We've already gone from the best middle class in the world to the working poor and now we need pay more for your food, pay more for your products, pay more for medicines.. to fight wokeness..

FUCK YOU MAGA

I AM TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY!

I like how tariffs are the answer to basically every policy question put to them. They are so magical lol.

Well, I suppose that will appeal to some of the base, they'll do anything to defeat wokeness, even if it means suffering for them. Whatever it takes to screw over fellow Americans who aren't the right color or aren't having sex with the right people or are wearing the wrong clothes.

It’s a back door national sales tax. The most regressive taxes we have on the books.

Woke is not paying enough for goods and being able to get health insurance if you are old/sick.

I'm hoping a reporter has the stones to ask JD about him fucking his couch. Since he said making up stories is fine.

It should be fair game, it's just something "made up" to highlight the real issue that the dude is just fucking weird.

 

[dainthomas]

Fellas, is it woke to pay less for goods and services?

You forget about the soy farmers that went bankrupt during Trump's last round of tariffs that gleefully accepted their fate as part of their patriotic duty.

And then proceeded to vote for him again.

And fuck them, I am tired of spending political capital on people who are not appreciative or loyal and actively don’t want it. They can deal with it themselves and just maybe they’ll reconsider their positions.
I am looking at you Teamsters. You’ve made your choice now deal with the consequences.

They were just ending soy boys

Yea, but if you had watched MSNBC last night you would have known that Trump spent over 90% of the tariff collected, to bail them out, so they would think Trump's a genius.

 

[mikeymikec]

"tariffs to fight wokeness" sounds like code for "daddy trump needs more money"

He's telling his cult that you can have your cake and eat it too. At this point, I don't know if Trump is that dumb, or it just shows how dumb he thinks his MAGA people are.

I'm baffled by Trump's continuing obsession with tariffs, and more so his pretending not to understand how they work. After all he is a graduate of Wharton, an Ivy league school and one of the one of the most prestigious business schools in the world. Did he ever actually attend any classes or crack open a book ever? He is going to the working classes pay increased taxes in order to shrink the world economy (via trade wars/retaliatory tariffs) thus resulting in increased unemployment.

It;s like he made a bet with someone that he could sell the dumbest idea ever.

Just a reminder of what one of his professors had to say:

“He must have told me that 100 times over the course of 30 years,” says DiPrima, who has been practicing law since 1963 and has served as in-house counsel for entities including the Federal Trade Commission and Playboy Enterprises. “I remember the inflection of his voice when he said it: ‘Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had!’” He would say that [Trump] came to Wharton thinking he already knew everything, that he was arrogant and he wasn’t there to learn.”

Perhaps I'm being unduly charitable towards Boris Johnson, but I wonder if Boris has a little more self-awareness than Trump while still suffering from the same character defects:

School letter about Boris Johnson's 'effortless superiority' resurfaces

A LETTER complaining about Boris Johnson's "effortless superiority" from one of his teachers has re-emerged as pressure continues to…

I wonder if hell for Boris would be to be trapped in a room with many people (inc. Trump) like himself and having to hear them blather on for eternity about how great they think they are.

Dont worry. Kamala will work hard to make America illegal again. As far as inflation, once she is done handing out UBI payments to everyone who would rather not work but smoke weed and cause crime, you will see continued upward pressures on prices.

And dont forget, it was Old Man Biden with his stupid 100% tariff on Chinese EV's recently to protect lazy union workers that will keep us from buying affordable $15,000 cars. Nope! We have to pay American prices - $30k+ for bare transportation.

So yeah, its the dems alright.

So you'd rather have cheap Chinese EV's flood the American market with heavily subsidized EV's by the Communist Chinese gov't that will endanger our own American workers livelihoods and job security? Why are you so anti-American in your efforts to support Trump's unconstitutional efforts at elevating himself as America's first Dictator-in-Chief? You really think your attitude toward eliminating democracy in America is being patriotic? Really?

Felix has a very simplistic economic world view: if workers benefit, there is less profit for him to sponge up. He is a parasite.

This is what America is supposed to be about..free markets and competition. Also American car companies get bailouts and freebies from Government.

Give me a $15,000 Chinese SUV.

Sir, a UBI would unequivocally reduce crime. When poverty increases, crime increases. It's like the first law of poverty.

So he's a globalist now and now supports no tariffs on China?

I think we've found our next wannabe Presidential assassin..

Fair enough. Criminal background check first.
