    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.

    I thought tariffs were already pouring in? It’s almost as if this guy is lying.

    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!!

    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.

    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

    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.

    It’s a great time to remove people who refuse to see the emperor has no clothes from your life.

    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.

      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!”

    Nothing means anything anymore, you can just write and say whatever you want and half of the population will believe what you say, the other half will cry out about fake news.

    When will the aliens finally attack earth to bring us destruction and unity?

      I think they’re too busy watching our media streams for entertainment. Or they haven’t realized they switched from fiction to fact some time ago.
