Trump told a campaign meeting last year that if it was up to Steven Miller, there would only be 100 million people living in the US – and all of them would look like Miller… So you probably aren’t wrong.

I think we can just remove poses since the supreme court seems hell bent on giving up their power.

All social media are data honeypots. There is a reason all the tech oligarchy was front row at his inauguration.

They speak like toddlers because the majority of Americans literally only read at a 7-8th grade level. That’s why you can’t have any nuance. Messages have to be short, clear and consistent.

It’s been on full blast since he dropped the announcement of the first set of tariffs.

Super interesting. I wonder if you could ask him where he is leaning this stuff because you wanna learn or something.

I wonder where they are getting it. Even scrolling through truth social I haven’t seen anything. They are so on message all the time it’s crazy

Unfortunately people are that dumb if not dumber, but also yes there are tons of chatbots that are sowing anger and division usually in favor of conservatives. Weird how Elon was talking about how many bots are on Twitter and has completely stopped talking about it.

What!? I was lied to?! I was told they already sold thousands!!!

Also lol for the information needed…a name and email essentially…

Right. Like is that a base rate or is that just for steel and aluminum?

Will it also need to include 5 things I did last week that were patriotic?

Red scare 3.0

Snip snap snip snap

He did just host his crypto dinner so who had his ear who was going to make boatloads of money on the EU tariffs?

It’s the same thing that happened with the last tax bill. Push dates out for the goldfish memory of most Americans to forget and then blame the opposition knowing you can block them trying to change it.

Scott Bessent also has a Husband so kinda curious how he would feel if trump ever rotated to him to throw him under the bus.

Replace Texas with Tennessee for this article.

The author keys into some points critically important that most don’t think about. America imports more manufactured goods and raw materials than it exports. As the administration has endlessly gone on about. However, it exports more ‘services’ than any country in the world. I think Trump and Lutnick simply are assuming that won’t change or come under discussion. Most of these American ‘services’ exports are heavily advantaged in favour of American exporters to the UK and the EU. That’s because these ‘services’ are effectively not taxed, nor regulated. (With a few notable exceptions.) That’s because, in the EU particularly, there has historically been a deference to America—for implied military defense against Russian attack. The Oval office meeting w Zelensky, together with ignoring Denmark re: Greenland, and Canadian 51st state rhetoric has however finally started breaking the wall. Thereby freeing the UK and Europe to trend towards now taxing and regulating such American ‘services’. That will allow UK and EU competing ‘services’ to flourish. Because, essentially, the anti-circumvention laws, besides making certain American billionaires ridiculously rich, mainly serve to inhibit innovation.

They want to make an example of her to show how far they will go to get others to fall in line.

he’d declare “total victory” if import taxes were as high as 50% a year from now

“The country will be making a fortune,” Trump told Time, claiming businesses will reshore production to the United States, adding jobs and investment — a theory debunked by a large number of businesses and economists. “Oh, zero would be easy, but zero, you wouldn’t have any companies coming in. They’re coming in because they don’t want to pay the tariffs.”

That plan faces extreme challenges, including training American workers who have been hesitant to take factory jobs (the United States has nearly half a million open factory jobs it can’t fill, according to the Department of Labor’s latest job openings report). Also, tariffs themselves have made factory construction significantly more expensive. And even if businesses wanted to reshore production, that process can take years.

We live in the dumbest fucking timeline. He’s been obsessed with tariffs since the 80s and doesn’t understand the nuance you need to use them as an actual tool.
