They want to get us used to paying tariffs so they can get rid of income tax and tariffs be a huge regressive tax on those who aren't wealthy.

Ultimately here’s the only thing the idiot Felon King may be placing tariffs on…

It’s also a “war” in which the aggressor has made the first move to back off. Despite his bravado and bluster, Trump blinked. The world sees how untrustworthy AND how weak the U.S. has become within a matter of weeks.

And no doubt the same idiots cheered.

It has always been about Trump keeping Trump on the front page with headlines about Trump. That's it, that's his entire strategy.

If iPhones become made in the US, it will be automated. Nobody gets hired to screw screws.

Wait! All of the people or robots who were doing to get the tiny screws in place and the HVAC folks all working on phones! Please tell Mr. Howard Luttnick!

So how much $$$ would the American people have to come up with to pay Krasnov to back off all tariffs? And how much would that be per household?

In the 900+ pages of Project 2025, didn't anyone read between the lines of using tariff "policy" to transfer wealth from the 99% to the 1%, which is the effective result of what is happening?

Hat tip to Star Trek's George Takei who saw this coming months ago

What did Apple give him?

smithjohnny.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think they gave him money for the inauguration.

The cheering rubes will never not be Trump ass lickers that’s for sure. But the so called smart investors and people that should know better have no excuse to lap this shit up and beg for more.
He’s toying with the world and if you grovel at his feet he will go easy on you.
For now!
