    “I’ve decided to stop beating you. Now thank me”. Whew. You know those evangelicals are gonna eat this shit up though because that whole concept is their core belief.

    … and now corporate partners have raised food prices on everyone.

    The removal of tariffs should allow these corporations to lower their prices but they won’t … because those prices have now been normalized and will never go down. The corporations will take the savings and keep prices high.

    That was the reason for the original tariffs … that was the reason for removing them.

    They gave corporations tax breaks to save them money … then gave them an excuse to raise prices and funnel even more money into their pockets.

    They’re Making American Great Again … for a very small group of really wealthy Americans

      Also, don’t forget that IF the courts deem all these tariffs void and they have to be paid back, guess who gets the payments.

      Hint, not us.

      Sawing off the branch their prosperity is built on. Hoping, perhaps not incorrectly, that they’ll be dead before we all hit the fucking ground.

      Now that tariffs are removed we get the opportunity to implement new tariffs that will raise prices even more

        Money has more rights than people

        It’s a Plutocracy … a government run by the wealthy or those with money

        rather than

        A Democracy … a government run by the people

    The idea that this administration truly believes we’d accept this as evidence of him actually doing something is fucking insulting.

    Create the problem and take credit for undoing it. This is all Trump has ever done.

    And the MAGAt moron brigade cheers like mad…as if the Pedo-in-Chief isn’t the one who set those tariffs in the first place. Dumbasses. I’m amazed they can even breath without conscious thought.

      Team Trump took the US trade deficit with each country, divided it by our exports, and called that a “tariff” being imposed by the trading partner. They then imposed “reciprocal tariffs” of 50% of that trade deficit, with a minimum of 10%. It is shockingly stupid from a regime known for shocking levels of stupidity.
