    Do you have a source for the first one on Jan 29? I can’t find the first tweet on Twitter or MAGA Twitter, and I had to scroll a lot to make it that far back.

    We can’t be playing the fake game like they do. He has enough shit spewing out of his face sphincter to post real hypocrisy

    I’m starting to think the tariffs are just another one of his grifter scams. He was going to offer foreign governments a deal “send me a million bucks and I’ll make sure your country doesn’t have to pay the extra tariffs”. China threw a wrench into it all by not even feigning interest in dealing with him.

      He has always been obsessed with tariffs, even when he had no political aspirations. At no point in time has he ever had a correct comprehension of how they actually work

      I think it’s much more likely a way to gatekeep a vast portion of the economy. Tariff exemptions for sale

    unfortunately every single wrong/false/bullshit lie that spews from his face anus like diarrhea from a firehose is basically the literal word of god gospel to the hordes of brainless moronic maga sheep, no matter how many laughably blatant contradictions you point out

    we have always been at war with eurasia

      You’re hitting the nail right on the head. You’re not the type that the Republicans like, they like their people not as educated, I believe the Cheeto said that once or twice before.

    It really is like crypto scams. Just make them believe that its all okay and they will be rich. Meanwhile he extracts as much as possible while the scam is still going and in the end there will be one big rugpull.

        It was that or martial lord. A cheeky nod to tRUMPs fake christianity and holy wars. However I thought he’d not have the mental capacity to string that together.

      Eric? Come on now, he’d obviously tap his other kid (no, not Ivanka, didn’t mean “tap” in that sense) for the role so it’s still his name in the news.

    I really wish truth mattered. It takes so little effort to look at a graph of the stock market and see the exact date of a severe crash. It’s just now recovering to close to previous levels and that coincides with the dumb fuck backing off the tariffs.

    When the Market’s Up: Mine. When It’s Down: Yours.

    Reminds me of the “pep talk” we got from our bosses recently. You know what they really mean when they say “we need to pull together as a team” and why they never say it when there’s extra money.

    Oh yeah this has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ECONOMIC LODE* STONE TRUMP PUT AROUND THE COUNTRY’S NECK. Just a coincidence that the stock market and economy are tanking after implementing tariffs, damn Biden fucking with the economy!!

      Well, the first one is Drumpf itself pissing its pants with joy and boasting. The second is Drumpf handing its phone to an aide, saying sth like: “you need to explain to them that this is not my fault, I’m still the best!”

    Yes, that’s right, his absurd tariffs will really hit home soon - but certainly not in the way he imagines. The US citizens will have to pay the price.

      Nah, hes already making exceptions left and right while reaching out to China to start talks.

      Stores have a 7 week lag from basically now before they run out of goods. He will have folded in every meaningful way by then. There will be a lot of tough talk and basically very little accomplished.
