Did he learn the word tariff last year and just really fell in love with it?

Nope, he was in love with it since his first term when he put those disastrous ones on China

Yeah but that’s when that was one issue, now he’s like, trying to use it for literally everything… WHAT you fell and hurt your elbow? Let’s put some tariffs on there and wrap that up with some nice tariffs.

It is a pretty work. Like, the t is a nice tan and you grt a really nice red/gold with the ar. The iff is just a nice white that ties it all together.

Still, this is not what you base your economic policy around.

He almost sunk the whole farming industry if it wasn’t for the 40b bailout last year. Yeah, he knew the word tariff 4 years ago. Lol

There was a hilarious moment at the Capital One Arena on inauguration day I haven’t been able to get out of my head since. Paraphrased :

“Tariff!! What a wonderful word. My favorite word in the English dictionary. Y’know the fake news always tells me ‘Trump, what about words like God, religion, or love?’ And you know what? That’s fair. My favorite words are : Number one; GOD. Number two, Religion. Number three - well I guess it has to be number three; Love. And number four; TARIFF.”

I for one welcome the new golden age of volatility
