Uh oh, Ben. Big Mad Trump's gonna like Michael better if he finds out what you said. Meaning: if the Printer Lady gives him a readout, in her own obsessive quest to split off the Not Sycophantic Enough from the Knob Kissers.
Ta, Evan. The entire reich wing nuttosphere thinks our brains are as addled and full of holes as those of the MAGAts. No, assholes, we remember EVERYTHING and we have the receipts.
Conan the Barbarian was a more sophisticated political thinker than Donald Trump, and a lot more honourable. Literally. Check his outburst to the corrupt kings who have beggared their own kingdoms and want to take over his, in the Conan story by the original 1930s writer, "The Scarlet Citadel." Then try to imagine mad King Donald refusing to sell out his people.
Reminder, that when Trump was campaigning, and the stock market was hitting new highs every day, he claimed that was because "the markets anticipate me winning in November, and they're already excited about it, so everyone's just getting rich in anticipation of my return."
But somehow, now, when Trump's the *actual* president, the stock markets have decided to go and take a dump all over everyone's 401K.
Setting aside the deeply disturbing psychology of it all and outright lying, this part in particular raises a question for me: "The broad economic vision has remained the same from his inauguration, before that, from the campaign trail, really going back to his first run for president, and even go back to the '80s when he was complaining about the same kinds of economic problems and social consequences of those problems that he was talking about when he ran for president."
He was already president for 4 years, you absolute doorknobs. Why didn't he do anything then?
I have zero recollection of Trump stating there would be economic tension and pain in any of his campaign speeches and interviews. It was all "only I can fix it" and "it will be so easy to do."
Krasnov ran on a promise of lower grocery prices and a booming stock market on day one. Of course, we all knew he was full of shit and every rightwing talking head knew he was full of shit, but they went with it because that’s what the rubes wanted to hear.
Now he’s burning the economy down and the markets are panicking because they don’t know what insane tariff idea he’s going to announce tomorrow. But the talking heads all have to keep saying “it’s good that you’re destroying everything, please don’t send us to the cornfield.”
Never in the history of this country has there been so much cowardice.
Ben: “If the idea is that tariffs themselves enrich the American people, that is against pretty much all economic knowledge for the last couple of centuries or so.”
Chump: "Did I say you could talk? Keep sucking!"
Ben: “What is the goal of all of this? Seriously, I don't understand. What is the goal?”
Chump: "Don't forget the balls!"
Ben: “I'm gonna need some clarification as to how this is actually going to, in the short term, medium, and long term, benefit Americans.”
When you have a coordinated propaganda apparatus that is more than wiling to lie, you can get a lot of stupid people to believe just about anything. Just look at the prime example: these people think Trump, who literally tried to stop a presidential election from being certified, is somehow a great patriot.
What really comes through all this tariff action is how little Donald Trump considers the humanity of the people impacted by any of his brainless and belligerent "policies." When you slap a huge tariff on some item or other, businesses and consumers suffer. But he doesn't care about that, and may even derive sadistic pleasure from the travails of the "little people." What a worthless, petty S.O.B. he is!
Good lord! I mean, I have both mommy and daddy-issues but I have never felt the need to go back for some more passive-aggressive humiliation and abuse after I left.

It's a jungle in there. Hope you understand that.

He's always giving overdramatic theater kid despite being a trained actor.

Trump would do it fast, and cheap.
Let's ask Michael Knowles what Daddy would be doing differently if his goal was to destroy America for Vladimir Putin.

Yes, this is exactly as dumb as it sounds.

I have zero recollection of Trump stating there would be economic tension and pain in any of his campaign speeches and interviews. It was all "only I can fix it" and "it will be so easy to do."
He claimed that it would be very easy, very quick, and he would do all of it ON DAY ONE.
We went from, "I'm going to fix the egg prices on Day 1," to, "You should think about raising chickens in your back yard," in five weeks.
I'd love to see a super cut of all the things Trump promised he would do on Day 1.

Simultaneous recession and inflation are here. Market free fall continues.
"Let them not eat eggs !!!!"
Inflession? Recation? We need new terms.

This has been living in my head every time one of DJT’s appointees tries to talk policy.
We’re being held hostage by people so dumb they have no concept of how dumb and incapable they are. Oí vey
