Trump said that there would be a 100% tariff increase starting in November, on top of the 30% one already in place.

China hasn't issued an official response other than "we dont want a trade war, but we aren't afraid of one"

People are legitimately worried because prices skyrocketed the last time he did this and they still haven't recovered.

I don’t think it’s because you are the idiot…

Trump is trying to brush off China/Xi's extremely rational trade policy response to Trump's extremely irrational trade policy decisions...

... by speaking as if this is all just a minor, temporary blunder on China's end.

Basically, peak delusion/dementia insanity from the world's most "never ever wrong about anything" man.

Trump really does need to be taken out to pasture, 25th Ammendment'd... otherwise literally millions, tens of millions of Americans will starve in basically a self-imposed Republican Holodomor.

Damage control for this: Trump post lops off $2 trillion from stocks in a single day

Found Antifa!

China should make a deal because somehow us not buying their cheap shit will cause their country to go into a depression instead of ours for some reason. I don’t think it makes sense. Don’t we owe -them- tons of money?

THE "WEAVE', saying 9 non-sensical things at once that forms into one though that is only understable to his followers.

"Elected" president

Millions of people came together and said this person should lead them.

I just heard a "historian" say them saving Nazis from facing consequences and flying them over to US was okay because they helped "humanity" after they learned "american values."

No wonder their education sucks and propaganda rules.

He can no longer pay enough attention to his own missives to remember the sign off.

This is the guy who thinks that knowing what month, day it is, how to read an analog clock, what he had for breakfast 2 days ago, ... is actually an IQ test.

Something like this:

... him passing this is what he is... confusing as an IQ test.

But Shit is real, man....

GWB was not dumb. I believe he's actually a smart man...he just had no empathy for anyone who wasn't level with his socioeconomic status. DJT also is without empathy, but also possesses a deep hatred for anyone who isn't one of his pals. An active deep hatred that GWB never had... Or at least never displayed.

There was a split second where U. S. politics were funny. I remember we would laugh at whatever gaff or speech "W" had made, but then war were declaredand yeah, nothing funny about it. Pprobably never was funny, but there was a moment where I had just enough ignorange to consider it so

omg my typing sucks. Sorry, we're just at the not-hot-enough-to-turn-on-heat/but-still-too-cold-for-comfort stage of the shoulder season here.
