REPORTER: But we're seeing as a result that ports here in the US, the traffic has really slowed and now thousands of dockworkers are truck drivers are worried about their jobs TRUMP: That means we lose less money ... when you say it slowed down, that's a good thing, not a bad thing

So, according to Trump's logic: if there's a shortage of TP, the store shelves are empty so you have to go outside to find leaves to clean your nether regions, you've saved money and that's a GOOD thing!? NP that we have to wipe our butts w/ leaves. Focus on the positive - we saved money! 😂

So decimating American jobs and ending up with shortages and eventually, empty store shelves like in the late Soviet Union and 1990s Russia as I fear the US (and possibly Canada bc we import so much from the US) faces, is OK just to let that orange babbling fool keep deluding himself about tariffs?

What the fuck is he talking about? Nobody’s losing money from goods coming into this country. Do you know who MAKES money? The dock workers, the truck drivers, the shopkeepers and clerks. The greatest illusion ever created was duping people into thinking this man was a financial genius.

If Biden had said this the editorial offices for the New York Times and Washington Post would be in full meltdown as they immediately dropped dozens of “Biden is old and out of touch” pieces.

This is the most backwardass way of looking at a crumbling economy that I have ever heard. That is the mind of a child without critical thinking or reasoning skills. What is even more concerning is the mind of those "uneducated voters" that believe that this is their savior.

It’s so fun to have a total shit-for-brains president with no concept of what trade is, let alone what it means to have a deficit or surplus with specific countries. Not like these antics will have sweeping effects on the national and global economy or anything.

Not one word in that word salad about the people who are losing jobs over this. Just the ridiculous focus on trade deficits, which he seems to understand roughly as well as he understands tariffs. The question was about the people being impacted. He doesn't care about them at all.

He thinks asylum seekers are literally escaped mental patients. The man is a proudly ignorant, incurious, narcissist, surrounded and advised by those who know how to manipulate him for their financial and authoritarian ends. Once he ceases to increase fortunes, they will dump him in an instant.

The sort of person who, if they were working for you, and you couldn't fire them, you'd make sure to put them somewhere where they couldn't do any damage. Instead, he's been put somewhere where he can do ALL the damage. It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so freaking damaging.

Wow.😵‍💫 He needs to do live TV Q&As every day, like he did during COVID, so Americans can hear his gibberish over and over again until they FINALLY fucking learn that he's a crazy/stupid/lying madman whom everyone should stay the fuck away from. JESUS!😡

True. But we can't wait for Fox News watchers anyway -- they can't/won't entertain any information that contradicts their fearless leader, even when it comes directly from his own crazy, perpetually-pursed lips.

Laura
@beulahmo.bsky.social

I know.☹️ That's why I think he needs to just be live on TV so everyone can hear for themselves how crazy he sounds. No filters, no interpretations, just Trump.🤢

The stupidity is unbearable. Slowed traffic means job loss, so we lose more money there. Not to mention empty shelves means people spend less money, so we lose more money there. Small businesses stop importing products, so they lose revenue, which means we lose more money there. Anything else?

The sad part is the millions who are successfully indoctrinated by this bloviated buffoon. We are at a reckoning point, and the odds are not good.

Let’s stop sugarcoating it—MAGA Republicans are sociopaths. Antisocial, amoral, and proudly detached from reality. They’ve crossed the line from political movement to dangerous pathology. It’s time intelligent America calls them exactly what they are. They are sociopaths. Don’t forget it.

@beulahmo.bsky.social

Taking over sovereign nations (just because an autocrat wants to) is MAGA. Having violent, armed "fans" who are ready and willing to physically intimidate dissenters is MAGA.

Republicans* and tech bros want to burn this country down so they can rebuild it as they see fit. Spoiler: their version will suck for all of us. With help from corporate/aipac dems.

Imagine a "successful businessman" saying it's a great thing that the economy is slowing down! I guess the next thing he's going to say is that it's awesome if you can't pay your mortage.

"We were losing so much money paying out the winning bets. It was so unfair! So we stopped. We'll take the money when they buy the chips, but we won't pay the winning bets. That's so much more fair for us. We'd have made a fortune if it weren't for the WOKE customers boycotting us."

And he tries that "you know that" nonsense that's meant to get people on side who really DON'T "know that" but are too stupid to know otherwise (magats). They hear that and think "oh yes my president is speaking directly to me and we're so smart".

When people say they voted for him because of the economy, and they’re not upset because he’s wreaking the economy, it was never about the economy.

My fiances brother claims trump is just playing chess. He's also been in more of a financial crisis this year than ever before and takes it out on everyone in the house daily. It's cool tho. Trump is playing chess.

@hopebutterflies.bsky.social

Most people voted for this 🍕💩 because he hates the same people they hate. Plain and simple. It’s about hate and getting rid of people they all hate. I know a lot, like a lot of people who still say “he’s going to clean our country” 🤬

Of course not, he has people to do that for him... This is the problem with the rich arsehole class, they've never actually had to DO anything for themselves so they have no idea how things work. Donnie is particularly fucking stupid though.
