It is weird - now that donvict has “won”, his stupid base now thinks the economy is great. And donvict has not even slithered his way into power yet. I bet more than a few of his brainstems think that the price of eggs are now “great” again.
These same idiots are going to have to find someone not themselves, not conservatives and definitely not donvict when all his stupid policies come home to roost and start eating their faces…donflation will be a very, very real thing quite soon, it seems.
He said he would impose the tariffs if he can’t hammer out a deal on illegal immigration and drug smuggling. In other words he’s leaving a way out
There’s no way out. USA is responsible for their own borders. Canada as a matter of fact has reciprocal agreements with USA law enforcement organizations.
What a windbag! I wonder why I was so reluctant to have Canada enter into a free trade agreement with the US because eventually Darth Vader gets into power. With our current trade agreements, you can’t unilaterally impose tariffs without implications. Bilateral trade between Canada and the US survived the first Rump presidency and it will outlive him.
This is going to really throw a fucking bomb on the WTO. Like complete collapse of international trade adjudication and just viscous multilateral trade wars. US will have neither imports or exports. The farmers are going to be pissed when their market collapses due to retaliatory tariffs.
Last time this happened, they were thrilled to take it to the chin since it meant ‘helping Trump’. I foresee them cheering this on too, even as they fall into poverty and have to sell the farm.
some will. others will delude themselves that it’s everyone’s fault except themselves and their choice to follow a malicious fool.
Time to get a shit ton of stickers with smug Trump saying “I did this!”.
Does anyone know where to buy these in bulk?
You know what? I believe him
I’m half pleased.
I was pissed when he won, mad that this madman and his regime was in control of America.
Now I don’t think they have the capacity to control anything, and they have more of a shot at destabilizing modern society than ruling it.
They should keep building the tower of shit higher. It’s a great building material.
That might have a different meaning if I thought you’d read the article.
There will be lots of places to put the new Trump “I did that” stickers.
Does someone make these? I’d like to buy them in bulk.
I kinda want to do this just to get some petty revenge on the fuckers that plastered gas pumps with Biden stickers (which they then had to remove when gas fell back down to normal prices eventually lol)
I had to laugh when I saw those being scraped off post-haste, because it actually looked fantastic (For Biden that is! And the fucking morons that plastered “FUCK BIDEN” on t-shirts, flags and so on - even in front of children - didn’t want to make Biden look good, dog forbid!), given the prices at the time.
Stupid scandals should get ‘-a-Lago’ pinned to their arse.
Tariff-a-Lago is a go.
Trump vastly misunderstands how foreign dependent America’s bullshit economy of e-slop, finance, and exploiting health issues is.
A trade war right after he kicks out the only people who actually make shit in America would be fucking hilarious if it wasn’t so fucking dire.
Many small but important parts come from China nowadays. Parts we use directly, and those that end up in things people buy: screws and bolts, electronic parts, all kinds of plastic products. The US no longer has the machines or manpower to produce those parts on their own, and will still have to buy them in China.
Brace for inflation in the US like you have last seen in the 1920s.
No, he doesn’t but his policy writers do know. It’s called shock doctrine.
This aligns perfectly with a bit I read that said that social movements and protest movements largely form and organize under progressive / non-repressive political situations where the people aren’t so busy fighting for their basic survival that they can get more involved in politics.
Cool cool cool, looks like it’s trade war time. Surely this’ll be to the benefit of anyone.
And right after deporting all the farmers, too! Trump speed runs America’s first famine since the great depression.
Who knew the Great in MAGA was the Great Depression all this time.
Are you going to add to them if someone arrests Netanyahu?
Emperor of stupid.
Dumbass.
