Yep they will all sue for the tariffs, not distribute it among their customers, and not lower prices. Maybe Costco will actually do the right thing but who knows
But hey dows up. White rich people can overlord it. Plebs can’t eat. Trump is making America great again. /S
Great must mean something different to what I was taught.
In other words, these tariffs are a tax on Americans, raising money for whatever Trump wants. Do I have that right?
That's what tariffs have always been.
The US has reached peak stupidity AND peak corruption. The end is very near.
Yeah, no kidding. It's probably only Republican voters finally coming around to understanding how Pedonald's illegal tariffs work.
We were telling them last year, but of course they didn't listen. Because dog forbid they should listen to a liberal telling them something.
Maybe we don't need to buy so much useless shit anymore from these vampire corporations, buy food, fuck all the trinkets and all that, these companies can rot.
How about all those affected by the global impacts of these tariffs that should not have been?
Everybody with two brain cells to rub together knew this would be the result. The average American must be too stupid to tie their shoes and breathe at the same time.
You say that like we have direct control over the federal government.
We knew it was going to end up like this, but there's nothing we can do peacefully to stop it.
There was something you could have done, but most of you decided to either vote for the pedophile grifter or abstain from voting. Trump isn't some evil genius that plotted brilliantly to trick the people. He said exactly what he planned to do, and you still elected him. Twice.
I voted against trump, as did 75 million other Americans.
The pronoun "you" can be used in either the singular or plural form. I was obviously using it in the plural form, in keeping with my earlier comment about the average American. You, the collective of American citizens, elected the pedophile grifter.
You're bad at math, then.
Are you claiming that the election was stolen? I assume you have proof if that's the case and aren't just talking out of your ass because you won't admit that your country has given the rest of the world ample reason to ridicule you.
Proof like Trump bragging about it on video?
Instructions unclear, shoelaces stuck inside lungs.
Rename tariffs to the "Ignorance tax"
