Man’s really out here acting like tariffs are a cheat to fix everything. This whole move screams “short term flex, long term mess.” BRICS isn’t gonna back down just because Trump said so on Truth Social.
It’s going to be fun when americans understands this.
Americans have an amazing capacity to not understand things for centuries after the fact. Some of them are still in denial about why the civil war happened.
When the consequences of Trump’s tariffs become clear, they’ll just blame the closest Democrat.
Something I think Trump is great at is pointing at other factors for why things would be bad. For instance he will point to the imigration and other thing instead of his own actions. I fucking hate this guy but I have to admit he is good at what he is doing and that is lying.
Mostly because even the mainstream media will never call him out on it. There’s never been a headline like ‘Trump lies about ___’, despite him constantly, knowingly lying.
That is not really true. Also if the news would have to constantly say he was lying (which they do) then thry would use all there time on it because he lies constantly.

Not ‘lies about immigrants’, it’s ‘repeats false claims’, implying that he has no agency or responsibility when he does this, just the same passive voice reserved for officer involved shootings and spontaneous explosions in Gaza.
They never dare to use ‘lie’. If you’re going to write the article anyway, call things what they are.
Of course they don’t, otherwise they get sued, then the onus is on them to prove that Trump knew it was false at the time he said it.
Good luck proving that.
Don’t bet your savings on that, he did the same bullying moves last time and look where we are now.
Large assumption that my fellow Americans will understand this. They’ll just spin it as bidens fault or some shit. Zero accountability or understanding necessary.
77 million won’t, 74.5 million will say “I told you so, I’ve been telling you so, how are y’all such a goddamn bunch of deplorable morons?”
80 million will continue to be either unable to vote in federal elections or just actually dumber than the Trumpers.
