Its obvious here. He threatens corporations who dont submit to the regime. If you play ball then he undoes it. This is all consolidation of his illusion of power. I say illusionn because these people live in a state of Mind that most of us will fortunately never experience. .
brrr line goes down the hole tomorrow
For fucks sake make up your mind. Tired of reading about tariffs every other day.
He forgot to buy stock before exempting it, so he has to redo
The no-takesies-backsies rule wasn’t called, bro!
To make your mind, one must have a properly functioning mind.
He made up his mind a bunch of times already, he just waits until all his friends bought/sold stocks and then he makes up his mind again.
But then you wouldn't be hearing his name every single day!!!!!
Very stable genius
He excluded Smartphones because Apple (who donated to his campaign) asked for it, I think they've realized they could just straight up ask him to tariff their competition away.
What competition does Apple have that still has a tariff? I'm a little surprised he didn't just come out and EO a program where any company that contributes X amount of dollars is exempt. Make Samsung pay also.
Dementia. Allegedly.
Yeah, though he calls it “the weave”
On Monday, Sony announced that it was increasing the price of its flagship games console, the PlayStation 5, by about 10% in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, citing a "challenging economic environment", inflation and fluctuating exchange rates. It did not announce price rises in the United States.
We call this a "just try to stop us" surcharge.
Don't these things get cheaper over time?
Trump is dumber than a bucket of hair.
I could imagine a few smart uses for a bucket of hair. How about "dumber than a potassium umbrella"?
I'd go with, dumber than a thermite firesafe.
Surely chocolate teapot is th classic. Although that tastes good - I'd wager Trump does not.
in my headcanon, Xi didn't call so his plans to announce a china-self-made-"deal" didn't follow through.
this is another tantrum.
I’m so tired of this.
Dementia here we come
Yet again he proves this true:
The only good thing that came out of the Trump tariff is the volatility index going up!
