    you really don't. Conmen and Frauds have been successful for as long as we've existed. If anything, with social media and the internet it's never been easier to grift.



    The entire Trump apparatus relies on misinformation, projection, built in biases and general bullshit to provide cover and spin their actions, with a base desperate to help if not be outright marks that fall for it and a huge propaganda network to disseminate it. Cue drones shoveling out videos and 30 posts in 10 minutes on message boards and social media with a cycle of manufactured memes ready to go.

    The thing for everyone else to remember is it's almost always bullshit and distortion.


    Canada, appease the giant orange child by doing all the things they were going to do already plus spend the money on a 'czar' to solve the 'problem'?

    I would bet heavily that you succeeded financially. The vast majority of Americans do not have the drive, discipline or work ethic to execute that plan.

    Even morans could make money betting on market swings that Musk and other insiders knowingly create and then reverse such as like the on and off again tariffs even the WSJ characterize as "ignorant."

    China did not get the memo that Trump was just kidding about the tariffs. All China had to do was promise to buy more soybeans and Trump would have folded.

    On Monday night, China announced it will impose retaliatory tariffs on the United States on liquefied natural gas, coal, and farm machinery, according to The New York Times. China also said it will launch an investigation into Google, which could hamper the major American corporation's ability to work with Chinese companies.

    The retaliatory tariffs are China's response to the blanket 10% tariff Trump imposed on the country, which he said was his punishment for China’s role in the U.S. fentanyl crisis.

    Placing 10% tariffs on all products from China will have sweeping negative consequences for Americans, who will now see companies—which pay the tariffs on imports—pass those increased costs down.

    Economists say the universal 10% tariff on Chinese goods will raise the prices of consumer electronics, computer equipment, toys, jewelry, sporting equipment, and shoes, among other things CNN reported.

    According to CNN, the United States imported $47 billion worth of communications equipment (think cellphones) from China, all of which is now subject to tariffs.

    What’s more, expect the cost of your shoes to go up: 99% of all footwear sold in the United States is imported and mostly from China and Vietnam, CNN says.

    Chy-na....

    We will see what Elon does.... he's very dependent on the CCP and I'd be curious to what he had to give up to the CCP to gain access to their market.

    Dude Harris lost by a whopping 270k votes in 3 states. Democrats picked up seats in the House of Representatives. Not a single incumbent in the world survived covid inflation. Youre just a dumbass and stop quoting me. You're too dumb to have a conversation with me.

    Right Trudeau is a p***y and not Trump who caved on the tariffs the minute the market opened and the stock market was down 600 points.

    The delusion that you MAGATs have is truly amazing. You people are delusional than most mental patients

    All of these countries getting tariffs proceeded to "negotiate" immediately..... But ya'll tryin to tell us tariffs don't work. They did work, and will continue to work. Trump is in power for 4 years not the 1 month Mexico is fighting for dear life to avoid getting their economy absolutely rocked..... Look, if you want to say Trump folded despite Trump initiating what Mexico and Canada are trying to avoid then sure.. Go ahead, if it makes you feel better then why not? But the reality here is both Canada and Mexico are in deep $hit and both of them best not *ck around, authority is back in the white house... Can't bribe this president with double chocolate ice cream...

    Again. I know you're a low iq cultist whos incapable of using his brain but Trump did not get any concessions from Canada. Canada already had announced a 1.3 billion program to secure the border LAST YEAR. Trump folded on the tariffs the minute the market opened and the stock market started collapsing.

    Its just funny how you MAGATs think everyone is as brainwashed as you cultists.

    This is why you're so brainwashed. You only consume MAGA media and then wonder why you're brainwashed. Trump did not gain any new concessions and your braindead influencers are brainwashing you.

    Mexico has had their military deployed to the border since 2023 which is why border crossing collapsed in 2024.

    Youre in a cult
