The 1920s was the last gasp of the Gilded Age, when America’s robber barons ripped off the nation’s wealth &the rest of the US had to go deep into debt to maintain their standard of living &maintain demand for what the nation produced The debt bubble burst in 1929.

He know how they work. He also just knows if he makes up shit his base will believe him. Or make up reasons later as to why ‘well, actually what he said was’ and how it was accurate in some sort of time-folded alternate universe.

THEY = US consumers and businesses. They will pay with higher prices, job losses, 401K declines, and sharply higher mortgage rates when US treasury markets melt down - sending yields towards 5% on 10 years or higher.

"You're going to get a lot of money" WTF! Is it possible he's contemplating tRump bailout checks to the thousands of businesses that will fail as a direct result of his tariff obsession?

The only problem is what the fuck distraction is he going to come up with before August 1st so you forget about this, the concern is it will have to be something big 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I truly believe this falls in the concepts he can’t understand category. Like asylum seekers and groceries. I would be willing to bet he sincerely believes tariffs are paid for by the other country.

It took this Idiot months to understand that Putin is cheating him. How long does it take him to tell the truth that tariffs are paid by businesses and consumers pay in America. State collects money from the businesses and businesses from citizens.

Budget surplus when no meaningful financial reporting has happened since he took office?!?! If there’s a surplus it’s Biden’s…Oh and why can’t your cabinet heads get their stuff together and actually submit budgets for the coming year???

SME on tariffs here. the mango mofo is an idiotic lying sack of shite. apologies to sacks of shite. importers pay tariffs. customers pay higher prices. the only ones making money are in this admin - once they raid the treasury. “<it>You'll be very happy because you're gonna get a lot of money”

So the tariffs will magically go into my bank account somehow, damn I can't wait to be rich! The BS he sells to MAGA that they fall for never fails to amaze me. They will be waiting for this landfall just like the DOGE checks!

"They" have to start paying? Actually, no "they" don't have to pay anything, the US importer has to pay, and then the importer passes on the additional cost into their distribution channels. It's a "tax" on Americans. Imbecile.

In grade 5, I had a rich classmate. We both liked skiing & he bragged how he would take me on his family ski trip out west and would even buy me a new jacket. My parents rolled their eyes at all of it. Anyway we never did go & in HS his dad’s company filed for bankruptcy & his parents divorced

In light of the Big Beautiful Bill, won't the money be going to ICE? It seems like they are cutting Medicaid, schools, climate, etc., to find enough money to build concentration camps.

Hi, Americans. Europe here. Please DM your bank details and an admin fee of $10 will be charged to your account for the transfer of billions in tariffs. Your POTUS has asked me to ensure you all get what's coming to you. Allow 90 days for complete transfer. Your friend, Europe.
