We're acting as if he has no advisors. Thought experiment: let's assume they know EXACTLY what they are doing. Assuming that, what would be their game plan?
He truly has an obsession with draping the American flag everywhere to boost his "patriot" image, and with his desire to waste money on military parades he looks more like Kim Jong Un than an American President.
It’s so freaking embarrassing this clown got re-elected. 🤦♂️
This is entitled daddy brat who inherited business and people who will run that for him, literal idiot, and somehow people expecting he will be “good for economy” or for anything for that matter, it is hard to comprehend that stupidity
Plus, he walked away without signing the bill and had to be escorted back!
The world is now more dumber by hearing this speech. Trump should be charged for this speech.
The dmfp voters, sure F'd over their kids & grandkids!!!
What more to expect from the idiots who started a war on education
Don't sell Trump short, he's illiterate in other ways, too, like… literacy.
This economist is one of the dumbest people I've ever heard!
More money for wealthy people while they dig us a deeper whole.
Yes, finally some numbers to crunch. Damning evidence. Thanks
bros edgucated just enough to not use his thumb to sign
Just for once, a clickbait which doesn't exaggerate.
"It is 87 seconds to Midnight."
Omg how stupid is killing himself in those decisions
Oh and turkey, russias buddy, gets a light tarriff? 😂 shocking
From America, PLEASE HELP
Its amazing to see how Americans got brainwashed to an extent where theyll blindly parrot anything this grifter says. Dont get me started on that "assassination attempt"
Has anyone any clue to why would the Trump administration do this? Whats the end game?
Dopes!!
The lunatic has escaped from the asylum aka Donald dump
The republican Fox idiots believe anything Trump says, HA, ESPECIALLY if they haven’t a clue what he actually said.
Well aren’t you in luck because you have four more years for you to repeat that phrase. You’ll probably repeat it regularly. It’s about to be your new catch phrase you’re going to say it so often.
The whole world is responsible for giving America their status which they never deserved
After the great depression was a boom.
Trump is tanking the stock markets o people will dump their stocks in a panic so rich people can buy them back at a much lower price…that’s what’s going on. Holding the executive orders up, like a 4 year old, proud of his scribble 😂😂😂
I’m loosing my retirement savings, thank God Trump is saving us. Such a great business man
Wake up…hes really
Bad for this country.
This guy probably thinking that trade deficit = loss like in the stock investment
He doesn't have any idea how trade deficit really benefiting dollar's reserve currency status in global trade and US hegemony as a whole. But I am happy that finally Trump crushing US Dollar dominance in global trade using Tarrifs, so America can't be arrogant anymore, soon…..
OK, so the guy is saying this is bad…
Lol, qui pay up SUCKERS
"What you had is someone, who is the president of the United States, speaking almost absolute nonsense".
Nothing has changed from his first term, I see. Except now he is surrounded by enablers. They are all teaitors and should be sent to that El Salvador prison.
France has lot of money to spend on Ukraine war. Why they are worried about share market and economy. France can spend money on war.
That's what you know. It's not lie. Its the correct action
