I feel like I should start wearing a mask again in stores and other crowds, because this administration is going to kill me if I wait for the experts.

ps There are no experts anymore just these anti vaccine loony fuckshits.

They used an AI to come up with the tariff rates. There's no actual proof that trump can count past single digits.

So he's giving the other countries a 90 day reprieve to seek other trading partners? Ones that aren't dictated by a toddler who thinks random mood swings are the basis of a sensible foreign trade policy? Smart move, trump.

Oh they do, but usually not by choice.

I wonder what percentage of that is going to be kicked back to trump as a commission?

He'll throw Starlink under the bus because his ego can't handle admitting he's a trash gamer.

When we're in a bona fide depression he's going to point to this as the reason he failed. "Look, if China, those damn Chinese, if the China had just let me grab them by the wallet, if they played nice, well we'd all by billionaires by now. I promise. The best billionaires. Believe me. It's China's fault."

As soon as they feel economic pain: I didn't vote for this.

They're fine with racism. They're fine with homophobia. But mess with their investments? The whining is going to be historic.

The effects of Trumps tariffs and Musk's meddling are barely being felt yet though. We're on the precipice of economic disaster but most Americans aren't feeling it personally yet. Once they do and the leopards are out eating faces in earnest the protest numbers will go way up. Unlike usual recessions which most lay people don't really understand this has a clear origin point: Trumps idiotic tariffs. There's no spinning that.

Goddamn there's being a pathetic simp, and then there's wearing a "Trump was right about everything" hat. People theorize that Musk is the boss in their relationship but I bet some trump crony put the hat in his hands and said "wear it". And he did. And then later asked if trump saw him wearing it.
