    Word on The Street is the Penguins of Heard Island and McDonald Islands are gay (or at least some of them), so they had those tariffs coming. We can hope that they learned their lesson.

    The oligarchs can pave their way though, by bribing Trump for favors, while the bottom 50% suffer the most. Hell, you don't even have to be American, you just have to pay him what he wants down the road, and it can be done openly or under the table. The offer of Trump's Gold Card was given a shout out to Russian oligarchs personally. We need more oligarchs to become American citizens. Dreamers are losers.

    The cost to the oil and gas billionaires was 96 million paid to Trump's re-election campaign and affiliated political action committees. They not only bought themselves a roll back on environmental regulations, but got themselves an exemption on Trump's tariffs.

    Show me the money! White House positions available for billionaires, die-hard loyalists, far right talk show hosts and celebrities who love Trump. Must look good on TV or have a big following. Ratings matter.

    Of course you would cuz you have no values. Just don't gas light people with bullshit claiming he's better for the economy. Admit that you don't care about the economy and you like his hate and conspiracies.

    Its hilarious how MAGATs will still gas light you to this day even after he's completely tanked the economy

    Remember every CEO/president/CFO is coming to Trump right now begging him for carveouts and exceptions to his tariffs. Trump is getting high off this power as he has everyone begging at his feet. He's making insane money right now under the table that none of us understand. He has a bunch of crypto scams to launder money through.

    Trump doesn't give a **** what happens to every day americans or the middle class. He has his braindead cultists literally @Space Ghost @Commodore worshipping him regardless and he knows he can manipulate his base.

    The entire world will suffer cuz he wants to relish in this power. It's so ****ing sick

    Easy. It's a cult. Trump is their religion :cool:

    FYI these MAGAts would totally be okay with a King or Dictator as long as it's Trump. They'll justify and defend it somehow. Remember in 2024 they were complaining about inflation? Now they're totally okay with a recession :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    These 70 IQ MAGAts are a lost cause. Goalposts keep moving. It'll never stop moving.

    I just hate how they will lie to your face over and over. They'll keep gas lighting you and claim the tariffs are somehow necessary to bring back manufacturing and good jobs while at the same time Trump is busting unions and gutting the department of labor. Hes relaxing overtime rules and making it easier for CEOs to screw their workers

    He doesn't give a **** about workers or the middle class. It's just INSANE how they lie to your face. They're literally pissing in your face and telling you the piss is good for you

    being a MAGAt should be classified as a psychiatric illness or severe form of mental disability

    there should be some sort of ICD-10 code u can use to bill insurance

    Grok:
    Posts on X and articles from outlets like Reuters and The Washington Post, which detailed the chart’s contents, do not suggest any alphabetical sorting by domain or otherwise. Instead, the arrangement appears unstructured, with no consistent pattern—whether by country name, tariff rate, trade deficit, or internet domain. Analysts and users have noted its lack of obvious organization, with some speculating it was curated for political emphasis (e.g., highlighting "worst offenders" like China or Vietnam) rather than adhering to a systematic criterion like top-level domains.

    Can anyone come up with a reason not to feel anger toward Trump and the people who voted for him and who continue to support him. With the economic misery being unleashed, especially on those who are least able to afford price hikes on their basics, I am finding it increasingly difficult to feel any sympathy or empathy for Trumpers.

    Relax, everything is fine.... The U.S is just renegotiating bad deals in favor of everyone but US...... Some things may go up momentarily but not forever, big deal if the Nintendo Switch 2 goes up.... You can get it later..... If anything I'm more motivated to sell more houses this year....

    Yeap, The global supply change actually helps prevent physical wars. Nobody in there right mind wants to blow up parts of their own manufacturing infrastructure.

    Isn't it telling how republican politicians are concerned that Trumps mismanagement will hurt their future political power and not how it hurts their constituents.
