So he wants all Ikea stores nationally to close then. Like just go bankrupt and close and everyone loses their jobs and we all just sit on the fuckin floor? Fannnnntastic.
Tariffs are a tax on the working classes. The people who can least afford them pay the most. One of the 1%ers will use the same amount of imported pharmaceuticals as one worker. If there is only 36,000,000 of the 1%ers and there are 250,000,000 middle and working class, guess who pays the tariff. Yep, not those who can afford it without knowing it has been charged.
Obamacare subsidies will expire at the end of the year unless Republicans take action to extend them (most likely they won't). Four million people are projected to lose coverage and pharma prices will rise for another 20 million. Trump's pharma tariffs will not only harm but may also kill thousands of Americans.
And what happens when your orange asshole puts tariffs on our exports, like he did with meats and metals, is our local prices go up to meet the profit expectations of our local producers. Cause god forbid they lose out on their profit margins. Cheers cunt.
Trump literally campaigned on implicit promises to run the country into the ground and commit as many atrocities (not just crimes, but full blown atrocities that will cause undue death and suffering) as humanly possible this term. Anytime anyone pointed this out before the election it was always met with "oh, he'd never ACTUALLY do any of that" or "the courts would never allow it". But here we are and he's following thru and the courts have proven themselves unwilling or unable to stop him.
His followers don't actually give a shit if white people get hurt too. They just want as much death and suffering as possible (even if it hurts themselves or their loved ones). Did you forget how they GLEEFULLY went out of their way to do everything they could to spread Covid during the pandemic (even after watching their friends and loved ones die slow, agonizing deaths because of it)? They are a literal Nazi death cult. They view death and suffering as good things. 1/2
Their "outrage" is faked. They know if they openly admitted to what they are doing/seeking it would result in significant backlash, with their opponents forcibly stopping them. Like most toxic/abusive people, they know that if they feign ignorance they will get away with their crap much longer. They know most of their opponents will buy it and then waste their time and energy fruitlessly trying to explain how what they're doing is wrong instead of taking meaningful action to stop them. 2/2
Current projection of shutting down USAID alone is 14 million dead people iirc, mostly children, all over the world by 2030.. Countless more who'll suffer needlessly.
Thousands? That would be awesome if the final numbers will be that low... His gleeful mismanagement of covid caused tens of thousands of deaths in the US alone, the right-wing propaganda built on him likely caused millions of deaths worldwide.
The fact that he was convicted of 34 felonies that he carried out in the course of campaigning for office the first time and was not only not jailed or penalized for them, but allowed to freely campaign again, was all the proof anyone needed that the justice system will do jack shit about anything he does.
maybe so, but I am so sick and tired of rich ppl getting away with things that would have put ordinairy ppl in jail for many, many years, and why we are stupid enough to vote for them even when it becomes obvious is beyond me.
Bribery and mob tactics. He can give out exemptions. Give him a big enough envelope, and the Don allows you to operate cheaper than the competition... For a while... Or for some favours...
Trump has found a way to tax people without them even realising that they're being taxed, because anyone dumb enough to vote for him is by default too dumb to understand tariffs.
100 percent tariffs on pharmaceuticals?? Even the ones on which he's going to lower the cost by 1500 percent? Please let us know, O Feckless Leader, so I can adjust my a-cinnamon-iphone budget to keep up the 'tism.
From imported ones, I'm guessing even after the 1500% reduction in domestic prices it'll still be higher than imported so they gotta add the 100% tariffs to make it competitive.
The US adds an insane markup on medication that's not done in other countries.
Time to revive the age-old tradition of drug smuggling, only this time it is the helpful drugs we have to smuggle in. I wonder, do any of the tariffed drugs come in through the port of Boston? Because we know how to deal with tariffed goods.
Nah man he's really seriously fucking with the economy now. It's the one thing you can't do as POTUS. Racist dogwhistles, racist clarion calls, making Black people illegal... that's all great but if Joe Paycheck sees a smaller number in his bank account... boom.
Effects of tariffs are delayed. Companys filled their storage to the brim to be prepared - it takes months till their stock runs dry again. Does average joe then blame trump or has already forgotten about tariffs? Given the usual mental gymnastics I asume they blame obama, not trump...
His poll numbers are remarkably stable, as was the case the first time. They're not good, but aren't going much below 40%. There just isn't a whole lot of movement either way. Maybe what he's doing will finally drive things dramatically, but so far it hasn't really. But we are only really starting to feel the damage he's been doing. It will get a lot worse. But I'm not certain it will shift things too much. People are locked in. https://votehub.com/polls/?poll=trump_approval
This is my read as well. He's shed all the support from people who actually can rub two brain cells together. The remaining support are the trigger the libs core and they'll destroy the fucking planet if they think it'll make an Oregonian man with a man bun cry.
They do get it, but they're a literal Nazi death cult. So they WANT that. Many of them believe that by making the world as horrible as possible and supporting anyone matching descriptions of the Anti-Christ (Trump) they can usher in the End of Days and be Raptured up to Heaven just because they claim to accept Jesus (despite their own scripture clearly stating they will burn for what they are doing).
I'm a little confused, they say "God works in mysterious ways" and " Lord make me a better servant", couldn't they auto-rapture? If there is a problem with that you could offer to be a good neighbor?
They're the type of people who pick up a guide book on something based entirely off one or two keywords in the title and then consider themselves to know everything they need to know about that subject despite never actually reading the guide book (which actually turns out to be a guide book for an entirely unrelated subject that coincidentally happened to have a title with keywords shared by the subject they think it's about).

So first we're lowering the price of meds by 1400% and now there's a 50% tariff. Is that over the original price or the lowerd price?

Because of course people in America can definitely afford to pay more for pharmaceuticals !

The Epstein files is a distraction from all the other evidence that Trump raped children. And at this point, it would not make a lick of difference.

He's found out how to tax everyday Americans in a way that he can portray as hurting other countries. Sells well with the pretend patriots.

Apply tariff and buy stock on the dip. Resolve the problem you created. Sell stock on the jump.

All of this is added on top of the earlier cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and disabled vets.
