He just created the concept of customs!

Only libs remember his first term!

so, there are too many agencies and employees in Washington, but because he must thinkg “External” revenue service is a clever name hes going to create a new one.

None of his voters care so long as he’s rounding up brown people to stick in camps and women to shove in breeding centers

It is way easier to hide or obfuscate tariffs than direct consumer taxes. Since tariffs are on the import side of things, it doesn’t show up as a line item on the good you are buying, even if it is the reason for the price increase. 

This isnt even news anymore.

Same for RAM HD trucks. The starting price would be $1 million going up to nearly $2 million. The rednecks who definitely need them for doing truck things are going to love that...

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…

Simple: he’s so deep in the throes of syphilitic senility that he just plain forgot.

Whydid he hire"the best people" in his first term and then end up firing them and calling them stupid?

It’s what Republicans do.  They twice tried to tariff their way to prosperity exactly 100 years ago, and it famously didn’t really work out.

Didn’t Trump negotiate “the most beautiful deal” in the NAFTA 2.0 agreement? (USMCA) Why is he all of a sudden saying the USA is “subsidizing” Canada? 

Republicans are - I think the term is “showing their asses?” - on this Tariff thing. Tariffs represent everything they’ve spent the last decade decrying:

Whoa....missed this:

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

Except the super rich. An economic collapse is the fastest and most efficient way to take away wealth from the working class give it to the billionaire class.

No no no! My MAGA colleague said Canada would be paying Minnesota mega-loonies and North Dakota kilo-toonies when we tariff them. Because that’s how his tariffs work, of course.

No words for this lunacy.  Everyone loses.

And off the table, straight in to the potted ficus!
