Trump is like the plague, literally.
If he goes on like this, the stock market will drop more than during COVID.

Whose plan was a disaster.

An old friend from the TTA days who is currently traveling the globe taking fish pictures, posted about this and I thought he was joking.  Turns out - not so much.

Of course he's a fucking moron. Everybody around him is a fuckin moron. Hell they are even too incompetent to effectively destroy American democracy. Incompetence par excellence.
Of course everybody who tries to read some sense into this like bels journalist, and Bel, is a fucking moron too ( or paid actor in Bels case). Why is this even a point still after ..what, 9 years now ? Why the waste of all the bandwidth for all these fucking morons!?

All of this has reached levels of absurdity for which we don't even have words.

Just one further example of the moronism: A co worker approached me this week. A conspiracy theorist, Holocaust denier and clear nei-nazi, albeit with an msc in electronics engineering. Out of the blue he tried to introduce me into the idea that chernobyl in the late 80s, was not fault of Soviet Russia .
No, guess whose fault it was: USA
The USA sold electronic chips to Russians, which, after years of aging, activated hidden circuits, which in return fucked up the reactor control.
This is so absurd on so many levels.... And particularly the moron with an engineering degree should have known better. But guess what. He spewed this with a sense of confidence, mind boggling. ...and he is not the only one.

I decided to stop engaging with morons like this, Bel or some random religious numbnut in meaningful conversation. I will ridicule and scirn these trolls and morons, that's all they deserve and that's all I have left to give to them.

I fucking am really out of fucks to give about this 21st century moronism and fuckery

Trump was right about bleach mind, it will kill covid, but sadly it would also kill anyone drinking it stone dead. Moron, or creative genius?

Yeah, I am going to go with rich, entitled, narcissistic, moron. Trump, not Bel, I have no idea why he (bel) says such silly things.

Parenthetical to the main point, does anyone really believe a billionaire as entitled as Trump, fast approaching his 80's, gives a fuck about the economy, beyond how it affects him / his wealth, and other rich entitled billionaires?

Trumpty dumpty spared his Vladdy daddy from the beautiful tariffs.

Quote:Mr. Trump’s policies are also complicating decisions for smaller American businesses. Brenden McMorrow, co-founder of Move2Play, a toymaker based in Torrance, Calif., said the company built all of its products in China since it started about nine years ago. But it began to consider factories in Vietnam or India to protect against Chinese import tariffs.

In Vietnam, it found that the factories run by Chinese companies using materials from China were not much cheaper. Instead, it decided to try a test run of manufacturing one of its toys in India — a decision that Mr. McMorrow said looks better with the lofty tariff imposed on Vietnam. It studied whether it could manufacture in the United States, but he said that the costs were roughly five times higher than in China.

And despite the higher cost of tariffs, he doesn’t see U.S. production as any more viable now.

Even the Wall Street Journal is saying that tariffs are taxes, but most Republicans won't because, you know, they are against raising taxes.

Such huge hypocrites.
