Trump is such a covfefe piece of shit.
Gee, tariffs cause inflation? I was informed otherwise by trusted felons.

Someone post the Eric Andre shooting Hannibal meme.
no u
Good point. Note to future self: It needs to be in reverse because Trump is undoing it.
I still have my phone set to autocorrect that to covfefe.
Create a problem, sell the solution. Second oldest trick in the book.
t: “I am adding tariffs to the foods you sell.”
Seller: “we will raise our prices to cover the cost of the tariffs.”
Customers: “we can’t afford the foods and won’t buy as much.”
t: “I am removing the tariffs I added earlier. Now you can lower prices.”
Customer: “yeah. Lower your prices now.”
Seller: “…no.”
Damn, that’s like the most (and only?) real Christian thing he has ever done.

That’s what tyranny is like. It’s very similar to Stockholm syndrome. The person hurting you stops hurting you as much and you thank them for it.
That’s why the US defunded education, then people can’t understand what is being done and accept their propoganda.
Not even hyperbole. Education tends to make people more left, so the right systematically destroyed it in red states. They don’t care that people make worse choices into heir lives, they just want to stay in power.
“Wow, he raised the prices of everything after he campaigned on lowering prices! I love you, Mr. Trump!!”
“Wow, he’s lowering the cost of coffee to a bit higher than it was before he raised the prices of everything! I love you, Mr. Trump!! You’re going all-in on affordability!”
“Wow, the price of coffee is still as high as it was before he signed a bill because American companies realized that Americans will pay the higher price for them! What a brilliant victory for Mr. Trump!!”
That is what these people sound like.
It’s possible a significant portion of Republicans are closeted and repressed sado-masochists that keep having political outbursts in lieu of expressing themselves in a more appropriate environment.
a simpler explanation is that they are all morons
Definitely both. Sadistic morons.
Turns out if you are really stupid, you won’t even notice when you are a shitty person.
How do American cattle ranchers feel about imported beef being made more affordable? Serious question.
Tyson is closing a major meat processing plant in Nebraska, so prices should stay high because of the artificial bottleneck in the supply chain. Profits however will increase because of lower tariffs
As a Canadian rancher/farmer, I listen to US cattle podcasters and commenters and laugh my fucking ass off. They’re fucking livid. It’s true face-eating leopard time.
The sad part many people will see this as him doing something to reduce prices…
Turns out that now that he is older his libido is down. This means less women and children are getting raped. We should applaud him for this reduction!
Prices aren’t coming down because record profits and shareholders. The only thing that will bring prices down in this godforsaken dystopia is guillotines
On y va mes amis, le jour de gloire et arrive!
I hope so
A weak person’s idea of strength.
The serial stabber telling you he’ll stop stabbing a couple specific body parts. They expect praise for their benevolence. Praise them, you common chattel.
The damage is done Don, you fucking dimwit. Prices will remain.
I kinda think that was the point. He’s been taking bribes openly for a while now.
Perhaps, but I’m sold on the fact that he’s just that stupid. I have a coworker that is a NY Trumper that seriously believed what they were told by the admin about tariffs: that the businesses overseas should pay those, not consumers. I really believe Trump thought that. He’s a cave man.
(Apologies to all the cave man homies out there.)
That’s a fair point. I do favor the hypothesis that he’s only successful as a scam artist, making him effectively a ouija-board planchette controlled by his entourage who are all controlled by billionaires, think tanks, and foreign states.
I think half of america thinks its impossible to be worth millions/billions of dollars and be completely stupid. We are surrounded by absurdly rich imbeciles.
