Men have always liked stupid girls.. that's why the red light districts are full of them.

Not sure about getting them on TV to talk up politics though.. that kinda kills boners for the majority of folks.

Thanks for putting Shirley Manson singing “Stupid Girl” in my head!

You want to see something funny?

Theo is a guy that is best described as someone on a perpetual schroom/cocaine trip mixed up with a little autism that found a way to make a living as a comedian not really realizing why half his shit is funny.
Here he is interviewing Trump. It starts off almost normal with some UFC stuff then it descends into heart attacks and more... I was laughing my ass off

Theo is the wish.com version of Rogan. Or, at least he's trying to be. Really hard.

The good looking schtick by Trump is extremely bizarre and eyebrow raising. A few days ago he opines that Kamala's the most beautiful woman in the world. A couple days later at a rally he starts saying he's much better looking than her. It's really his sexism metastasizing.

How about a Wharton grad?

Fact-Checking All of the Mysteries Surrounding Donald Trump and Penn

If the Wharton grad doesn't understand the basics of a how a tariff works, and what its purpose is, then he's an idiot. Doesn't matter if daddy's money paid for him to pass Wharton. U Penn (which I pass by regularly) is full of rich foreign exchange students where daddy's money pays for everything.

Not saying you need to understand all the intricacies of how a tariff affects the economy, just the basics on a super high level, which is what any person in a leadership role such as the POTUS should know. My daughter in middle school is smart enough to understand tariffs on such a basic level. Genius Trump doesn't understand tariffs.

Tariffs are a tax on goods. Dealing only with import tariffs for the moment, that means the company (ex: Walmart) importing the goods pays an extra tax on it. The foreign company pays no extra taxes. The foreign company receives no extra revenue. Do you think Walmart passes the cost to the consumer? Or do you think Walmart says, well I'm screwed, I have to eat this extra tax cost? For non-idiots, you know Walmart passes the cost to consumers. So yes, technically consumers don't pay the taxes, but in reality, they're the ones footing the cost. It's not that hard.

What's funny is this guy is so stupid and lazy that he never thought this through.

If the foreign companies decide to pay the entirety of the tariff out of their own pockets like he claims then they will provide no price advantage to US consumers.

If the foreign companies don't decide to pay the entirety of the tariff out of their own pockets then prices rise for US consumers.

There's no way around this. It's basic math.

I think there's a lot of hubris and ignorance involved as well. Again, we're not expecting the POTUS to be an economics major, though that wouldn't hurt. But there should be knowledgeable advisors to explain the basics, on a super high level, of how things such as tariffs work. Or whatever the issue the POTUS is dealing with. And the fact that Trump either ignores such advisors, or hires advisors so stupid they don't understand these concepts themselves, is mind boggling.

Here's an article on tariffs that helps hammer home how tariffs work and how they affect consumers.
 
It is shocking watching Republicans go from free-trade, anti-tariff, hate Soviet Union to loving tariffs and Russia. Reagan would be Biden today and pilloried by Maga 🤣
 
Saw a great comment on Trump hiding behind glass at his outdoor rally recently.

"He looks like a sad, old goldfish"

He did have a bit more energy than he had recently. Voice is definitely higher than it used to be, older-sounding (duh, he's 78) and he's still slurring a bit. Same old non-stop stream of lying bullshit, I could only listen to five minutes.

Better comment. Saw was “Why doesn’t he use a bullet proof backpack like they want kids to use while at school?”
 
Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside
There behind a glass stands a really weird jackass.
Be careful as you pass, move along, move along

So part of the problem with Trump (at least according to leaks from his first 4 years); is he feels he is the smartest person in the room and mostly ignores advisors..... at least for those policies he chooses to direct himself.
