Does it feel like Trump just learned the word "tariff" a couple weeks ago or is that just me?

No he definitely learned it years ago, but he’s a simple boy, he can’t hold too many concepts in his head. It’s mostly just rape, fraud, and now tariffs

That “simple boy” has won two presidential elections and has avoided jail even though he has been convicted multiple times.

The amount of goldfish brain that goes on around here is staggering. It’s no wonder they constantly get away with shit.

It also feels like he means his „100% tariff“ takes all the money.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Let's keep it that way. Imagine if he discovers one day he could go over 100%.
