The sad thing is, EVERY expert on economics and financial markets worldwide has warned that Trump would plunge the USA and the entire world into the abyss with his tariffs. Even his own party colleagues knew it, but the greed for power and money turned them into spineless yes-men.
How dare you blaspheme against the Holy God of Tariffs? While mere economists cower behind 'data' and 'reality,' the Divine One reshapes global trade through sheer willpower and divine tweetstorms. Collapsing supply chains? A test of faith. Skyrocketing prices? A heavenly tithe. His light blinds the unbelievers, his herd grazes on delusion, and his miracles are best understood in bankruptcy court. Praise be.
It’ll get better!!! Think of the long term!!! Don’t worry about retiring, Jimbob, your grandchildren yearn for the mines and the Nike sweatshops, do it for them!
It’s terminal… they will go completely Jonestown before ever having that moment you mention.. maybe when it’s grapes of wrath level bad, some of the less stupid ones will have that moment of clarity.
Meanwhile conservatives found a new reason for the market crashing and it‘s just coincidentally aligning with umpalumpa holding his bogus flipchart into the camera lense!
They now claim:
„the Stock market was inflated and overvalued anyways and financial experts always said the bubble will burst. Only liberals think stock markets have infinite growth“
I guess it’s a W for Joe, that it’s not his fault anymore for leaving behind a failing economy.
Thats the entire point of these tariffs; lower the cost of everything, make companies go bankrupt so that Trumps billionaire buddies can go in and buy signifiant percentages of the market.
Dumb question, do you have good resources for this? (I'm not disagreeing, I'd just like to learn more, I'm struggling to keep up with both learning the things I need to know and balancing life).
He is allready opening up his umbrella, media are allready making headlines liie: If this tarrifplan fails it will cost the head of Lutnick. Trump will face no consequences at all, EVER.
Imagine voting for this clear as day modern robber baron looking to tank everything and buy it up. We need a huge labor movement so our economy can get out of the massive pump and dump cycle that is designed to filter our tax dollars to the rich. But wait for the bailout to come in 3 years at the end.
Trump and the GOP never listen to real experts. They always ignore the consensus of experts.
They always find someone that says it's ok to do what they want to do, and that's their "expert", and it's usually someone that is paid by the people that benefit from their policy, and they aren't respected in their field by their peers.
