If anyone else other than Trump did anything wrong it was like the world was ending. When it's Trump everyone has kid gloves on.

That’s because no one trusts what Trump says, even his supporters. It’s literally what a supporter of his said to me when the tariffs were first talked about weeks ago. “Oh he won’t go through with it.” So you are okay supporting someone who will lie to you. Okay

the funny thing about all this— I know someone who works on Wall Street, before the election I had asked, “so what are people in your land worried about?”

turns out all the finance people were already freaking about tariffs because for some reason Trump, who believes almost nothing, truly believes in tariffs, and has been harping on this since the 80’s.

it’s been surreal watching this all play out over the last few months.

Trumps been in politics for 10 years now and it’s been nonstop saying and doing incredibly stupid things. These tariffs are the most predictable thing in the world.

No, it's almost as if the man is, what's the word? Stupid.
