Contact your Washington Senators and Representatives to do a town hall meeting LIVE in their home districts. Call 202-224-3121. Republicans will refuse but get them to refuse. Andy Biggs of Arizona outright refuses to meet his constituents. Keep calling...Don't let them weasel out...stay on it!

F*ck the middle class day.

Tariffs only help one class of people - billionaire oligarchs. The people who moved US jobs overseas, the ones who thought low wage Chinese workers were stupid. This slowed innovation in the US while China learned & passed us. The tariffs force us to buy from the oligarchs since they can't compete.

Sadly we all know that here. It is the many fanatics on FB that continues to believe the more that is taken away from them, the more he is doing it for “their best interests”. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Taxes for Americans and for others a sanction

THE ART OF THE DEAL

We've had taxation without representation since the GOP got control of the house and senate.

Don’t piss down my back and tell me that it’s raining!

You’re not gonna get any clarification or details tomorrow from Trump. Just more vagueness about how everything’s gonna be great in a couple of weeks or by the end of the month etc. I fully expect him to fold because he doesn’t have the cards

Prices, inflation will go up. I and anyone with a retirement acct do not care for it being raided by a stupid idea stuck in 47’s tiny brain

Job losses, rising costs, falling wages, rising taxes, failing services, product shortages. It's a rampaging clusterfuck of unnatural disaster! Every possible self-inflicted wound, AT THE SAME TIME! And republicans think it WON'T blow up in their fucking faces somehow...

a couple of days ago Peter Navarro said with a straight face, tariffs were a tax cut for Americans.

Lmao!!😂 😂😂😂😂

🤣

King L'Orange the turd you say? We hold these liars to be self incriminating, and all of them need to be held to account or we to do this shit all over again.

Now I have my sign for Saturday's protests: Tariffs are Taxation without Representation!

Begging the question: since our congress is failing to represent us, and FL did not count my ballot despite my following all of their rules on absentee ballots, why should I pay taxes?

Truth

Legacy media has failed America.

You watching Senator Booker. Not silent.

It’s incapacitation day.

Let's be clear: tariffs WILL raise prices!! Full stop. Why does maga think businesses off-shored manufacturing in the first place? Tax the parts, and car prices are going up.

He really does need someone to sit him down with some crayons and hand puppets to mansplain economics.

When will magas wake up? They will pay more for products, food, etc. just like the rest of us. Lies do catch up to people, sometimes after a disaster and sometimes before. Isnt it time for people to stop being abused by the dictator in waiting??????

Let's have a Tea Party! Join a march April 5th, all 50 states.

Just had a back and forth about exactly this. And they truly don’t understand how it works!

It’s also another way to screw our allies.

Tyranny!!!

April fool’s to us!

100 PERCENT

🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤯🤯🤯😤😤😤

And the money is going straight to the top 5% (anyone over 370k/year)

Why didn’t someone lob a grenade in that pic?

Time to take to the Streets of our Nation and let our voice be heard. Power to the People, not the Orange Turd in the WH

Dump doesn’t do any homework or he would not do these tariffs. Information is out there but he is pretty stupid. Maybe dump will get a windfall from the island of all seals & 🦭🐧!! Lmao!!

Exactly!

Tariffs are a way to tax the American people without their knowledge or Congressional approval and with regressive effects that do greater harm to lower-income households. It is likely as much by intention, as in effect.

🇨🇵 à chinese one?😃

Agreed. 🗽🇪🇺🇺🇦🌻

Thanks Adam. I️ don’t know why we have to keep saying tariffs are a tax on us but we do!

Taxation without representation and living under the tyranny and lawlessness of a Nazi government. What a great deal! Thanks again, Republicans.

Ditto.

We've got to move the needle on congress.

Amen

How BBC are sympathetically misrepresenting this. They forgot the category "US teen buys same shoes from Temu $15 + 25% Krasnov Tax = learn to buy more stuff online, stupid!!

Thank you for Sharing Adam!

It is liberation day because it will free all Americans from their 💵. Paying more for everything you buy and Getting less from everything you invested The Trump’s strategy is to make America competes with China by reducing wealth of Americans so they will work for nothing like in China.

Adding this similar question from another discussion bsky.app/profile/patr...

Depose Trump!!

Liberating American Taxpayers from their hard earned cash.

What a great characterization! Taxation without representation. What's more unAmerican than that?

Happy Liberation Day! Smoke 'em if ya got 'em! Also, drink 'em, eat 'em, and drive 'em.. Because very soon.. you won't be able to afford 'em.

He’s liberating us from our money and our freedom

Saying "while Congress stays silent" while @booker.senate.gov is on like his 17th hour of talking was a choice. The word you're looking for is "Republicans" until they no longer hold all the cards.

A tax on us to cover for the further tax cuts for the rich - which plan has already been outed. But they don't care - they're gonna do it anyway. Just like their December, 2017 tax cut for the rich.

We fought a revolution against taxation where we had no representation. But it is starting to look like somebody is getting fed up with being strong armed. The House has been shut down for the week because Johnson can't make his people fall in line over a vote over child care absences voting.

Are there no conservative economics who know that this will work out very bad for the US or are they too scared to say so???

MONEY IS POURING INTO THE US AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, BECAUSE OF MY (YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT) BEAUTIFUL TARIFFS! WE WILL SOON ALL BE RICH! MAGA!

Schumer will fix it! The man's a dynamo! lol

Which we in DC know well.

MAGA believes them when they say it’s a tax cut! GOP defunding education has truly paid off 4 them! I appreciate you & Cheney standing up 4 democracy now,but you both voted 4 their shit policies every f’ing time, maybe rethink that & see what those votes have led to! Take some f’ing responsibility

Tariffs are like your brother taking you to a fancy dinner, but using your credit card. YOU PAY!

But wait. Peter Navarro told me it was a tax cut?! lol.

It’s costing Americans $6,000,000,000 because the great orange one does not understand what tariffs do.

CONGRESS!! We have a CONGRESS??!!

I can't wait for these maga fans to realize what this'll mean for their pockets.

We need to stop saying tariffs. Trump Tax or Trump Inflation would be more understandable within the cult.

I think everyone should pick the price of one item at a store or online for liberation day, and provide weekly updates on its price on their social media -- can anyone make this a trend?

Raising tariffs on everything is just a new tax on those who can least absorb it.

Third grade me is legitimately confused as to how Congress has the power of the purse, yet Trump has the power of the tariff.

Well, he is taking for himself, the powers of a king…

He likes this tax because it disproportionately affects the middle and 'working' class. It doesn't affect the super rich much.

Once again, we see that idiots do idiotic things.

It’s also a regressive tax in the fact that poorer people spend 100% of their income on consumption, while wealthier people spend far less of their income on consumption. Good luck to everyone.

Donthecon thinks we'll all run out and buy a tEsla. NOPE

Frankly, if you're gonna have Robber Barons for leadership you may as well go all out have the backdrop economy to match...

Too bad his mouth breathing, knuckle dragging base doesn’t understand what you just posted

Congress should take back the power of tariff setting. It was given to the President to expedite responsiveness to trade shocks, I suppose.

the only thing about trumps's "liberation day" is that he is liberating us from our money!!

Tell it like it is adam

correct. ive been in retail a few years at certain large company's home offices. disappointed in certain ceo's.

As a Canadian, I’m still trying to figure out what he’s being liberated from?? I say ‘he’ because I don’t think anyone, including Americans, understands what the hell is talking about. Perhaps it’s his lack of intellect, otherwise why would he be aligning himself with other simple minded dictators.

📌

While he does zero to help with infrastructure, to build more US factories.

Go talk to car dealers. They are pissed. Especially the ones who voted for this shitshow.

Everyone, make sure you are watching Corey Booker on YouTube or TikTok to support his heroic filibuster. Please!

Tarriffs are a tax on the working class, and a money grab for the gluttonous pig government.

taxation to pay for his tax breaks to his oligarchs

Nope.

How the FUCK are we in a position where this madman can unilaterally impose whatever the hell his mush brain can come up with? How can tariffs be outside the checks and balances built into our government?

In my mind, Liberation day will be the day Trump and his cabal are no longer in power.

Republican abdication a scandalous betrayal of Americans

Obliteration Day

So that means it is TYRANNY.

I certainly feel like I am being taxed without representation. In a completely controlled congress and a POTUS that literally tweets how Democrats are evil! What are we paying taxes for?!?

I wonder if they're trying to make other cars cost more than Teslers in order to save the brand.

Probably time for another one.

Congress needs to reclaim its constitutional powers over foreign trade and tariffs!

According to them it will just hurt the American people for a little while. Why do they think we are so dumb!

US officials object to European push to buy weapons locally Hypocrisy. Isn’t the point of the Trump Tariff Tax to bring manufacturing back to the US. Unintended consequences? The EU is looking to bring manufacturing in-house. apple.news/Ab1sGoageSH6...

But wait Mexico will pay for the wall and China will pay for the tariffs.... he learned from that right - Oops!

Gas went up in Michigan 40 cents per gallon overnight because of tariffs threat.So all the money we pay for increase in gas prices go’s to treasury.WTF how stupid I can’t afford nothing anymore.

GD it! People are already struggling from paycheck to paycheck without the tariffs. He lied about the tariffs or he doesn’t understand how they work.

He’s also killing small businesses in USA that depend on imported goods or imported parts to make their products

Tariffs are like your brother taking you to a fancy dinner, but using your credit card. YOU PAY!

It’s more like “Termination Day”. Trump is purposely tanking the economy, Sorry for your luck but business is down and we have to let you go! Billionaires aren’t effected by a recession, they thrive in them. Tariffs and Efficiency and the two biggest scams being run by this con artist.

Trump has to expect his rampage against Americans will provoke a hue and cry. An uprising will occur.

Trump is deporting workers on farms. Florida wants 14 year olds to work 3rd shift.Education funding is being cut. But manufacturers are expected to move operations here immediately. But there is no skilled labor, can take 5 years to build a plant. They will produce a product too expensive to export.

The GOP is complicit in this. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which raised tariffs on imported goods, is widely considered to have worsened the Great Depression by triggering a global trade war and significantly reducing international trade.

Smoot-Hawley 2.0. Go check out what happened the first time. Hint: it was really bad.
