Republican lies are less of a problem than American ignorance. We are a stupid self-absorbed nation with more interest in reality show competitions than elections for democratic values.
-
Until we have no jobs, to pay the Kings 👑 tax. Become homeless, and end up on a farm
-
WHEN will CONGRESS remove him? Will the people have to rise up to remove him? WE knew this was coming, but not this bad and this quickly. ANYONE supporting Trump now supports pedophilia, rape, corruption....but they are a CULT that doesn't care. They wanted the Epstein list to hurt DEMS. NOPE
-
I think Trump means 'recirculating' instead of 'bringing' but magically defying gravity.
-
How do we know that the tariffs American taxpayers are forking over don’t go directly into Trump’s pocket?
-
Technically American based Importers & corps are required to pay tariff based on the country & than they pass it on but what's almost never reported is profit margins are all different & some items like computer hardware don't even have a 5% profit so adding a 10% tariff makes consumers pay 5% more.
-
Lies + lies + lies + more lies = a shit ton of lies
-
Tariffs TAKE money from the citizens, period.
-
So MORE taxation without representation
-
The Pedophile in Chief still things the entire country is MAGA stupid. Way wrong answer!
-
Maybe it's time for a tea party of our own?
-
If tariffs are bringing billions into the USA why is the Republican Political Party borrowing billions from Japan on behalf of the U.S.? bsky.app/profile/peg3...
-
And causing issues in other countries.
-
Trump really is an economic turnip! So, the Treasury gets more!
Taxing imported goods will only reduce demand for those goods, or be inflationary to people who buy them.
I’m beginning to think import taxes are funding Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy elites because Joe Average is paying more!
-
Checks and balances out the window! It’s how the government works, now it’s not working anymore!
-
Donald John Trump is the ONLY DISASTER PLAGUING America.
Jerome Powell is a HERO for standing firm against a BULLY and a TYRANT.
-
And those taxes aren't even legal, per two federal judges. youtu.be/uBHfMWT9we0
-
Dump Trump!
-
Moderate tariffs can indeed help protect domestic industries in the U.S., but excessive tariffs will only weaken the country’s own competitiveness and may lead other nations to boycott American-made products
-
Donald doesn’t seem to understand tariffs
-
Tariffs take the money right out of our pockets. Get this truth to stick in the heads of everyone.
-
liar
-
Why would you think any different?
-
Name-calling, immature man. May the stress find its way to his little black heart. Disgusting American.
-
pop!
-
He'll replace who he needs to keep this economic damage quiet. Soon you'll wonder why there are hundreds of thousands homeless with a 0% unemployment rate
-
Liar
-
Yeah, it really is kind of funny how none of that tariff money has ended up in my wallet. And none of it seems to have gone towards releasing the Epstein files either. Really strange.
-
The good news? I'd really hate to hear the bad news!
-
-
I want my $ back. 😩
-
-
Still "lying"? or still "ignorant"?
-
😂😂😡
-
EXACTLY, the #trumpTariffTaxes
-
It’s a federal sales tax. Trump has raised taxes on all Americans
-
Not to worry. The Donald will visit the treasury one of these days and take out all that dirty ol' money and replace it with his brand new shiny DODGY COINS. We owe him so much that it makes me want to go buy a big gold cross to hang around my neck.
-
He is delusional. The problem is that too many people actually still believe him. 😰
-
Into his smelly saggy pockets is more like it. 🤮
-
Sadly his base knows nothing of how things work. They are arm chair quarterbacks enamored by their king. They can still vote sadly. Even people who are so dumb they are barely intelligent enough speak can vote and there in lies the problem. STUPIDITY!!
-
The orange cockwomble's administration is a pack of lying. Tariffs are taxes, they are not going to bring back industries to the US, there is no job growth, there is actual job loss, deals and frameworks that are just smoke and mirrors, just Tr*mp corruption. The art of the deal is just fraud.
-
Any time Trump says something, the exact OPPOSITE is the truth!
-
All his lies are destructive but the ones that affect the economy are the most vile.
-
More accurately stated, the "Trump Import Tax."
-
☑️VETTED CAMPAIGN!
If you see this, please give any amount you can to Aseel and her family!!!
Can you imagine what it feels like having to eat grass or drink only salt with water to stop your stomach from aching for being empty?
Please relieve their burden!! bsky.app/profile/momm...
-
I despise this orange guy. He is beyond the law, which makes him more empowered. The lies he tells and the lies his staff tell are ridiculous.
-
The orange felon’s tariffs are the regressive Flat Tax that the Republicans have been pushing for decades
-
Time to officially bury the name Republican as the party is dead. Maga has fully replaced it. And is in opposition from legacy R- conservatives values. Its an ideological cult serving only it’s leader and his supporting oligarchs. No legacy R would endorse more taxpayer dollars to the government.
-
Add increased unemployment to the mix.
Unemployment Rises to 4.2 Percent in July as Job Growth Slows Sharply
Unemployment Rises to 4.2 Percent in July as Job Growth Slows Sharply
US job growth fell to just 73,000 in July, with downward revisions to May and June. Unemployment rose to 4.2%.
-
This can't be true. Conservative economic policies have never crashed the economy and been horrible for everyone, but the rich, have they?
-
Right over his pretty little head.
-
-
Lowering the rate will assure this...
-
Americans pay the tariffs then the tariff tax pays for rich people to get tax cuts. It’s a transfer of money from the working class to the morbidly rich.
-
Let's see, 5 or 6 bankruptcies...what could go wrong?
-
He still has no clue how tariffs work… 🙄🤦🏻
-
had he ran honestly and admitted he plans to tax American consumers more, he would have lost.
i still dont understand how MAGA is not understanding this......
-
-
How does that old saying go…?
“No taxation”… what now?
How did that all turn out again??
-
He’s a fucking idiot!
-
This puts the white slavery market into chaos.
-
these are Not Tariffs, they are the illegal national sales tax he promised... and when you take money out of the pockets or the spending class, you Kill local businesses.. $100 Billion in Taxes is $400-700 Billion in lost economic activity to the community..
-
Exactly. We pay the tariffs and still need to purchase the goods as they are not produced in America.
-
That fucking twatwaffle is a complete idiot and his dumbass MAGA followers believe every word he says.
-
He wants a 300bps rate cut. I can’t explain how crazy that it. Arthur Burns was pressured by Nixon to lower rates when we were in an inflationary period, when he knew better. The end result was increased inflation and then stagflation for the next decade.
-
The donOld thinks he controls every US agency and company as well as using tariffs to penalize other countries for decisions they make independent from our country. Not only does he think he's King but he thinks he's the damn Emperor of the World. MENTALLY UNWELL!
Impeach him!
-
It’s sad that there’s so many people out there who don’t know what a tariff is. It seems like his messages are meant for the uneducated.
-
Send it to" daddy ".... our tax dollars are now his 🤢 🤮
-
Exactly! While some businesses that rely on imported goods may be able to absorb some of the tax, most of it will be passed on to consumers! 🤬
-
We have all the ingredients for stagflation. Buckle up.
-
The president of the United States is a psychopath.
A very stupid psychopath.
-
Virtually none of that in-flow will reach 95 percent of Americans. Follow the money...see where it goes.
-
Trump is dumb as hell we are not bringing s*** back in United States. We the consumers are paying high prices. Because of his dumbass.
-
#Trump is stupid as hell. We pay more the consumers up our butt more than ever because of this idiot. He is so dumb.
-
I’m trying to figure out if he actually believes that tariffs are new money or if he knows the truth and is just working really hard to dupe his cult members.
-
Yep. it's a con trick. Trumps donor class of private oligarchic interests redistributing wealth towards themselves.
-
How long are we going to allow this child sex trafficker to continue to walk around like he can get away with raping and being a global elite child sex ring accomplice? WTF? They clearly rigged our elections and trying to manipulate them to stay in power!! Time is coming! #gopPedos #weWillNotStandBy
-
Vote every Republican OUT!
-
his own corporate/personal debt is tied to interest rates...this is about HIS wealth.
-
Felon Trump only wants an interest rate reduction for his own benefit. He doesn't give a damn about anyone else.
-
No, Trump is the disaster! He amazingly does not have the ability to follow the money! Or is he trying to do a shell game and thinks we we're dumb enough to fall for it? This is so fucking stupid!
-
-
Trump alone is imposing tariffs. Know who else did that? The king of England. Congress is the body authorized to impose tariffs, because they represent the people. This is simply taxation without representation. It's wrong. We fought a war over this.
-
Billions! 🤣🤣🤣
-
So, Proctor and Gamble are raising their prices because of the tarrifs but think a coupon book will save their reputation? Seriously???🤬🤬🤬
-
Even if it did, it would still be irrelevant. The Fed's job is to manage inflation. They're not going to drop rates when the Executive branch is actively putting upward pressure on prices.
-
Trumps creating this problem and then wants Powell to bail him out so he doesn't look as incompetent as he is.
-
Imbecile..
-
Can't the rants from rubber room Don be restricted to noise and nuisance bylaw hours and days?
-
I can't believe so many people don't understand how tariffs work. 🤦🏻♀️
-
We are not in a new Golden Age; we have entered the Age of Gaslighting.
-
I don’t know if trump is straight up lying or if he really is just that stupid, but either could be true!
-
-
Taxation without representation by an absolute despot/fascist dictator.
-
wormtongue tells him otherwise
-
The GOP is willing to die on this hill of billshit and take America with them 🤫
-
Tariffs are a tax.
-
When will people understand this. This is also why prices are continuing to rise on damn neear every product. Even if said products isn’t tariffed, greedy companies will use it as an opportunity to mark products up to make more money. It’s nose lose all the way around for American people.
-
And he and his cohorts are stealing it !
-
Dumbest motherfucker Ive ever had in my class”
-
This is anyone trying to get it through his thick skull. He either can't (too ignorant) or won't (doesn't care) understand it and no amount talk will break through.
-
Baahaahaa Dump is Delusional. Can’t wait for Canada to kill the US economy (and people, sadly, with the pharmaceutical 250% - excellent math twatwaffle - tariffs).
-
I know we can't see his tax returns but is there any way we can see his grades from Wharton? Did he ever go to class? He is remarkably silent about this. He's always bragging about his uncle at MIT, but nothing about his time at a premier business school.
-
Only little people pay for tariffs.
-
Please be sure to highlight with each article that trump is a pedophile and belongs in prison.
-
He acts like it is an income tax on foreign corporations. It is not! He lowered the income tax that foreign corporations had to pay from 35% to 21%.
-
For his own personal use. Who is tracking the tarriff money now being collected? If so much why cancel and cut services? Why are we paying more personal income tax? I have a lot of questions.
-
Yep because that's how we do it in the good ole USA. Make the poor people pay for everything while lying about it.
-
Why does that counter-poster think the tariffs are going into the US Treasury?
-
🦴
-
What billions of dollars?
-
Trump lies as easy as other people breathe.
-
Just ask Ford Motor Company. $2B so far.
-
Yes. The US Treasury is not getting a penny from foreign countries! It's not a "tax on Canada"; it's a tax here on US importers of Canadian goods, and ultimately that's you and me. Can we at least word this correctly please... everywhere!
-
Yes, & who do tariffs impact the most? The middle class & poor. Think the rich care, Yes. But they won't complain when they get back far more in tax credits & tax breaks.
-
-
Trying to explain how tariffs work to a maga supporter is harder than explaining it to a 5th grader!
-
That scumbag understands nothing and lies every breath.
-
Trump=dumb & dumber…
-
Yep. Straight out of the American consumer’s pockets you stupid, orange jackass! 🍊🫏
-
Americans are the ones paying the tariffs!
-
- The latest economic numbers are a disaster, trump know it, and now he is trying to find a scapegoat to deflect the blame from his imbecility.
-
Actually none of it will benefit the average American family,only the billionaires,that is how your Republican Congress set it up,for their benefits only,quit trying to fool the American people with double speak,some of read Orwell!!
-
Get Mad - Stay Mad - #Vote Mad, #AMERICA!
From Your Pay: #Taxes:
- Federal
- State
- Local
- Property
- Sales, etc.
AND NOW EVEN MORE TAKEN From Your Take-Home Pay:
- "Tariff Taxes", in the form of Higher Prices
- YOU PAY - for EVERYTHING that U.S. Importers Pay #Tariffs On!
-
-
-
💯🎯
-
I thought it was called "fraud".
-
They're bringing billions of dollars to someone. My dollars. At least a small portion is mine.
-
Delusional!
-
Correct It’s basically a National Sales tax w/o saying it or creating a bill from congress The whole process of congressional approval has been Usurped Get the most shameless human being into office by corrupt means w/ hackers from Doge & whala 2025 plan & tariff is coupled together to ruin economy
-
The Democrats need to refer to them as "import taxes" "duties" "federal sales taxes" and not tariffs since the RW has been duped into thinking tariffs are paid by Ali Baba to the CBP.
People understand the de minimis exemption is a new tax on their Temu and Shein junk so they are not stupid.
-
It doesn't matter how well it's explained, Trump does NOT understand basic economics. Period. Nor do most of his cult.
-
He's a freaking idiot!!
-
It’s important to remember Trump’s solution for hurricanes was a nuclear missile and his solution for Covid was to stick a UV lamp up your ass. He’s the dumbest bastard in America elected by the dumbest Americans.
-
A tarrif is a TAX.
-
Taking in Billions he says! Yeah! Straight from our wallets and into the US Treasury!
-
This lying crocodile deserves another fate! Dried out tear ducts perhaps? No more tears of hypocrisy!
-
The trade solution is to stop trying to make deals and just put sanctions on the US like we would do to any other dictatorship that suppresses its people and endangers the world. There is no reason to allow a handful of people to ruin the the lives of the other 8 billion people on the planet.
-
This doesn’t seem all that hard to understand.
-
#elbowsup Nation-states that refuse to participate in Trump's tariffs will end them far faster than attempting to placate the demented psychopath's brain-dead revenue schemes...
-
Once a liar, always a liar
-
Billion$ of dollars out of the pockets of the American people!
-
Making the rate of inflation directly proportionate to the tariffed good.
-
-
This “ stable genius” businessman (?) never learned how important tariffs really work, and as the saying goes, you can’t teach an OLD dog new tricks. He will forever be convinced that his view of tariffs is the only correct view, despite all evidence to the contrary. Not the brightest bulb!!!!
-
Every single day, Trumph is wrong about something significant that impacts Americans.
He isn’t just wrong about stuff that we can all be wrong about. It’s big stuff.
And he has advisors: the good ones, he criticizes; the bad ones, he praises.
-
Canada really should add an export tax on top of that 🤣🤷🏾♂️
-
Hmm.
What would happen if Jerome did say fuck it.
And dropped the US interest.
Went crazy with it.
-
"...the good news" for whom? TACO gets a flying castle, and we paid for it to be safe. He's TACO-ing up the Whitehouse. So, what will he do with the magical tariff money? What tacky Vegas style thing will he do with that money? Congress won't stop him. We, the people, must rise up in solidarity!
-
What a coincidence! Yesterday infamous Dollar Store items were $1.25 for 95% of the store. Today, same items are $1.50 to $1.75. A few items remain at 1.25 but vast majority went up. I reference this store since it is a go-to spot for my Red-leaning part of Maine.
-
And it's a regressive tax, since it affects lower income people more than rich ones.
-
Maybe billions in the form of direct bribes to Trump and his friends.
-
An electronic item I was considering nearly doubled in price overnight.
-
-
Can you imagine being a candidate at any level facing an opponent who supported a convicted felon as POTUS? Seems like these should be easy wins- right? Or have we moved on & now accept the "weaponization" bullshit like we did for "grabbed them by", impeachments, E. Jean Carroll, Classified docs...
-
Not entirely: tariffs are bringing $$$ into the US government coffers. When 🟠 says “we’re make lots of money” he’s also truthful: “we”=🟠, billionaires & the like. But most Americans will continue to be further impoverished… 😣
-
And this is how bankrupted his own business and now will bankrupt US as his big, beautiful screw up. Be prepared to pay more for your meds especially from EU! He just placed a 39% tariff on Switzerland whose export is pharmaceuticals to US.
-
-
He’s such a moronic pedophile!
-
For the millionth time, tariffs are sucking dollars straight out of your wallet into the grand grift. Trump and his entire regime are gaslighting the hell out of you. The Smithsonian has lost their credibility, so along with Epstein, always refer to his impeachments. Twice. Epstein-Impeachments.
-
His post promised that America will be "rich" and "respected" around the world. I never know whether to laugh or cry at such delusions ..
-
Such a pathetic liar. Like Custer, we all follow him into the grave
-
The moron believes on his own propaganda and continues to say his dumb supporters that his tariffs are paid by the foreign countries and the cult of ignorance believe it...
-
Yup. They're sure working.
-
And then straight into Trump’s, his family’s and cronie’s pockets. Such corruption right in your face, and you allow it. Blithering idiots
-
We hope it makes it to the treasury
-
The reality will start setting in now. When Mom and Dad have to go buy their kids clothes & supplies for the coming school year, the sticker shock will be like being doused with ice water. Paying this "tax" will leave Mom and Dad's wallet & bank account a lot emptier.
-
So sick of The Donvict acting like we're as stupid as he is.
-
Trump is a fucking liar.
-
This is a very dangerous man
-
He is an asshole!
-
It doesn't matter what smart people think. Moran is talking to his stupid, idiot ignorant, and illiterate base.
-
Trump, the big fat liar 🤥
-
He DOES NOT get it! Low IQ. We all know!
-
Yup. Tariffs are TAXES. We the People are being taxed by a President who wants to transfer more of our money into the Treasury so he can refurbish that bribe-airplane Qatar gave him, spend more money without Congressional oversight (illegal, but the GOP Congress won't stop him.)
-
When they finally admit that the exporting countries don’t pay the tariffs, they say that the importing companies will simply eat the tariffs so that the consumer doesn’t have to. But a smaller margin due to tariffs means being less able to expand, paying employees less and perhaps not surviving.
-
He knows. He is just stealing our money. But, he knows. His people, however, don't. They can't understand, apparently what he is doing to us. They believe the lies. All. Of. Them.
-
To all MAGAs: Do you feel like you signed up for a revolution but got a reality show rerun instead? Were you promised greatness but handed a knockoff dictatorship with extra spray tan? Does the Golden Age you were promised feel more like a "golden shower?" Please hold—your call is important to us.
-
One might discuss if and to what extend tariffs might improve the situation for US companies.
What nobody in his right mind should believe that this brings any money INTO the country, as the 🍊💩🤡 claims. This money is paid in the US by the importer, and it doesn't get paid by the seller in any case.
-
-
In fact, the news media keep reporting tariffs as "President Trump put XX% tariffs on Country Y." It actually should be, "President Trump put XX% tariffs on American importers of goods from Country Y." I have never seen that phrasing, which would be accurate.
-
So if it’s going to the US Treasury does Grifty get it? No wonder why he’s gun ho about tariffs. Forget Trump Bibles, sneakers, hats and other merchandise when he can add tariffs to his grift.
-
I'm so sick of him. His stupid stupid nicknames, his juvenility, his corruption. The day he takes his last fetid breath the world will have a simultaneous party. Hell, even N Korea might join in.
-
And how much "finds" its way the tRumps pocket as a "Finders fee"?
-
I just saw that a court of 3 judges said ALL tariffs were not legal and until the Supreme Court says otherwise they can't collect. was that a lie? Im confused .
-
Trump really does believe his followers are schmucks. He really thinks his followers believe his nonsense that foreigners pay for American tariffs.
-
I don’t understand why it isn’t more widely discussed as a tax. Essentially a UK VAT. Regressive. 15+%. A tax. Just call it what it is.
-
Trump fired the BLS chief statistician, so you know he intends to lie about the statistics from here on out...
-
Tariffs are just a not-well-camouflaged ploy to transfer wealth from consumers to the U.S. Treasury where it will be easier for Trump and his minions to steal it.
-
Lies, of course: per Chatgpt: "misleading: Tariffs are paid mostly by U.S. importers—not foreign countries—so the money comes from American businesses and consumers, not other nations. While tariffs do generate revenue for the U.S. government, they often lead to higher prices domestically."
-
Trump wants his grimy little hands on the money so badddd!
-
To retrofit bribe planes, build a 90,000 sq ft gaudy palace addition to OUR house and fund self promoting golf trips. Cool.
-
we know he's lying. the WORLD knows he's lying. HE knows he's lying. WHY ARE WE PUTTING UP WITH IT?
-
indeed, and exactly how are the stock markets reacting to all of this? Probably about the only market that will be riding fairly high is China since they couldn't give a flying F*** what Trump does, in fact they welcome it. Trump is driving the world to China.
