendly business partners can never pass national security levels required for solo presidential tariffs.
These will get tossed out in court

2. Help Russia (see #1)

He’s not fit to serve.

Tariffs are like kidnappers cuttung the finger off the victim. If you want the rest of your economy back, you have to pay a ransom.
Preferably in crypto currency.
Explained.
With each moronic tweet, or any time he dials ANYTHING back, they can do it again.
Makes perfect sense to me.
It doesn’t make sense because it’s not supposed to. Think Joker from Chris Nolan’s Batman. There is no plan.
Destroy the economy of the country that was ( was!! ) backing Ukraine.
Bonus points for destroying civilian government from the inside.

Go long on the market
Announce tariffs are paused
Cash and repeat
