How do we get this man to be the next president? He's always so calm, collected, and factual. He architected a soft landing and has been killing it since taking office.

"There was covid, then high inflation, then soft landing, then this."

Maybe this is just splitting hairs, but I honestly think 🥭 is a sociopath. He knows what he's doing. He just doesn't give a fuck

Sociopathy is a spectrum, and narcissism's on the weak end of it. Mango's clearly at least that far down the scale, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's clinically a lot further on it.

That makes sense, but the main issue is that on top of that, he's a fucking moron.

Him being a moron is definitely one of the problems.

He craves the attention of it all that's what it is!

I think he has no idea what the results of his actions will be. I think he's a narcissist and thought there'd be parades to applaud this not chaos in the streets.

I’d believe you if he was in his 50s or 60s, but orange bro is 80. Dementia can be a bitch.

Can we please stop glazing this man. The results should speak for themselves, it shouldnt matter whether he was playing 4D chess or genuinely believed, moronically, that tariffs would benefit the world or his own nation in any way. If he truly was an evil genius he wouldnt have done any of this, in fact if he literally just sat on his inheritance he would have vastly larger sums of money than today.
