    The funny thing is when Biden signed the IRA inflation was 8% and a year later it was at sub 4%. The idea that IRA or green energy subsidies caused inflation shows how rotten these people's brains truly are.

    They hate facts

    This 9% inflation claim is a real doozy. @raining threes - care to explain where you got that number?

    Go checkout Yahoo finance and an article called Trump vs Biden inflation.

    I'm checking out for awhile. Work calls

    Trump is an Ivy League elitist with a BA in economics.

    This is why @rainingthrees hates him.

    Stay tuned for Taco Tuesday in August.

    Tuesday July 8

    “As per letters sent to various countries yesterday, in addition to letters that will be sent today, tomorrow, and for the next short period of time, TARIFFS WILL START BEING PAID ON AUGUST 1, 2025. There has been no change to this date, and there will be no change. In other words, all money will be due and payable starting AUGUST 1, 2025 — No extensions will be granted. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”


    Monday July 7

    “Is the Aug. 1 deadline firm now? Is that it?” a reporter asked Trump during a dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.

    “No, I would say firm, but not 100 percent firm,” Trump replied. “If they call up and they say ‘we’d like to do something a different way,’ we’re going to be open to that. But essentially that’s the way it is right now.”

    Trump is turning every south Asia country into the arms of China for literally no reason.

    Why would you piss off the Japanese

    The market appears to believe that everyday is TACO Tuesday.

    The big smart money is not believing Chicken Little.

    Most countries are also not believing Trump's tariff threats, as well.

    @Nook its honestly funny that you think Trump is mentally smart enough to be playing 4d chess when in reality hes sincerely a moron. He genuinely thinks other countries pay tariffs

    Well, hope everybody stocked up on coffee.

    Brazil is one of the few countries we have a trade surplus with, so I guess tariffs weren't about trade deficits after all?

    Hes demanding they drop all criminal charges against Trumps buddy. Has nothing to do with deficits.


    Americans have to pay more for every day goods bcz the POTUS is upset about their domestic affairs lol. This is the "America first" the MAGATS claim @El_Conquistador @HTM

    Imagine if a democratic President interfered in another nations affairs like this?

    Where did the trump supporters go? Nobody to came to defend Trumps tariff threats? These letters show that he really means business and these tariffs are coming on August 1 or else!

    That can't be a real letter from the Office of the President of the United States. Surely whomever typed that knows basic grammar and sentence structure?

    I think the 4th dimension is only accessible by having large amounts of air space in your cranium.

    He proves that every day. Just like today when he asked the President of Liberia where he learned to speak such beautiful English. :p What a stupid ass question.
