    At this point I can’t believe anything Trump says. How do we know he’s not hoping the courts reverse them? Then he can claim the courts for them not being implemented while getting cleared of his own disaster is policy

    What he didn’t mention is that ‘FAILURE AND DISGRACE’ is also the likely outcome if courts DON’T strike down his tariffs. He’s screwed the economy either way at this point.

    Tariffs are just the government taking money from the people after all. Kind of like the UK tea tax.

      If the US doesnt drop the tariffs quickly, the world is actively working on new deals that remove the US entirely from the world stage.

      Like how Japan is dropping US lumber and LNG for Canada’s offerings.

      Or how Japan and South Korea are offering their military hardware to Australia and Canada.

      Or how Toyota is opening a new plant in Canada

      All of the “deals” he has are just meaningless letters of agreement that placate him while the real work happens.

      Well if they don’t its more failure but if they do he can say its all because of this one thing and not the mounds of idiocy in his policy and administration.

    Has Trump released all the Epstein files yet like he campaigned on and promised to do just yet? Asking for pretty much the entire planet here.

    Fuck Trump, death to pedophiles.

    Unless every Republican and every conservative Democrat is removed from every office in the country and held accountable for their crimes, there will be a Great Depression. Therefore, a Great Depression in the US is guaranteed.

    One of the worst things about this second Age of Insane Shit is all the headline photos of his grizzled, painted, rapist, greasy-ass mug.

    SO fucking gross.

    The main thing getting depressed if the tariffs are struck down will be Trump. He can’t handle anyone telling him he can’t do something.
