  2. This guy spent his whole campaign talking about all the different parts of the house he was going to cover in gasoline and now people are starting to worry when he starts reaching for the matchbook. He’s going to completely destroy this country from the inside out from his ignorance and spite.

  3. Who are the stupid shits who believed Chump could control retail prices?

  4. Oh noes the face eating leopard is about to eat our face.

    If only someone would have warned us.

    HA! HA!

  5. If people are this spun up now, I can only imagine the screeching once he actually takes office. Don’t make Trump or anti-Trump a part of your identity.

  6. It’s elementary that tariffs raise prices.  The strategy he needs to lean into is increasing jobs, pay for jobs, and competition to hire employees.  If we can get wage growth to outpace cost increases then we’ve become successful.

    Who knows if it will work.  I suspect tariffs alone will not bring prosperity.  I think legislation will need to be passed simultaneously to enact the larger strategy.

  7. Wait. Trump lied? C mon. Next you’ll tell me the sun’s hot.

  8. Sorry, I opened this box of Ooops all billionaires and that’s just how its going to be. You’ll al just have to get over it.

  11. Taking bets on the mental gymnastics that will follow, from Trump supporters, to try and explain away the rise in consumer costs following Trump’s tariffs.

  12. I hope his tariffs cause his is base to turn on him followed by his enablers in Congress to do the same. Maybe they’ll finally remove him from office like they should have done the first time.
