'He Doesn't Give a F**k': White House Official Tells Washington Post Trump Has Reached Peak 'Not Giving a F**k'
Source: Mediaite.com
President Donald Trump has reached the peak of not giving a fuck, one White House official told The Washington Post for a lengthy report on what went on behind the scenes leading up to the presidents massive tariff announcement this week. On Wednesday or Liberation Day, as Trump calls it the president announced massive tariffs on imports from a number of countries. Hes maintained that the massive shift in economic strategy will result in better trade deals and a boost in manufacturing for the United States.
The stock market has meanwhile taken major hits since Trumps announcement as the tariffs have led to uncertainty among companies and investors. Hes at the peak of just not giving a fuck anymore, a White House official familiar with Trumps thinking told The Post. Bad news stories? Doesnt give a fuck. Hes going to do what hes going to do. Hes going to do what he promised to do on the campaign trail.
The Post story by Natalie Allison, Jeff Stein, Cat Zakrzewski, and Michael Birnbaum cites other White House officials and paints an administration that is very different from the one Trump oversaw in his first term. Despite strategizing on tariff policy up to just three hours before the presidents official announcement in the Rose Garden, there was reportedly very little disagreement with Trump making the final decisions himself. In the first term everyone thought they were president, a senior White House official said.
Those internal disagreements are apparently a thing of the past now with Trumps cabinet fully behind his trade war. Officials reportedly offered a variety of options on tariffs for each country and the president went through himself and pick and chose what he preferred. The final meeting on tariffs included officials like Vice President JD Vance and senior trade advisor Peter Navarro. In their recruiting process, they made sure it would only be people who were totally Trumpers, because in the first administration there was a lot of trouble with people quitting, writing bad books, things like that, Wilbur Ross, commerce secretary in Trumps first administration, said. The people now have been confirmed as true Trumpers.

(5,574 posts)... But I really really want Trump voters and maga folks in red states to suffer the worst. I also want the anti-vax and the so-called uncommitted voters to suffer immensely. for some people there's only one way to learn a lesson, and that's the hard way.

He was given orders by Putin. Period. I'm really not joking about this.
It was either ruin the U.S. economy, military, and ally relationships and maybe share in the wealth. Or, have his money/assests snatched and /or be killed.

(5,459 posts)Yup, all you trump voters who claim they didnt know. Nope, you knew, you just chose to ignore it thinking he wouldnt hurt you. I wonder how many people are finally getting it that he doesnt care about anyone but himself. All those suckers who voted for him, he doesnt need them anymore. He couldnt care less if you lose your house or your savings are wiped out or if you lose your job. Nope, he really couldnt care less.

(650 posts)The problem is he's treating our Country like one of his businesses, he doesn't want to pay the people for work that's been done, he only knows "you're fired" as a response. He falsely believes he's always right so he won't change a strategy that is obviously wrong.
I could go on, but in the end, like many of his companies he will bankrupt our Country and walk away.
The writing was on the wall. And you put him in office twice. TWICE! YOU MORONS!

Navarro and fake hillbilly would literally shoot their own mothers in the face if Donny told them to. And speaking of mothers, the fake hillbilly still isn't worth the price of those pills him mommy tried to trade him for. He should be reminded of that hourly until he "expires" himself.

It's very difficult to comprehend that there are such evil people such as trump. For the most part people will show remorse and seek forgiveness. trump smiles and plays with his shriveled up little mushroom, and finds great sadistic joy inflicting pain.
