Trump isn't just a fucking moron who doesn't understand diddly about how the world works, and really believes 1930s-style beggar-thy-neighbor policies are smart. He's a fucking criminal out to manipulate global markets to make a killing for himself and the billionaire class. The idea that this asshole gives a shit about egg prices -- let alone waste, fraud and abuse -- is utterly laughable.

He and his followers are literally 'degenerates', energy vampires and black magicians who, rather than seeing themselves as custodians of this planet and its inhabitants for the duration of their lives, seek to suck up everything for themselves like a black hole, in denial of the fact that they are, in the end, not immortal, but rather time-limited carbon units with an expiration date, and that nobody gets out of this world alive.

Why continue to call them tariffs? Why not call them what they really are, according to Jen Rubin and I for one agree with her:

Consumer and user TAXES.

Great explanation! When Stupid people elect a Stupid leader, Stupidity results. Lemmings wouldn’t destroy themselves if they just stop jumping off of cliffs. But…..they’re not smart enough to alter course. Sadly……how else do you explain the State we’re in…..with a man who isn’t qualified to do ANY job that requires engagement with reality……let alone President of the United States?

I hope everyone enjoys paying so much more for heat and air conditioning, on top of food and every other damn thing you need.

Does Trump believe trade wars and economic instability will achieve “greater American prosperity?” I believe he is a self-destructive man determined to take all with him. Listen not to the man; watch what he does. Over and over.

Paying more sales taxes and creating greater inflation than what we already have does nothing for anyone. It’s basically a pissing contest to see who blinks first.

You are trying to discuss something with someone who will not discuss anything with anyone. I do not think this will get us anywhere.

Very scholarly and correct. But pretty weak tea.

He says that tariffs lead to economic pain & crises and contribute to the rise of dictatorships and fascism. That’s “pretty weak tea”? He says that rules governing tariffs and trade advance world peace and prosperity and make nationalistic conquest and violence unnecessary. I like his weak tea. It’s new to me and quite relevant when our president talks about taking over other countries and is marching our country into a recession or worse.
