The Not So Quiet Piggy has done a great job at bankruptcy once again.

I'm no economist, but it doesn't seem to be working. 😒
-
Tariffs are and always have been the cause of chaos, economic pain around the world and broken relationships with other nations. Fixing trade deficits? Not so much.
-
Meanwhile it is very clear that there will be a mid to longterm negative impact of the world looking for other trade partners than US because they are not reliable anymore
-
The deficit is literally a non issue. Why even waste your time on this?
-
Just wait til he has to pay back the tariffs. lol
-
I wish there was more comprehension of trade deficit amongst average Americans.
-
-
Trump doesn’t know what a trade. deficit is. He thinks it’s a debt.
-
Soy beaners be like 😉(translate that)
-
Wait you mean the guy with six bankruptcies doesn’t know what he’s doing?
-
They're taking advantage of us!
-
@velshi.com @stephruhle.bsky.social would love to hear your thoughts on this?
-
ahh yes Trumpy fucks up again🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤡 wants to spend the $billions from tariff hikes for troop pay, nutrition assistance and farmer/rancher bailouts. Now: "We're going to issue a dividend to our middle income people and lower income people of about $2,000," he said. "... remaining tariffs to lower our debt." Somebody, explain to him!
Trump floats tariff 'dividends' even while plan shows major flaws
President Trump says the government will distribute checks to Americans from tariff revenue. Here's what that could mean.
-
Trump-induced Bankruptcy #7 incoming
-
This may be overstated, as there was a lot of front running the tarrif date, and US companies buying inventory in advance, just my opinion.
-
Everything was better with Biden.. this is a sick country we live in now
-
The disintegration of the Trump facade. Hopefully new voter registrations will be sufficient to counter any lingering affinity which might persist between now and the Midterms.The gilding is off the Lilly to mix a metaphor....
-
Trump pitched it as that. No legit economist would have.

Two more weeks

My understanding of the trade deficit is that we buy more goods and services from other countries than we sell to other countries because we’re the wealthiest country in the world.
-
That's called the Art of the Grift.
-
$2,000 checks. I don’t think so.
-
You really cannot this stuff up. Trump will call it a trade Hoax. LOL.
-
a mediocre result
-
Except - all sorts of reports haven't been released by this administration. How believable will they even be? Will next jobs report even be remotely close to what we already know from ADP data? I expect garbage on that and any report related to trade.

In defense of Donald Trump‘s economic policies and those who seek to defend those policies, they are invariably wrong.
That is not a bug, but rather a feature.
-
Yes, you import the same but more expensive.
-
Why is Trump so stupid?
-
His entire economic agenda has already been a complete failure. He's been lying for 10 years about these stupid policies and the media been letting him lie. We told em, but they needed to find out the hard way.
-
Tariffs were a vehicle for Trump to put the squeeze on countries to enrich himself. You give me gold bars etc. and I will ease the tariffs.
-
Duh

-
And Bessent and Hassett go on cnbc & other shows saying how great these tariffs are for the USA and economy What strikes me the most is how intelligent men like these, entered Trumps Jonestown and gladly drank the Kool Aide? What switch did they turn off in their reasoning ? I’ll never understand
-
Really not good. May take decades to recover from this President's economic policies (that the professional experts said all along were flawed).
-
The US elected a man who declared bankruptcy SIX times to make America great again.
Americans are exceptionally stupid.

Trump: 'There’s nothing like doing things with other people’s money'
"I do that all the time in business. It’s called other people’s money," Donald Trump said.

Yep

New version of French flag just dropped…

There is no deficit. Phony term Republiclowns fall for.

Looks like it's working as well as everything else Trump does. 🙄

"Some things'll never change That's just the way it is"
Perspective | Trump’s most enduring legacy could be the historic rise in the national debt
It rose almost $7.8 trillion during his time in the White House — approaching World War II levels, relative to the size of the economy. This time around, it will be much harder to dig ourselves out.

Well that didn't work.

When in a hole, just dig deeper that is the Trump way 😏

Perhaps the tarriffs should have been much higher? 🤡

Bessent later today: “We see the economy booming starting one day after the mid-terms. We’ll also be sending $2,000 rebate checks and $10,00 healthcare checks to all Americans. The Dems will take those away.”
