Has anyone told him that tariffs require willing trade partners?
He’s so full of shit it’s running out his mouth.
What built the industrial juggernaut that won the cold war was a 90% tax rate.
Also, World War II was perhaps the biggest gift for America’s economy in their history. It took them from the economic slump of the Great Depression into a booming war economy that allowed it to recover. Such an economic boom likely won’t ever happen again, unless the US openly declares war on another country.
The United States was at its absolute economic best when charging fucks like musk and Trump 95% tax rate … forcing them to invest instead of hoarding. Stop lying you stupid orange fuck
The real way to “Make America Great Again”
The truth the rich don’t want you to know
He can’t stop lying, it’s all he knows how to do.
How the Democrats have failed to skewer him with “tariffs are taxes: he’s raising taxes” is beyond me.
Because the Democrats exist as a controlled opposition party. They aren’t there to make your life better, they are there to funnel progressive energy into a harmless movement.
He literally raised the taxes on basically everyone that makes less than $300k and gave billionaires another tax cut because he did that in his first term too.
Democrats still can’t figure out their messaging.
Here in Germany, one of the left wing parties (literally “The Left”) has been putting up election posters with lines like “If your town is getting flooded, the rich are boarding their yachts”, “If your heating is too expensive, someone’s making coal” (making bank), “If your grocery trip is too expensive, a corporation is cashing in” and such. I found that a refreshing sight.
(Mind, some of their positions are contentious too and this isn’t an uncritical endorsement. I just felt the posters were fitting.)
Because unfortunately the only thing the Democrats are good at is failing miserably at being good politicians. Those of us in the US are stuck between choosing a party of feckless, stupid, corpo shills and a party of straight up fascists :(
But tariffs goes into the government’s pocket, don’t they want a small govt? Oh wait, it’s just to trickle down the money to their billionaire friends, my bad.
So why am I not getting my income tax money back you lying fuck?
Because when he says “Wealthy again”, he doesn’t mean you.
Tariffs essentially mean you’re paying more for everything that you buy, which then goes into the corporations coffers, and the billionaires/robber barons get richer. THAT is what Trump means by the country being “wealthy again”. He means the billionaires. He doesn’t care if it’s his own middle class paying for it.
Oh, I’m well aware.
Pls tell me how tariffs will fix my student loans, Mr President. Pls tell me how it will pay off my mortgage and medical debt.
Fuckin clown… Jfc
It’s a very important issue.
But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about, that — because —
child care is child carestudent loans are student loans… It’s something, you have to have it in this country. You have to have it.But when you talk about those numbers, compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they’re not used to, but they’ll get used to it very quickly, and it’s not going to stop them from doing business with us, but they’ll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country,
Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we’re talking about, including child care, that it’s going to take care. We’re going to have — I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time, coupled with the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country.
-Trump
TL;DR: He has no idea
Talk about projecting “I don’t know what I’m doing!”
The MAGA brand, at it’s heart, is just saying your policies loudly over and over again and calling anyone who disagrees with you stupid.
This has been wildly effective again a liberal establishment that only knows how to triangulate between whatever two ideas a pair of TV talking heads are yelling at one another.
Sounds like Trump can’t tell the difference between a Value Added Tax, and tariffs. It sounds like what he really wants is a federal VAT.
He’s referring to how the US was incredibly tariff heavy between 1789 and the early 1900s. During this time, there was little to no industry in the US and they imported most of their stuff from Britan, which obviously wasn’t something they were too happy about. The new country went hard with the tariffs and it helped the country grow its own domestic industries.
Of course, it’s not the 1800s anymore and expecting that implementing the same government policies from that time will make the country better is idiotic. This is a way to fund tax breaks to billionaires and corporations by heavily taxing the average American and having them think it’s patriotic.
He’s a moron and loves to show it.
Eat the rich.
Who’s “we”, motherfucker?
Yes
Per my ear specialist: Just never use q-tips. At least not for your ears. There’s actually a saying about never putting something smaller than your elbow in. Go to the doctor and get them cleaned out in the event they actually clog.
Although, I bet that would be expensive in the US. Hmm, I wonder what the play is down there.
Q-tips.
Couldn’t you use water yourself? It doesn’t look that hard, although I don’t know what I don’t know there.
I probably could, I was just feeling a bit ornery. Hope you’re having a good one out there!
Doctors use a special tube and basin with sterile water to unclog grave wax obstructions. Tweezers (also sterilized) for solid objects. Otherwise the average person should really just rub the outside with a towel to keep it dry. Very rarely people require special care, and the doctors will give precise instructions on what to do and how.
As if he would pay income tax
You should, in fact, not be using any at all. Ears are self-cleaning, the wax is precisely what transports gunk to the outside all you’re probably doing is pushing it back in. Some soapy fingering of the outsides while showering is all you need to finish that task.
I tried that - instead of my ears clogging after ~1 year with q-tips, it now clogged after 3 months
I hate ear wax
When you suddenly stop things can clog, yes, go to a doctor. It might also be a muscle in your neck or something, giving the impression of things being clogged.
No, it was an actual clog that I had to get removed, but thanks for the tip. I haven’t been using any since my last cleaning either, guess I’ll see soon whether things actually improve!
My ear holes are so large that I could probably fit 4 q-tips in. I do an helical wipe with the q tip, no wax is getting pushed in, its getting scraped out. Some one with a tiny ear canal should not be ramrodding with a q-tip though

If you shove it up there with your q-tips yes a lot will be in it, in clumps, instead of coating the walls. Don’t take my word for it, visit an otorhinolaryngologist those are the only people who should ever stick things into ears.
Hey Canada can you send some, y’know, special ops type people to uh . . y’know.
