My take on the whole tariff war thing

[bif]

It's the rapist causing a worldwide upheaval. He really doesn't give a shit how it affects anyone on the planet. All he cares about is that he caused the entire world to react to some crazy-ass notion he has in his head. Total power trip. And to hell with the little people. Absolutely no-one benefits by his actions.

1. He is raking in the bribes and loves the power, control, adoration, ass kissing.

2. The freak out over inflation by Republican voters now has disappeared and seems just fine under Trump.

4. Not entirely

Some of the magas are beginning to figure it out. Some repug Senators are working with dems to reign in tRump tariffs because they're hearing it from their constituents.

6. Sounds good but I'll believe it when I see it. A lot of that BS is nothing more than

a setup come election time to say "See I tried" - when a Senate vote comes up that will pass without their vote it provides them cover - otherwise they tow the line. When I hear one come out publically against their Godfather then I will believe them - otherwise it is just all for show.

3. Drunk on power, I've heard of it. I've never really seen it like this before.

5. It's a fair, but ineffective take in my opinion. The felon king's new taxes are going to raise prices

10% to 145% on all imported goods and cost American families $4700 each.

Those are basic life impacts that even Americans who don't do politics can understand and relate to. Even the MAGAs don't like to pay massively higher taxes.


Hammer on that point, don't waste time or distract talking about the mad felon king and what is motivating him
