What’s he trying to distract people from? We know perfectly well these won’t actually happen.

The tariffs won’t happen? Unlike the ones he announced a couple months ago and DID follow through on?

I’d take bets on it, how many times where Canada/Mexico on/off/adjusted withing a couple days?

Edit: my guess is whenever he makes some big sweeping gesture it’s because his other hand is pilfering out collective pockets somehow.

They’ve been adjusted but they are still on.

I rwally wonder if the less mentally capable will understand the economic downfall and less (if any) social security is because of this clown.

They’ll believe whatever they’re told to believe by their respective “information sources”…

Curious to see how the MAGAt sources will spin the coming recession/depression.

🤷‍♂️ 🤦‍♀️

“It’s going to have an impact on employment and jobs, but sometimes to fix what’s really broken, you’ve got to put a little pain in it,” said John Clauer, another retiree who voted for Trump.

“I just think that people in other countries need to recognize the position that we’re in. And understand that his tariffs are being used to try to rebuild the United States economy, and to bring the deficit under control.”

Several Trump supporters who spoke to CBC News share this worry.

It’s so weird they always look outside to fix the American problems.
Instead of heavily taxing the American billionaires and giant corporations plus halving the defense budget, if only for a year or two, they expect to claim money from outside of the US to fix it all.

to promote US manufacturing

lol. Good one, imperial news.

How much of it exists at this moment to cover the lost imported goods?
How much of the “catch-up” industry can be running efficiently enough within 2 years?
(How much of that same manufacturing will not be crippled by other measures that Trump shakes out of his pants?)
