Sounds like these dummy CEOs don’t realize that losing money costs you nothing maybe they need to go read Art of the Deal and find out how a real man runs (and subsequently destroys) businesses!

I mean he covers that in the article. He straight says the tariffs will bring in money and then the new manufacturing will bring in more on top of that:

Those tariffs next year will make us $1 trillion, in addition to the $1 trillion thousands of companies are going to relocate back into the United States,

I still genuinely am not sure if he legitimately understands tariffs. Like, surely he knows they are paid by the importer. He has to right? But time and time and time again he says that other countries will pay the money. I’m assuming he’s just lying but I can’t even tell anymore.

Regardless this $1 trillion he’s claiming are absolutely just a tax on Americans.

I feel like at some point there will be so much banned that every government document is just going to be like caveman talk about how amazing petroleum and guns are

Gas good and drill good so money good too. All is good if gas is gas. Oil and gas and drilling is great. Guns for army man. Make America great again.

Unless I have the law wrong, he skirted the law. He didn’t pay anyone to vote (although he originally said he was), he technically only paid them to sign a petition. The law afaik only says you can’t pay people to vote (regardless of who, in Wisconsin you straight up cannot pay people to vote at all), you can pay them to sign a petition.

However I would argue that by first announcing that the money would go only to people who voted and then subtly changing it later is still totally a form of bribery. People absolutely voted for a chance at that money because of his original statement and didn’t know it changed. But I’m going to go out on a limb here and say he’ll be 100% fine because of technicalities (aka he’s rich as shit and is completely untouchable)

My bet is the matrix. Everything bad is the matrix. What the hell is the matrix? Nobody knows, doesn’t matter, but it’s responsible for all bad things that happen to him.

He changed it. He said that at first and then changed it to only people that signed some petition against judges that told trump he couldn’t do something. My guess is a lawyer looked at it and told him it was blatantly illegal.

I actually looked for this and the only thing I could find is some of them were saying that it would cause people to seek out less reputable and riskier banks because by not being able to charge people out the ass for overdraft fees the good banks would be forced to limit or eliminate overdraft protection.

Others just said the law shouldn’t have been passed in the first place because it was passed using some rule that allowed it to pass with a simple majority and you couldn’t filibuster.

I’ll let you decide what to make of that but it seems… less than sound reasoning.

That reminds me of a tweet I just saw from the White House celebrating the fact that he’s signed more executive orders than any president in history at this point by far. Which is… fine I guess but just seems like a really really strange thing to be super proud of to me.

Tweet in question

Next to the president, he literally may be the most untouchable person in the country and is very very high on that same list globally. Even if he somehow does get in trouble for literally anything, he would be pardoned faster than you can say covfefe

It still blows my mind that he has this reputation. His OWN damn policy was and still is “Freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.” Which is blatantly censorship and suppression lol. I cannot grasp how someone could see that and be like “free speech is back!!!”

It will tho. This will 100% work. Musk will say there was some backdoor hacking bull crap going on and the journalist snuck into the meeting and then made it seem like he was invited by accident to make them look bad. It will be played off as a nasty attack that was only meant to make the Republican heroes of this country look bad while also risking national security and the lives of those in the military.

And they will eat it up like pigs. God I hope I’m wrong.

This whole thing is (yet another) perfect example of the narcissists prayer:

That didn’t happen. And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. And if it was, that’s not a big deal. And if it is, that’s not my fault. And if it was, I didn’t mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

Lmao Waltz saying he is going to try and figure out “how the heck he got into this room” and then the first text screenshot literally says “Michael Waltz added you to the group” is so goddamn hilarious to me.

I was just saying that cars and medications were just too damn cheap in this country. I feel like I’m stealing at this point. Surely this will make America great again!

Lol “I’d like to formally announce the new head of The Office of Child Care…”

“You brought these kids to West Virginia, a place as I know as almost heaven and put them in hell. The court will now put you in yours. May God have mercy on your souls, because this court will not."

That’s kinda fire actually

You must be new here. They just say it didn’t happen and poof it didn’t happen

I do absolutely think that going on podcasts and streams are a fantastic way to get younger voters. They certainly aren’t watching msnbc or cnn or Fox news or something like that.

Trump’s spree of twitch streams and podcasts just before the election seemed to do wonders. Granted it’s anecdotal but I work with tons of highschool and college aged kids and I cannot tell you how many kids I heard saying how awesome he was with Adin Ross or logan Paul or Theo von or Joe Rogan and on the Flagrant podcast etc.

There are obviously a shit ton of other things the Dems should be doing and not looking hilariously out of touch in almost every appearance is probably #1 but I think avoiding podcasts and streams is a very dumb move at this point.

I just want an adult at this point. Preferably a non-ancient one but I’ll take what I can get.

Member when project 2025 specifically called for this (and basically all the other shit thats happening) and Trump said he didn’t know anything about it or any of it’s creators and then put all of them in power and followed virtually every single part of project 2025 like his asshole would explode if he didn’t?
