The good thing is that there’s a steady hand on the wheel exercising unprecedented levels of power. He clearly has a plan to do things, undo them, redo them, undo them again, etc. according to a clearly defined plan.
Imagine if the guy claiming dictatorial powers was just winging it from one moment to the next. What a nightmare scenario that would be.
The fart of the seal 🦭💨
We should make this emoji combo a thing, it's beautiful in it's simplicity. I, for one, will be using it more often.
🦭💨
MOAR PLEASE
Everytime I see Donald Trump's picture, I make farts noises like he shitting his pants on purpose.
a clearly defined plan
I believe it was a concept of a plan
I'd be okay with going back to a concept of a plan.
He puts the "if" in tariff.
And the "con" in economy.
Maybe the con in panopticon?
Now I understand what trump meant that tariffs would make child daycare easier. Because if everyone is unemployed then they have more time to watch their kids
Yeah.thisnisnboth incompetence and public Insider trading. They're not even trying to hide it
Once again there are choosing the course of action that sabotages their power the most.
If they want to move investors, they have to change the rules once in a consistent way that looks stable, and convince them that an investment will have time to pay off in the new environment. By changing the environment constantly and in contradictory ways they make that impossible.
Feels like the trade policy of the United States is entirely made up by four guys in a room. That's the wrong way to do politics.
One of whom is inside-trading prior to each announcement.
Only one?
That's far too generous. It's one guy on a toilet with a phone.
It isn't the work of one man or even five or six .... it's an entire political party and all their wealthy backers and supporters who are financing this circus that are either working at this, supporting it, enabling it or just standing aside and doing nothing to stop it.
Stop thinking that this is the work of one powerful person .... it's all enabled by an entire community of idiots that want all of this.
I didn't say that it wasn't. I said what it feels like. I don't want any politics to feel that way. It should feel like there's an entire organized plan behind it, but it feels like it's just some people throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks, which in itself is pretty shit.
At this rate, by next week Howard Lutnick will be reading Reddit's Wallstreetbets sub for advice on how to run the economy. The utter stupidity and incompetence are off the charts this month.
There's been rumblings of an impeachment attempt possibly happening because of these tariffs but I don't trust the rumors. If Trump actually manages to get impeached over this or something else then I will eat my shoes. Feel free to screen shot to hold me accountable.
He's already been impeached twice. A conviction from this Senate will never happen. They'd need every Democrat, the two independents, and would need to get 20 Republican senators to vote to convict. One or two I can see happening, but 20? Never.
That's why I said I'll eat my shoes if it happens. Because I don't think it's gonna happen.
Or maybe you just want an excuse to eat shoes.
Hmm maybe
Realistically how you would do ? You have leather one ? Would you boil them and add some gravy or seasonning ? Or just raw dog it and whatever ? It would be probably extra toxic in general with the amount of plastic.
I'm just gonna raw dog it ngl. I'm built different
What type of shoe? If you're not gonna eat it can I have it as a birthday present to my dog?
An adidas slip on. The foam is probably toxic but maybe I'll become an x man or smth from eating it
Right now to get impeached would require the Republicans in the house to turn on him, so if he gets impeached I would bet the senate would be more than happy to convict.
However, the house is where he has the most support right now, so I don't see that happening.
The GOP will never vote to impeach him. They're cowards who are terrified of MAGAts.
Yeah that's why I dont trust it. Our realistic best bet at getting rid of him would be when he collapses the economy and chaos erupts. Hopefully whoever our FDR 2 ends up being (if we get one ) could rally the troops and we could have a disturbed land of confusion moment lol. That song and video has been in my head alot lately.
We have always had a tarrif on ~~eurasia~~ electronics
No! It's Eastasia. I mean smartphones!
I bet all those manufacturers that decided in the 3 days that the tariffs were active on electronics to move all their operations and build new factories to America are happy that their decision was the right one after all.
The rules will surely not be changed again.
Apple supposedly flew 500 tons of new phones from China to import them before the tariffs came in last tuesday lol
I honestly can't get enough of it. All these shitty business owners are finally getting fucked over by their special baby and he's breaking their backs lmaoo
we'll beat the tariffs, I'll bring my inventory over before they go into effect
spends exorbitant fees filling planes full of phones
tariffs are suspended
(ノ゜ο゜)ノ
tariffs are suspended
Tariffs came in last Tuesday, were removed on Friday, came back on Sunday. I expect Tim Apple is loving the daily surprises.
I don't think Apple really lost much money doing that. It's not like the phones are going to spoil. They'll just send the next batch of new ones from Taiwan to backfill the inventory.
They definitely also ramped up production and ran huge overtime to get those phones delivered before the deadline. I'm pretty sure they're taking a hit for that. The whole point was to get them in before the deadline and then sell them at the inflated post-tariff price. Now that whole idea kinda doesn't work out. It's deliciously hilarious.
Instability is the plan
Apparently they are using the unplug "technique" that musk used at twitter.
Bonds are gonna crash and we'll do this all again tomorrow.
Did Muck and Zuckidiot had a meeting with the orange men begging him to not put tariffs? What about Cook? Oh my oh my, smells like market manipulation and Bribery 1 on 1. Very incentive indeed.
No take backs on a triple dog dare. Everybody knows that.
Snip snap snip snap snip snap!
That bit has been stuck in my head for a minute now, with all these re-reversals.
Do you have any idea the toll this takes on the economy?
