Welcome to The Shitpost Office
Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe
Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

I'm an idiot, what is he even trying to say/convey here?
China should make a deal because somehow us not buying their cheap shit will cause their country to go into a depression instead of ours for some reason. I don’t think it makes sense. Don’t we owe -them- tons of money?
THE "WEAVE', saying 9 non-sensical things at once that forms into one though that is only understable to his followers.
It's actually saying 9 contradictory things and only taking credit for the good outcomes. The bad outcomes are someone else's fault.
I don’t think it’s because you are the idiot…
Well THAT can't be it
j/k thanks for the reassurance😆
Trump said that there would be a 100% tariff increase starting in November, on top of the 30% one already in place.
China hasn't issued an official response other than "we dont want a trade war, but we aren't afraid of one"
People are legitimately worried because prices skyrocketed the last time he did this and they still haven't recovered.
Oof, that really bites. I was praying it was something less serious. Thanks for the info
Trump is trying to brush off China/Xi's extremely rational trade policy response to Trump's extremely irrational trade policy decisions...
... by speaking as if this is all just a minor, temporary blunder on China's end.
Basically, peak delusion/dementia insanity from the world's most "never ever wrong about anything" man.
Trump really does need to be taken out to pasture, 25th Ammendment'd... otherwise literally millions, tens of millions of Americans will starve in basically a self-imposed Republican Holodomor.
This is like the closest his ego will allow him to admitting he fucked up.
Something like that, yeah.
Make the greater good great again!
Yes, very bigly so!
waves hands around attempting to convey yugeness of the bigly
🤣🤦♂️
Damage control for this: Trump post lops off $2 trillion from stocks in a single day
So good for the economy.
Well Trump thinks the economy is the stock market, he doesn't seem to realise that his population actually care about the price of bread and milk.
So the economy is bad for regular people, but good for stock market investors, Trump only cares about the latter.
I think you missed that the post is about the stock market "losing" $2t in a day.
No, it was damage control
Found Antifa!
I've been looking for years honestly. I think they fear me like a vampire fears garlic
I'm not convinced antifa actually exists
