Get a load of this putz.

The biggest problem with that is the people who wanted this are too stupid to know why things are more expensive. They’ll be blaming Biden/Dems for the next 4 years for anything that goes wrong while praising Trump for anything that goes well in their life. Any real correlation or causation will be completely ignored. 

Just wait until Canada cuts off oil exports to the US and the price of gas jumps a dollar or two.  Try explaining to your uncle that he voted for that.

This is the first time I’ve woken up as an American and genuinely not felt safe. And to all the people who chose this? Fuck you and I hope they come for your family first.

Exactly!
Those are probably just general HR costs.

Came here to say exactly that. Either it’s a made up number, or they’re classing a lot of different support programs as DEI and a lot of trump voters are shortly going to be very surprised to discover that they’re considered a minority the government is wasting money on.

Deport Elon.

Sounds like structured fraud to me.

I swear, if the grocery store doesn’t start buying $600/month worth of my dryer lint animal figurines, I’m gonna put a 2000% tariff on all the goods I buy from them! They are gonna be soooorrry!

Sad thing: there are a LOT of Trump fans in Canada amongst the conservative voters, and the venn diagram of auto workers and conservative voters has a large overlap.

Please remain seated until the ride has come to complete stop.

He loves tariffs because:

A “trade deficit” is not inherently a bad thing, or a sign you’re losing money.  Everyone has a trade deficit with their grocery store.  They buy tons of food from them, but never sell them anything.  Is that a problem that needs to be fixed?

It feels like if these tariffs actually go into effect the way Trump repeatedly claims they will, it would absolutely wreck most businesses operating in the US.

Its because they know their base is fucking dumber than a bag of rusty hammers. They know exactly jack shit about even basic economics. A lot of their knowledge of money is how much one of their bro-dozers with a lift kit costs versus how much a new trailer costs. They hear that we are going to put tariffs on cars…

Economist Simon Johnson dubbed the fallout from 2008 a quiet coup. He was spot on. 

I don’t like it either, but pragmatically speaking, Dems can’t be effective as a resistance until at least 2026 and they still have to represent their population enough to get re-elected at some point. They will get blamed by Republicans regardless of the inanity of it and their lack of power in Washington, so better…

Buying access to Trump is not the same thing as actually using it.

A lot of people have terrible taste and lack intelligence, look who the new president is. 

The speedometer checks out.  The large white numbers are km/h, while the smaller, yellow numbers are mph.
