This is probably what Trump thinks, too. I can easily believe he is that stupid.
I'm also wondering just what the fuck Trump and co. are going to do with all the money obtained from these tariffs. Just, like, spend it all on hookers and blow or what? Remember how you all believed this was the party of "low taxes?" Yeah, guess what a tariff is, fuckers.
100%. If he isn't reading it from a script that someone else wrote, he knows nothing about the topics he's talking about.
He even boasts about "knowing more than anyone about XYZ", yet, it can't expand on the subject, can't answer questions about it, is vague, and reminds me of how really bad LLMs answer questions.
I found some additional articles on what he said about this, and he did indeed flat out say he expects the "other countries" to pay the tariffs. For instance, this.
That's not how tariffs have worked at any point in history.
Yup. He does a great job "selling" ideas that simply aren't grounded in reality.
Like that wall that Mexico was going to pay for. What an idiot. Did his base think the United States would just send Mexico a bill for work completed and expect them to pay it? You couldn't make this buffoonery up!
I had a boss like this. Had all these million dollar ideas but no capacity to consider that someone else had the same idea and it either made no damn sense or it had already been done and people went to jail for it. Motherfuckers dream up grifts halfway and think everyone else is an idiot or sucker for not acting on the "golden opportunity".
Well somebody did
And then people buy these unrealistic ideas and when they get harmed by reality, they somehow blame 'leftists', 'progressives', 'demon rats', 'Obama' or any other bogeyman for it.
When it's returned to the feds it's just destroyed. Federal return is just the return of debt, it's not more money.
Yeah he's literally said that he thinks the foreign country pays it
Don't forget who paid for the wall ... I mean Mexico totally was writing the checks...fucking idiots.
Would this honestly surprise you?
Considering the stories that came out about how they used the White House pharmacy as a drug dealer, no, it would not surprise me in the least.
They used what as what?
They were "improperly obtaining" opioids, sleeping medications, and powerful stimulants from the pharmacy, treating it more like their personal dealer than a medical facility.
Huh, I half expected "White House pharmacy was running drops in Washington DC and it's neighbouring area".
