Canadian companies will pay the bulk of the 10% in order to have access to the US market. Sec. Bessett has explained that multiple times. Reagen was wrong.
And the healthcare, etc..... Trump is making us feel bad about even going to get a coffee on the way to work in the office.... like you can have no joy unless you're wealthy. You're just working for the paycheck and a slave to the grind.
I mean, it's not *entirely* true. Sometimes the exporting nation will partially meet the tariff cost, either through simply discounting or by subsidy, because they wish to maintain demand. But technically, yes, any tariff actually paid is paid by the country with the tariff.
He lies because he knows no one will stop him. He lies because he has been told that the lie has power to change reality. The lie has always worked for him, because no one ever beat his ass for lying.
The cost of the tariffs is becoming apparent, due to an electorate that struggle to walk and chew gum at the same time a great many will not "get it" until it gets them. That day is coming.
Many are too stupid to fact check, they continue to buy the lies and think it will benefit them, if you can insert racial hatred they will love it all the more. That is where we are now, but the end is coming, and sadly the incredibly rich Oligarchs will remain.
I'm not sure about #4. I sometimes wonder if he's not lying, but that he's the stupid one that doesn't understand how they work and others are lying to him about it... We already know that he refuses (is unable to?) read and so gets updates in the form of news video snippets, so it'd be easy to do.
"4. Trump keeps lying because he thinks you're all too stupid to fact check"
Points 1, 2, 3 and 5 on correct. But Point 5 applies only to a relatively small number of MAGA cultists, and importantly, he can get away with it because...
We weren't paying anything for it because that never happened and doesn't exist. Notice how your sole reaction here is "but what about those brown people I don't like?"
My mom and stepdad are 100% too stupid and lazy to fact-check. They have complete and total faith in the orange shit-stain, and believe every word that oozes from his mouth. When faced with proof and evidence, they angrily call it a lie.
He knows the followers will believe all he and the Republican handlers tell them. Then they mindlessly repeat it without bothering to authenticate while swearing to the validity of every lie they are fed
Yes, they are too stupid to fact check. If they were any smarter and actually did the fact checking, then we wouldn't have to deal with Trump again in the first place.
But these maggots do fact check , they'll ask their uncle-brother or sister- momma.See if they really did check and find out tramp lied, then they'd have to check everything else, and that would wound their righteous hate of all things not to their liking.
Its a cult of personality, they have made a connection between their own identity and that of Trump. They don't want to know the truth, if they do it would force them to confront themselves.
It is why they take everything anti-Trump or GOP so personally and we do not with the leaders on "our side"
Ontario gov ran Reagan's tariff speech during World Series Game 2 in Toronto. Millions of Canadians & Americans saw it (if they don't forward thru TV ads). I rewound DVR to rewatch LA Dodgers' Max Muncy's HR, & saw a "folksy" Reagan. No wonder #Felon47 doesn't like it. "Free & fair trade". Bah.
NO MORE DISTRACTIONS! Release ALL of the Epstein files, Release ALL of the Epstein files, Release ALL of the Epstein files, Release ALL of the Epstein files and furthermore...Release ALL of the Epstein files... Thank you for your attention to this matter.
๐ฏ. I'm not sure consumers realize how much power they really have by choosing what to buy or not buy. If one is fortunate to have any $ leftover after essentials are paid for, consumers' impact can be felt by putting it into savings instead of spending it. Do shop local to keep revenue & jobs up.
And then he talks about the money he skimmed off American consumers like it's his personal piggy bank. Wanna bail out the farmers? Don't chase away their customers with tariffs!! I thought these folks were the "I do my own research" people.
The just tje tariff costs now add in health insurance premiums and add in the skyrocketing energy prices, particularly electricity ( i warned you), then add in the extra costs of sending your kids to school due to no more department of education. You get the idea. AMERICA IS UNAFFORDABLE.
Wake up America โฆ. Heโs just making it worse for each and every one of usโฆ. Except for the Millionaires and Billionaires now they are doing really wellโฆ need to do some research people before they still it all away!!
Bannon is selling a load of BS: He's working on a plan to get #Felon47 re-elected in 2028. He hasn't firmed it up yet, but @JamesSmall, formerly of the @brennancenter.org thinks maybe #Felon47 could be voted in as House Speaker & the elected GOP POTUS & VPOTUS will resign. We need a HUGE ๐ in 2026!
fuckwit trump learned a new trick that he/gop use - AI. According to fuckwit trump everything is now AI and is being used against him, even when it is the ACTUAL TRUTHFUL RECORDING OF RONALD REAGAN. trump doesn't give an AI shit about anyone except himself. He'd sell his family if necessary. EPSTEIN
Trump has managed to make Reagan time as age of reason. That might be his greatest achievement. Not worth Nobel Peace Prize though. Is there a stupidity award? I mean besides Darwin award - since trump hasn't regrettably "darwined" himself out at an early stage.
shouldn't at LEAST the press lift a damn finger and check when the scuttle back to their typewriters (or whatever they use) write their headlines: president mistaken about AI claim. no? well maybe they could do a tiny bit more...
It's very likely that Trump's handlers are spoon feeding him nuggets of lies. It's quite possible he believes the Reagan video is fake because that's what he was assured. Ignorant uncurious morons like Trump are 100% dependent on trusted sources, especially when they are hearing info they like.
Oh no!!!!!!! Someone may become educated and begin realizing that maga is not in any way a conservative, republican movement! Donโt show them history ๐ฑ๐ฑ
The tariffs is politically too !!! A Dammage to enterprises and their workers not matter gender age religion or sexual orientation The government not offer a solution giving problems and troubles for the population
He is a flim flam man but no longer good at it. Well with all his bankruptcies, he was probably never really good at it anyways. It is just that HIS voters are NOT really good at looking out for-their own interest. In fact they are probably the worst in our countries history. Repugs bank on it
His supporters are this stupid, that's why they support him. I always say there are 2 kinds of trumptards. The rich and the stupid. Check your wallet to see which you are.
Maybe very, very early last admin that could have been true but at this point he absolutely knows. This is willful destruction of the countryโs middle and lower economic sectors.
Why would anybody assume that? He perfectly knows what he is doing. He also knows he couldn't give any less fucks, since he's utterly immune to any repercussions, and is getting richer and richer himself off the back of the american public.
And it appears that Drumpf might think that he can use those tariff funds for whatever BS project that he wants to use it for, to whatever ends. And you can be sure that it won't be used for the benefit of the American people.
The Reagan Foundation is probably full of people like my cousin (he might be part of it!) who did his dissertation on Reagan and who finally unfriended me on FB when I posted one fact after another about how Reagan helped destroy our country and should have been charged with treason for Iran-Contra.
Lying is inbred in him. He never speaks truth! Although I think he did twice. Once- โ I could shoot somebody on 5th ave. in N.Y. & get away with it!โ And โ Repub voters are the dumbest people - they believe everything I sayโ!
People should learn to shake their addictions and buy food and commodities other than the ones that are tariffed. More chicken, more vegetables, pickles ( be REALLY radical and make yer own). And learn to not overconsume. Two children per family. Grow yer own herb. Lots to do.
Well his fans are too stupid to check. America you made basic people like the Kartrashians, Aiden Ross, the Paulโs and all those twitch gamblers blow up then you complain how the orange ape got into your now partially demolished White House - Twice. All these male influencers supported Orange Ape.
I cheered. Also, F the Ronald Reagan Foundation. I was NO fan of Reagan but the foundation is obviously owned by a bunch of MAGA Trump cultist asswipes with a capital A.
number 4 is not exactly right. he lies even though he knows people will know it's a lie, but nobody will bring it up and if they do he's just on to the next lie. somebody said once that he and putin lie for the sheer joy of it, as an exercise of power (paraphrase).
Please get on the phone or e-mail and tell your reps in DC what you think about tariffs. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. Also see my Initiative No. 2 on my website: www.nationalfinancialplan.com
Consumers know what sales taxes are where they live. Tariffs should be posted up front on goods so consumers can make informed decisions on the total price before purchasing. Most co's will hide them, so kudos to yours. Other co's just raise the price on US produced products. I won't buy from them.
The average low-income citizen (senior or otherwise) will be hungrier than last year, due to tariffs and the inflation created by them. Consumers are paying, not corporations and definitely not the countries that Trump thinks he is punishing. Trump should digest what Reagan was trying to tell us.
I've been telling people 'Google is a wonderful thing'. If you use a search engine other than the above go for it. Public libraries are also a wonderful thing! Librarians know where to find the "dead bodies" so to speak. Beware AI for now.- not perfect.
People in my circle are definitely feeling the pinch of the rising cost of living. Trump said it was COVID-driven; well, rising costs are irrefutably tied to his tariffs and other pernicious public policies originated by the right. Even my more conservative friends are angry about it. Vote wisely.
I saw homeless people & thought: US throws away people. Now with cuts to SNAP & food banks, making homeless people criminals, cutting education services for disabled, more people will be discarded. The US white supremacist parasite employer class is terrible. China takes better care of its people.
About #4. It's not that he thinks we're stupid -- though there is a good deal of that -- it's that he thinks we can't do anything to stop him, and that he's mentally and emotionally unfit to sit behind the wheel of the Presidential golf cart.
Not to mention the impact on American companies that import Canadian components to make their products. Trump is a disaster for anyone who prioritizes reality over both nationality and religion
Itโs pure lies and steered by scumbags that lie very well for lots of money. They fully embrace Joseph Goebbels tactics all the time, totally obvious, like to see that โ in real time.
Add to that the increase in cost to health insurance.
Millions are already struggling to survive as it is. Millions more of us will die or be forced from our homes because we cannot afford even the basics.
If he had said during the campaign, it's going to cost you about $5000, but I will be the cruelest and most racist president in American history, he might have got even more votes.
To be fair, he did say that this presidency was going to be about revenge, and he told the evangelicals that if they voted for him theyโll never have to vote again. Itโs the Revenge Around The World tour. Trump is an enemy both foreign and domestic. #25Trump
Just like the Kamala Harris interview, Trump likes to complain about โfake newsโ when broadcasts are edited using absolutely normal methods. Itโs proving lucrative against cowardly media companies, but Canada will tell him to go to Hell.
Spoke to a pastor who said Jesus died for all our sins, past and future. He says Trump and the fascists will go to heaven, if they keep sinning they get smaller houses. This Christianity removes Jesus. He is replaced with Trump and their own perversions www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggIBtdtypCw
The most correct statement these is #4. Trump depends on the stupidity of his supporters. Otherwise, he'd be run out of Washington as the criminal he is.
No no, theyโre not afraid to fact check, they know they wonโt like the answers, so they just donโt bother. They get their facts from inside their comfy MAGA bubble.
Number 4 is the kicker. His followers will never fact check what he says. Partly because they donโt think they need to, and partly because they donโt want to learn the truth.
Amazon, Facebook & Apple have contributed $$ to #Felon47. I know it's hard, but gradually start cutting back on purchasing from Amazon, Whole Foods & unsub from WaPo.
