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 was driving into work a couple weeks ago and NPR was playing a clip of him calling into a radio show and complaining about trade imbalances and the need for tariffs. That clip was taken from 1989…

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

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.

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 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.
