The FAFO Trade War

[Insipid]

Gen X really should have paid attention in class.

Who was that clown on the news talking about the DJT at the end of his “Great time to buy!!! DJT” bleat was just him signing his post?  Cuz I went back to look at his old tweets and bleats and that was the only one ending w his initials, which coincidentally, just happens to be the ticker name or wtf it’s called, for his stocks.

Trump in the Oval Office full of his arfing circus seals bragging how yesterday one rich fuck made a quarter billion and the other mummy made 800 million as everyone laughs 

fuckin pigs  all of them 

 

My bad it wasn’t a quarter billion it WAS 2.5 BILLION . One of them was someone from Charles Schwab maybe it was Charles Schwab, unless he’s dead, then it was someone from there 

[discolé monade]

gen x did pay attention. 

we tried to tell you. for a hot minute. but...as we latch keys are acutely aware, we've been ignored.

lol now Trump is trying to end all his bleats with “DJT” in an attempt to make it look like he’s always done so 😆

[1pooh4u]

A bleat from a few weeks ago

 

ones from various years past

just a quick google search shows hundreds without “DJT” At the end. He never did it period. He def was engaging in shenanigans

I was going to go with "America, Fuck Yeah", but then I thought about what life must be like to be either of them......

I’d say more like a villain from Pocahontas.  Or Asian Thanos.

Tariff exemptions have been placed on everything people like from China, namely phones and tech.

I expect the tariffs to be gone by summer at this rate as Trump declares victory in his il-conceived war that he started.

[André Toulon]

He doesn't have to declare victory...his idiot followers already have...placated already because someone else made money off this shit ...so surely, they're next.

I have these morons on my FB. It would be smarter to delete them, but i love pissing myself off....like, really bro...you're just happy to see anyone win because of this goofball display?...you dont have a dime in the market.

The Trusk administration doesn’t have a single person who knows what they’re doing. Now Lutnick is saying the Chinese tariffs on electronics will be introduced in a month or 2 🙄

I think a good analogy for this is a your typical schoolyard bully getting off on beating down all the smaller, weaker kids in the playground coming up to the only kid that's just as big and, being the arrogant fool that he is, decides to try to do the same thing to this other guy. Only turns out this kid has got a 10th degree black belt in Kung Fu and likes fighting dirty. Pretty obvious how this story ends.

I never experienced the level of winning that this trade war has brought about. I almost can’t handle it 🫠

lol ok. When your phone wants to make a giant poop emoji I guess, not unlike a Trump attack in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room, you just let it happen.

Trump about to run over Greenland to get those minerals and he will keep warming the Earth to make sure we get access to more

Ayn Rand was against tariffs, and her reasoning is quite interesting. Just bringing it up, as Paul Ryan loved her.

This is just a pre-shot to be used in the near future to invade Greenland 'for their protection' but really just to pillage the natural resources in the name of the homeland.

As Tariffs ruin everything, including potentially Christmas, Trump once again does what he does best, double down, go “Nuh uh!” and claim he needs more time.

[rpgamer]

They gotta screw everything up bad enough that the next dem can only barely try to fix it so they can point at how ineffective dems are.
