The Trump Tariffs thread

[nakedfrog]

If you never had a burger with an egg how would you know they are awesome?

He meant he hasn't had a burger with an egg cooked in that specific fashion, but has had burgers with over easy/lightly fried eggs.

Well the bike bag project on Kickstarter which was supposed to start shipping now, is now no longer shipping to the US. It's just not feasible. They also don't want to pass the full impact of the tariffs onto customers.

Shipping to other international countries will commence though. Amazing. This is a company based in the US started by passionate cyclists.

Even as an outsider Trump will have power. He did during the Biden era. And even after he passes, are we sure that his son's won't be able to pick up the MAGA loyalty?

Trump will have power as long as he can communicate with his base. Two things that will stop that, when he stops breathing, or locked away from cameras and microphones in prison.

I suspect all but the 5% hard core of MAGA see his sons as anyone to listen to. Even brainless stooges recognize other brainless stooges.

They will have another leader, a Russian one. That's the issue of that 5%.

Pathetic! ... Did they have to jangle a set of keys in his face to get his attention? Even his administration realizes Trump is out of his mind. Trump thinks the nation is a casino. They were kept waiting while King Trump tried to tap out a Truth Social.

"Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people," - BS Barbie, Trump's spokesperson

So, why would Trump put a pause on his own tax cut? Total clown show!

Somehow, the dumbest Americans convinced themselves that they needed to be jealous of Bangladeshi factory workers sewing t-shirts for $4.27/day and that they were willing to run the economy into the ground in order to take those jobs.

If China has a 100 year Economic Plan America has a 'Who did Trump talk to last?" plan. And right now Donald Trump's cabinet is filled with Heritage Foundation project 2025 nutters and ultra-rich billionaires.

In an ideal situation the president wouldn't have to be treated like a temperamental child.

This is normal.

No, really.

Welcome to the new great America.

This really is the most absurd aspect about all this nonsense. The rehtoric claiming victimhood, and the insistence that the US is the poor, put-upon victim of superpowers like Cambodia, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, whose people are living lives of luxury because of their cunning exploitation of poor hard-done-by Americans. Especially when at best (if it has any rational basis at all) it's an attempt to conceal the reality of a problem internal to the US.

So the top 1% convinced the rest 99% to vote for them because those forriners are eating their cookie? Now the 1% are gonna get their tax cut, poor bastards... What are going to do with those extra billions, buy some more politicians?
