Just ask yourself every time Trump does something which billionaire it helps. Tariff’s on steel have nothing to do with helping us. It’s a favor for friends. Closed CFPB? Happy bankers and credit card companies. It’s all a cash grab.

People need to think GM and Caterpillar. A D11 will be 25% more to make or about $100,000. Making it unaffordable to make in America. $3000 on your new car or Truck more. Manufacturing will have to move to Mexico or Canada.
Certainly wasn’t an issue 4 years ago to use inferior Russian metal to build his wall. There’s no way a typical sheetrock saw should be able to cut through steel.
Waiting to find out if he’s gonna undo Bidens blocking of the sale of US Steel Corporation to a Japanese entity. Lots of miners in my neck of the woods feeling pretty unsure of what’s to come for this area.
Maybe NUCOR steel will be the beneficiary. Largest steel manufacturer in North America. They also have significant investments in natural gas and natural gas extraction.
Fuck Schwab. I wrote to Visa this morning asking them to rethink any financial platform with Elon Musk and X (which is backed by Russian oligarchs/Putin and the Saudis).
Make the penny the symbol of the Resistance.
1) It symbolizes the common man over the billionaire.
2) It has the visage of our greatest president on it.
3) While he can order no more be made, he won't ever eliminate them. A metaphor for his reckless term in office.
It's not just the finished product, a lot of Australian steel goes to USA to be then turned into end product, e.g. like roofing, for places such as California. All this while running a trade deficit of about 2:1 with Australia, the OngeItMan is going to run out of feet to shoot.
Voila! Well he’s hardly hanging out with the homeless under many bridges tonight desperately seeking shelter from the elements that bears responsibility from the top down - good owl Abe would be rolling in his grave if he knew it today!
Was researching cross border steel sales today. Five major categories of products. 🇨🇦 imports from 🇺🇸and 🇺🇸 imports from
🇨🇦. Workers in both countries will suffer.
You are absolutely correct.
All part of the plan to privatize agencies in the government to be run by loyal friends and our democracy becomes an oligarchy.
The US doesn't have that many 'businesses' run by GOVTS, but what it COULD do, is force smaller ones (MEDIA for example) to close down or refuse licences/increase fees to those it wants to make vulnerable (liquor licenses/DMV etc)
Just a couple off the top of my head.. but yeah, could be done.
Exactly. He has never gave a damn about the regular citizens of America ever & never will. So those who voted for this lunatic thanks for selling us all out for a pipe dream you fell for because you’re all gonna be feeling the pain of losing benefits you paid into !
There's nothing he's done or doing that will help the majority of his voters. It's all for his millionaire and billionaire friends and to keep them out of prison. I just hope I live long enough to see it happen.
It’s a step toward Elon Musk establishing his X WeChat banking operation. Virtually everything Musk is doing is a conflict of interest in one regard or another. He wants to consolidate power in every aspect of civilian operations.
Cell service, AI, Banking, Health Care, Social Media. Ever since this data breach I’ve been notified my passwords have been compromised in all of these areas I don’t think it’s coincidental.
I highly advise anyone to steer clear of anything Elon is attached to. He’s on a power trip and is capable of anything. He stole money from Trump supporters overtly on X when he unverified them and is probably is in the process or soon will feed medical records into AI to expand neurolink.
Bleeding us dry and laughing while they do it. They are going to strip even more away, handing more money and more power to the super rich. Leaving us NOTHING. How much more do we take? How many more people have to die working themselves into the ground so these parasites can live in luxury?
Follow the money! I am guessing they are all paying Trump a “fee”/pay to play on a very large scale. Trump wants to be as rich as his tech bros. And I have always suspected he is/was heavily in debt. So he is selling off the Presidency. He never has cared about this country or anyone in it.
He made deals with the billionaire fraternity to gain the White House, he owes them. But can he make and keep his deals and is he bright enough to play at their level? Most of his past victims have been less powerful.
I know several people who work for Bombardier and they know that steel tariffs will adversely affect Americans more than Canadians.
Your country is presently being run by a lunatic and an imbecile and both are interchangeable.
It helps Trump when he can play the market with the announcements as to the imposing & withholding of the tariffs. Any tariffs actually. Ultimate insider trading.
I've been saying felon 47 is like the conman that comes to a small town, creating division & chaos amongst the ppl. Once the smoke clears, he's skipped town with all their money.
I think it’s easy to double down on your convictions and much harder to admit you’re wrong and this is a really compassionate well thought out argument for the latter. Thanks for sharing.
And just like that, Pres.Elon & VP Trump are dismantling all agencies in order to help billionaire corporations.
No protection for us going forward.
We must go to the streets! Use the Declaration of independence & our 1st Amen. rights to demand a new government be formed.
This one is destructive.
He also needs to cripple us, the American people. E l o n said that things would get difficult for a while. This is all part of weakening us, beating us down financially, physically mentally healthwise, psychologically…. Once the wars begin, we will all have no money to spend for ourselves.
This is all deliberate. It is intended to crash the economy, to kill off many people around the world and eventually in the US. Maga is a death cult. Seven Mountain Mandate. Four Horsemen.
We need to fight or we are all doomed.
Can’t help wondering if he’s going to literally sell the US to Putin. Is that why he’s trying to absorb Canada, Greenland, Panama, and now Gaza — to sweeten the pot?
Lol. Trump voters actually thought he cared about them! Trump only cares about money and the people that can give it to him. He also proven a wealthy person can take bribes too
Ofcourse Puck face is doing favors for his billionaire pal by imposing tariffs on steal and aluminum. He's hanging out with the big boys now. He left behind maga Bannon, Gaetz and all the rest of them, they already did their job for him, he doesn't need them anymore.
In the meantime, do whatever you can to push back. Close your Amazon account, switch from a bank to a customer-owned credit union, spend your money at local and/or privately-owned businesses rather than chains, purchase products with less plastic. What are your ideas?
Tarriffs on steel are very much a mixed bag for billionaires. This is the 2nd time Trump's done it, and the first time it didn't really help American steel companies (which aren't owned by billionaires anyway). Unless you're talking about Chinese billionaires.
Russell Vought is behaving like his own Jewish stereotypes as he dismantles CFPB. Donald Trump seems to like fellow fascists who are conniving and sneaky, excessively cheap, afraid to confront.

But what is Musk’s end game? It is not greed. He is already the richest cockroach on the planet by far. He does not need DOGE to punish anyone. His money can buy as much vengeance as he wants. A shit ton of gov data seems to be the goal. But what long term power does that give him?
The real reasons are always pretty obvious. I always wonder what the "cover" reasons are? Like with CFPB... what are they *saying* as the reason to shut it down? Or do they just not care and come right out and say "yep... we want to help the bankers steal your money" ?!?
I have one credit card to finish paying off (1 year, no interest). If I don't have the money in the bank to pay for it, I won't buy it. At this point in my life, I have a home, a reliable car, and a part-time job as a Title I tutor. My job is guaranteed next school year.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Especially don't tell about Master Musk's deal with VISA to make his X into an online bank to rival Paypal!!
#ProtectInequality!
Kindly keep us ultra-super-mega wealthies straight!
Our protegee sold Paypal to our colleagues, Peter Thiel, Luke Nosek, & Max Levchin many, many years ago!
Buying & selling is how we build our wealth & continue to be worthier than thou!
#InsiderTradingisNOTaCrime!
Financial crimes like this should be dealt with harshly, tens of millions in fines just for a hundred in unjustifiable fees.
But Hunter Biden's laptop...
He brokered a deal for them to invest without buying. That’s why the tariffs. Gotta make his Japanese friends money.

Bectal (sic)Steel on the West Coast & knew the biz from one end to the other.

Straight out of Putin's model & what he did to Russia when took power.
Parcel out the 'pie' amongst 'loyal' friends, take a share and throw a few out windows to keep the rest in line.

But let's not forget: white supremacy is worth the costs to MAGA
It's never average Americans, the broke, the old that spent years working. It's NEVER us.
It's not hard to see.
The billionaires bought the presidency
Trump now reports to the billionaires - they OWN him

Instead of working quietly and doing no harm we will get an Abysmal failure, Orange Bozo wannabe.
they will destroy this country, then find another to rape and pillage. the world needs to pay attention to the rapid rise of power-mongers.
They are 100% consistent.
Watch the money. Fascism is Always about the money funneling into as few hands as possible.
There is no ideological underpinning besides that.
Your country is presently being run by a lunatic and an imbecile and both are interchangeable.
Ban brand names in your house and learn to make some things on your own. Homemade bread takes a while, but it's so much better than prepackaged!

It doesn't seem like a BAD idea, but I can't help but wonder if there's a nefarious motive.

Freaking out about the WHAT. Fuck the “what.”
Start thinking about the WHY.
That’s what matters. WHY is he dismantling everything. De-regulating everything. Flooding the zone.
The why is all that matters.
Period
That's how the narrative needs to be presented ALL THE TIME
American voters are m o r o n s.
