Trump on why he announced a tariffs pause: "I thought people were jumping a bit out of line. They were getting a little bit yipee."

Really? Because last night you were saying it was because everyone was begging for mercy. Lying asshole. I hope former allies are using this time to shore up their own stable trade deals and tell him to get stuffed in a few months.

“They were jumping out of line” means the tariffed countries were “looking for new partners and not succumbing to him”! “Getting Yipee means they “were retaliating & pushing back” = tRump wasn’t winning!

Theory: any product of these tariff negotiations will be stuff that has already been in the works or agreed to for months or years, or they’ll be so incremental that they would have never been newsworthy under any other president.

“A big strong man with tears in his eyes said “Sir, you need to help those poor countries. So I am.” “Actually, that was Elon and it was him he wanted you to help. And you haven’t.”

He always caves on his particularly stupid decisions. Now let's incorporate his horrible idea of a birthday parade into our next protests. See if we can get him to back down on that huge waste of our tax dollars too.

It is, in fact, true that no other president would have done what he did. Up until now, save one example from 2017 through 2020, all of our presidents have been more or less sane. Not to say that they haven't had issues or made mistakes, but they weren't actually fucking bananapants.

What the F does that even mean??? Is that what you call it when you watch your retirement funds go down the poop shoot & you know the cost of everything from groceries to clothes to cars is going to be even more than it is already??? A bit out of line?? A bit yippee? FU You POS !!!

Some analysts talk about market capitulation, others talk about things getting a little bit yipee. He Must have learned about that in his advanced undergrad seminar at Wharton.

I've seen a theory that Trump appeals to mediocre people *because* they know how unfit he is, rather than despite it. It makes them feel good about themselves. Smart, competent people make them feel insecure in comparison. Rather than work on themselves, they take us all down.

Anyone else in any other position behaving this irrationally would be assessed. It astounds me how many are choosing to let him behave this way. You have to ask why…

No no. He’s not saying *he’s* too emotional. He’s saying *other people* are being too emotional. He had it all under control and then everyone else started freaking out, so he magnanimously backed off a bit. For now. 🙄🙄🙄

Rational anger in women is seen as losing control. Irrational anger in a male is seen as bravado. We need to work on perceptions of rationality and actions along w everything else that drives biases.

It stinks that women get chastised for having a full range of emotions. While men get chastised for holding it in too much. We should ALL be allowed to express our full range of emotions regardless of the norms expected.

Agreed although after years of dealing with divas (is there a masculine word because the behavior is universal) I'd like to add we should all be able to express HEALTHY emotions. Too many Trumps. Not enough Hillarys and Kamalas.

Step 1. Propose tariffs Step 2. Stock market crashes/ retirement plans wiped out Step 3. Rinse/repeat Step 4. Post that weak people don't give up or something similar Step 5. Say now is good time 2 buy stock Step 6. Billionaires start turning on u Step 7. You blink and postpone tariffs for 90 days

“No other President would have done what I did. I know the Presidents, they wouldn’t have done it. I’m the dumbest President ever. No President has been as dumb as me, none. I think you’ve all seen that now.”

Senator Rand Paul he’s talking to you. You had the nerve to actually break through the fog, and expose the emperor for having no clothes. When the insane is told that he’s insane. It snaps them back into a temporary reality. So he needs to prove he’s not by actually acknowledging what’s happening.
