  1. *It is hard to say if these MAGA morons really think this is some sort of grand gesture or if they just spew out robotic praise like good little sycophants. I kind of think it’s both.*

    “If getting rid of tariffs to lower prices is ‘Winning!’, does that mean implementing the tariffs that [raised prices](https://x.com/TalosDreams/status/1989824262631534709) was ‘Losing,’” one commentator wrote on X

    “Some Trump boosters were overjoyed. “The Trump Administration has signed an Executive Order that eliminates tariffs on Steaks,” Ian Jaeger, a self-described political commentator with 340,000 followers wrote on X. “[This is HUGE](https://x.com/IanJaeger29/status/1989475001137832047).”

    “In response, Gunther Eagleman, a MAGA commentator with 1.4 million followers jumped on the bandwagon, writing, “[Winning](https://x.com/GuntherEagleman/status/1989787097629069343)!”

    *”FOX News* announced the administration’s reversal with the headline: “[WALLET RELIEF](https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1989500446961201323).”

    “When asked about his decision Friday, Trump conceded that tariffs may “in some cases” raise prices. However, he maintained that by-and-large, the U.S. has “virtually no inflation.”

    “His shift away from his maximalist tariff policy comes as a case is currently before the [Supreme Court](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-trump-supreme-court-congress-washington-joe-biden-b2859037.html) challenging the legality of the president’s decision to unilaterally impose sweeping tariffs.”

  2. This is a typical pattern with Trump.

    – Start a problem

    – Let problem become significant

    – Put out the fire he started and act like a hero

    This is just him doing the same old shit.

  4. The one for Argentinian beef and the other because you can’t grow coffee in the US, anyway.

    Idiot.

  5. Lol businesses are not going to lower prices guarantee that, they’ll just blame it on inflation since people have proven they’ll pay for greedflation. We saw this with covid prices which have stuck around and get worst. 

  7. What MAGA doesn’t realize is grocery stores are more than food. They are aluminum cans, cardboard containers, bakery ingredients, plastic bottles, transportation costs, employee wages. Reducing the costs of steak, bananas isn’t enough.

  8. Wtf why would he turn off the magical money faucet?  

  10. Damage is done.

    Once prices go up, they don’t go down because people have gotten used to paying it.

  11. except prices wont go down meaningfully at all.

    stupid orange turd

  15. Step 1: Announce ruinous policy

    Step 2: Buy stocks of affected industries that just plunged.

    Step 3: Repeal stupid policy.

    Step 4: Sell stocks that just bounced up at a profit!

  16. Do these fucking idiots not realize that the prices won’t come down or do they just not care?

  17. Prices won’t come down, companies will pocket the difference and have record profits.

  18. MAGA has the collective memory of a brain damaged goldfish

  21. Maybe he can apply this same logic to all the other goods he’s tariffing?

  22. “For the moment he had shut his ears to the remoter noises and was listening to the stuff that streamed out of the telescreen. It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be REDUCED to twenty grammes a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

  23. Praise big brother. Chocolate rations have increased to 20 grams per week!

  24. But consumers don’t pay the tariffs right. Right? RIGHT!?!

  25. Donica Lewinsky is at it again. Bro just makes problems, removes the problem he caused, and says look we fixed it lol

  27. But what about the tariff shelf? ANd how does ending these tariffs help Americans, he is just helping those foreign countries! They don’t have to pay anymore, but this helps us?

    /s

  28. So if coffee prices can be lowered by dropping tariffs, doesn’t this prove who pays them?! Are people really this naive…..

  29. MAGA is the cancer in the United States of America !
    It has to be surgically removed !

  32. So the retailers who’ve been passing on the cost of tariffs to the consumer will lower their prices now, right? Right?

  34. Dear Father leader hath ended the drought, praise be! Papa taketh, papa giveth. Next is the tin foil for our hats.

  36. I have not seen any MAGA shows of love for Trump in my area in a long time. Usually when Trump was drowning in bad press, some local in a pick up truck would be driving around town flying his Trump flags. I haven’t seen that happen even once since the election. If Trump was a stock, signs like this would lead me to dump it.

  37. Damage is done and this will not lower prices on any of these things. 😂

  38. And here I thought the evil foreign countries pay for it and it doesn’t affect prices for the consumer, just improve their life through the extra income.

    So why exactly would that be a good thing in delulu world?

  41. Oh look he did the stupid thing we told him was stupid and 6 months later he realized it was stupid and stopped doing it.

    he’s a genius.

  42. Create the problem, then solve the problem… he’s a fireman who’s setting houses on fire she can get praise for putting them out.

  43. Just another distraction from his kid fucking and horse blowing

  44. “It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week….”

  45. “Morons in a cult who have no idea about anything get excited when cult leader does X”

    everyone on social media are just trying to monetize their posts, politics is just another way for them to make money. You can no longer take tweets and social media as for how people feel because it’s all just grifters or bots being amplified at this point

  46. “It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. The eyeless crature at the other table swallowed it fanatically, passionately, with a furious desire to track down, denounce, and vaporize anyone who should suggest that last week the ration had been thirty grams.”

  47. He is going to say those were Biden tariffs.

    The Bad Tariffs are Biden Tariffs the good tariffs are Trump Tariffs.

  49. When someone is both your oppressor *and* your sole source of liberation, you might be in an abusive relationship.
