I mean... yeah. I'm not in the USA and I will probably also feel the effects of whatever tariffs are placed. It seems like he's already preparing excuses for when things don't pan out. (Not to mention the immigration issue and so on)

I'm sure he is.

Every president in recent memory has lost control of Congress here in the US at the midterms, and it's because of nonsense like this. Trump's next term will be no different. No president since LBJ has made a good-faith effort to actually do what they promise, so one has to have plausible deniability to try and survive in Washington.

… at the midterms …

We get to have midterms?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yes, there will be midterms.

Donald’s supporters will be very disappointed. He’ll have to apologize for that, too.

They definitely will be.

In 2028 we'll see 20,000,000 voters who just decide not to vote instead of 10,000,000, and it's because no matter who we elect the poor and working class have to struggle, so why miss a day of work to vote?

And I can't guarantee that if I swing my arms around and walk towards you, you won't get hit.

But he says he can guarantee that it won't not raise prices.

I'm sure going through his enemies list and raising taxes on virtually every single item most Americans purchase is going to improve the prices of eggs, I guess?

Gonna keep that Samuel L. Jackson clip ready for all the FAFO idiots that voted for this shit: "Yes you did! YES. YOU. DID!"

Trump says he can't guarantee that shooting yourself in the foot won't hurt

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

These are just excuses for doing nothing. The pre-election chatter doesn't matter because he's elected.
