I laughed so hard I scared the dog.

HOW? how do people believe this? I mean, seriously did they just break the knob off on the old black-and-white on the Fox channel?

A lot of Trump's policies, the tariffs being a perfect example, rely on the ignorance of the general population.

It's scary how tremendously well this has worked out for him.

That’s why Trump thinks ”tariff” is such a ”beautiful word” - his supporters don’t know what it means, and if it’d been called something easier like ”import tax”, they might be more skeptical.

You think he realizes the Arab etymology of the word Tariff? and how it was diffused into the English language through the French? I'm so glad he finds a DEI woke word so beautiful.

He doesn’t even know the word diffused I’m guessing.
