“Well, they did sign up for it, actually. And this is what I campaigned on,” Trump said of the tariffs during an interview with ABC News that aired Tuesday.
And you can’t really argue with that.
Now when we tell people they voted for this we can point them to their best buddy saying it too.
Ok this is the third thing he says i agree with in these 100 days.
What were the other two?
I forget one of them but I know it was something i agreed with, and I got shocked. :)
I agree with him that physical men must not be allowed to compete in women sports against other physical womans. Its completely unfair to woman who have no chance to reach the physical level a man can reach in strength-based sports. And it kills all motivation for a woman to be an athlete when they cant reach that level.
To me its absurd it even went as far as it did. South park had to make episodes about it just to really highlight how unfair it is.
I was ready to argue your point until you mentioned Southpark. Actually I still think its bullshit. Are the differences between men and women that much greater than the differences between Curry and Ming?
Thats fine, people can disagree.
One of the few times I agree with this flatulent.
If you lie so much you’ll have trouble keeping your story straight, and eventually make a mistake and drop a few truths in there somewhere
a qoute from a ds9 character, you never tell the same lie twice.
He also said tariffs were a tax that other countries paid…so there may have been some confusion over what exactly they were agreeing to.
He said the economy would go up on day one, prices would go down and America would be in a golden age.
He said the economy was doing great in 2024 because people were predicting He would win the election, and then when the economy went down in 2025 he put all the blame on Biden.
I said this in 2016: he doesnt mean anything he says, he just says whatever he thinks in that moment will get him what he wants. He lies so frequently that you might as well just disregard everything he says because it doesnt have any basis in reality.
It doesn’t matter who pays the tariff. Anyone with half a brain knows that the cost will be passed down to the consumer either way.
If you’re not informed and take Trump at his word, I can see how you might end up thinking the tariffs were a country-to-country transaction, like literally China paying the USA.
In that case you wouldn’t necessarily arrive at the conclusion that the cost has to be passed on, along the value chain.
But on the other hand I don’t have a good track record of estimating what uninformed people who don’t care to seek information think…
As a non-American it’s difficult to grasp how uninformed the average American voter is. It’s not that difficult to look up what tariffs really are.

Anyone with half a brain
Oops, I think we found the problem.
Yep. Less than half a brain and less than half a heart. Amd absolutely no self-awareness.
Socrates would chug a 20 ounce hemlock Mountain Dew just on principle after meeting an average American.
Eventually he farts out a truth… You got what you voted for. It’s just the many morons that voted didn’t understand tariffs, basic human decency, or that fascism=bad.
This is why I think Trump stickers next to prices should say, “You did this.” He not only won’t except blame for anything but he’ll gladly shift blame to the people he’s hurting the most.
Oh my God, the leopards can speak!!!
They did vote for him. Too bad most of his voters will hurt the most
Maybe this will wake up these MAGA morons to pay attention to policy and not culture war manipulation when they vote? Doubt it, but here’s to hope.
I doubt they are able to connect surging prices with the Trump tariffs. According to Trump, it’s Biden’s fault, and that’s all they need to hear.
Ask any trump voter why they voted for trump. They will say “because I like his policies more”. Ask them which policy do they think will benefit them, they will have no answer.
It is baffling how behind him they are for as little they can coherently articulate why.
Congrats, you voted to become poorer.
Given the way voters and non voters work, it’s pretty clear that there was a huge number how voted or de facto voted for him.
Other than him bragging about rigging the election, anyways.
