“Well, they did sign up for it, actually. And this is what I campaigned on,” Trump said of the tariffs during an interview with ABC News that aired Tuesday.
And you can’t really argue with that.
46% of Americans still support all of this. We’re a doomed nation full of Nazis. I feel like it’s going to get genocide/Great Depression bad.
Someone smarter than me once said:
The dildo of consequence rarely arrives lubed…
You signed up for all of it and everyone that was opposite of you told you it’s fucking predictable it was going to happen. Even yelled out project 2025, it was right there in your face. But you don’t read a damn thing, of course you weren’t going to read that book like you don’t read the Bible. Stop. Falling. For. Obvious. Bullshit.
Yes. Unfortunately we all have to suffer because a quarter of the US population is as ignorant as a box of rocks.
That being said, he also has the option of not destroying the US economy. Nobody is forcing him to recklessly abolish society.
More than a quarter. Include everyone who didn’t vote…
A box of rocks would at least have the sense not to vote for a fascist criminal.
I agree with him on this one. Leopards meet face.
Hold up. Wait. So tRUMP isn’t lying for once?
His lips moved therefore a childlike fabrication should be heard, right!!??!! I think I need to have a good long sit down and think about what he’s done!
he also dint do the accordian hands when hes lying.
And not a one, including himself, understood what tariffs were.
He also said tariffs were a tax that other countries paid…so there may have been some confusion over what exactly they were agreeing to.
It doesn’t matter who pays the tariff. Anyone with half a brain knows that the cost will be passed down to the consumer either way.
Anyone with half a brain
Oops, I think we found the problem.
Yep. Less than half a brain and less than half a heart. Amd absolutely no self-awareness.
Socrates would chug a 20 ounce hemlock Mountain Dew just on principle after meeting an average American.
Anyone with half a brain
Trump voters
Pick one.
If you’re not informed and take Trump at his word, I can see how you might end up thinking the tariffs were a country-to-country transaction, like literally China paying the USA.
In that case you wouldn’t necessarily arrive at the conclusion that the cost has to be passed on, along the value chain.
But on the other hand I don’t have a good track record of estimating what uninformed people who don’t care to seek information think…
As a non-American it’s difficult to grasp how uninformed the average American voter is. It’s not that difficult to look up what tariffs really are.
It’s actually very difficult for them to look up what tariffs are, because they read below a 4th grade level and are functionally illiterate. Most explanations regarding tariffs that I have read seem to assume a European high school level of reading proficiency.
Pretty simple, they didn’t give it a second thought because there was never a first thought

Idk why so many idiots keep harping on this when it doesn’t matter who actually gives the money to the government, it all ends up being borne by the end consumer. If china “paid” the tariffs to the government it would be exactly the same as if the importer did in terms of overall effect.

Gotta read the fine print. And by fine print I mean Ariel Black 72pt.
As if they can read.
Well I didn’t back you, clown. Tariffs should then apply only to MAGAt morons and lazy ass ButBothSides types
One of the few times I agree with this flatulent.
If you lie so much you’ll have trouble keeping your story straight, and eventually make a mistake and drop a few truths in there somewhere
a qoute from a ds9 character, you never tell the same lie twice.
That has to be Elim Garak
But that’s just something he overheard from one of his customers. After all, he is just a simple tailor.
They did vote for him. Too bad most of his voters will hurt the most
Congrats, you voted to become poorer.
This is why I think Trump stickers next to prices should say, “You did this.” He not only won’t except blame for anything but he’ll gladly shift blame to the people he’s hurting the most.
