    About time for republicans to start voting with their wallets. In what universe does Trump think he can win waging trade war against the whole world? Plus the US economy is mostly driven by their service sector, so I think it is about time for the rest of the world to start tariffing their services and see how their economy collapses.

      They’ll throw in a little Taiwan invasion for shits and giggles and fuck us on semiconductors too. And they’ll succeed, because Trump won’t lift a finger to defend Taiwan

        At some point, prolonged US tariffs against Taiwan make rule by China and expulsion of US military assets there politically acceptable. Same argument applies to Japan and the Philippines.

        Crazy, right? I mean, Xi is a massive piece of shit, but at least he has the ability to think and consider before acting.

          One of the vanishingly few benefits of not being a democracy, is that the people just can’t just vote in an idiot. Of course, there are other avenues for an idiot to take over an authoritarian government (historically, usually by war or inheritance).

      Nah, he’s run out of feet to shoot - next shot is aimed for the groin.

      I do wish we could fast forward to the part where he Hitlers himself in a bunker.

    104%?? Seriously? What’s next? 175% tariffs. Trump, you fucking idiot. The rest of the world doesn’t need you.

    All Trump understands is “winning” or “losing”. He doesn’t understand negotiations. He doesn’t understand politics. It’s WIN or nothing.

    What? I had a nap and Trump decided he liked tariffs and all but that he wasn’t tariffing hard enough so now he’s gonna double the price of all Chinese goods. Oh lawd. Guess I’m waiting a few years to build my next PC.

      No way. You’ll totally be able to afford to get one tariff free from those new factories that are absolutely bigly being built right now in the great state of America.

      Everything should be up and running in a week or so. They just fast tracked all the tool and die makers needed to help develop the machines needed to build your next generation silicon and mother boards, and those ram chip thingies. To avoid all the tariffs from China they’re mining rare earth on mars and conveyor belted back on to America in the frunk of the swastitrucks.

      It’s everything computer.

      Believe in Trump, he believes in you. Or not.

      Most likely not. He doesn’t care about you. He only cares about charging the government insane amounts to his golf course so he can golf while messing up his presidential diapers and getting rich off your tax dollars while wearing pants pulled up to his orange cheetos nip nips.

      When the UK had a Prime Minister stupid enough to tank the economy like this, she was gone before you could eat a lettuce. But she only hurt her own country’s economy, while Trump is doing worldwide damage. The USA needs to step up and get rid of this hopeless leader.

        The U.K.'s democracy is, unfortunately, several times more competently constructed than the U.S. democracy. Lizz Truss could be removed because there were avenues put in place to legally remove her from her position, there are no such avenues in the U.S. Here, the only way a sitting president can retire is via gunshot.

          Yeah, our “checks and balances” were designed poorly. The religious reverence placed on the constitution stopped it from evolving to be better. It needs a revamp on a major scale.

          Our vote of no confidence is impeachment. Same problem in regards to the party selecting the party leader in the UK. You actually have to have MPs/senators that actually agree.

            Yeah the problem isn’t in our government structure, in this case, but in the republican cult of personality.

            It sucks but the Republicans won a very narrow victory in the house senate and president. No matter what system you have, if it’s at all democratic that party makes all the decisions. The problem is there making the decision to standby and watch as a demented oaf flushes the country down the toilet

            Until I see an impeachment actually result in the removal of a president, I don’t seriously believe it is a viable method. Trump has been impeached twice so far with no consequences, so forgive me for having zero confidence in the third time being the charm.

              At this point the only way it’d be possible is if one party controlled both chambers of congress. The current MAGA bunch would impeach and convict the next dem president for putting ketchup on their hotdog before mustard.

              Also Fox News was a direct response to Nixon so it would never happen again to a GOP president. They won.

              He “learned his lesson” so he was allowed to stay in office. He learned his lesson alright. He learned he can do whatever he wants because the federal government is overrun with traitors.

      He has to be fueled by hate and spite and maybe drugs. I can say a thousand bad things about him but he sure does have a lot of energy.

      The 4% is what really sends me. I understand it’s just coming from their new nonsensical 34% tariffs but just…you’re already doubling the cost wtf is the point of the extra 4%? Just go for a flashy round 100%, they can’t even be evil right!

        I read today that one of his secretaries said that China had miscalculated, because China exports roughly four times as much to the U.S. as the U.S. imports to China, and he said that that makes the U.S. a lot stronger than China, that it would give the U.S. a better bargaining position.

        That’s like a wealthy family in a small town saying they can outlast the grocery store if the grocery store decides to stop selling food to you.

        I mean, good luck with that
