That’s hilarious

Or was he just naming the things that happened to to be in front of him?

“Kids” is plural

Yeah, there's no chance they now lower prices and collect less profit. That's what we should remember...

Product sells for $10. After tariffs of $2 it sells for $14.

You pay $2 tariff and $2 convenient price hike. Company makes $2 for hiking price more than value of tariff.

Company requests refund for $2, company made $4 total.

You paid $4 extra total, which the company made. It's a completely standard transaction, money from your packet to company's. And more tax money will be wasted for the costs of processing the refunds.

Company brings price down to $12, you're still overpaying, and are you necessarily buying that product again?

Meanwhile, the administration pocketed the money.

I mean, sort of, but not really. The money went into the Federal budget, and even if some of it did get embezzled by Trump cronies, the money that comes back isn't going to come back out of their pockets.

If the embezzlement happened, that's a separate, additional crime on top of issuing the illegal tariffs themselves.

But it’s actually more important to me that the administration not get away with the illegal tariffs.

Then the only correct solution is prison (or worse) for the officials involved. Making the Federal government (i.e., we, the people) pay back the illegal tariffs does fuck-all to punish the corrupt officials responsible.

I'm not saying the illegal tariffs shouldn't be refunded, I'm just saying it isn't the punishment you're looking for.

(Oh, by the way: the next step in your recap of the situation is going to be "the Federal government raises taxes to cover the 'shortfall' caused by refunding the illegal tariffs." I haven't heard anything about it yet, but you'll see. We, the people will be left holding the bag again.)

WELFARE! SOCIALISM!

The problem is it's virtually all of them. I already avoid spending money wherever I can but I have to buy shit sometimes.

There is a fifth mode: smitten with someone who put him in his place. Xi, Putin, hell even Mamdani

Can't wait until he's in his OFF mode.

Too bad he didn't have a stroke while the neighborhood was blocked with cars due to filming.

Mean I hate wishing ill will on anyone but there's a few exceptions that I think is morally fine as long as I don't take any action and just wish really hard. Like many people that pray.

Few people have erroded our social norms like that douche. While I thought they were stuffy before it's like he dropped his pants and took a shit at the table before his first bite then calls you crazy for being offended.

That's the point. His brain is so damaged that he can't remember stuff he does every day.

Yet Sleepy Don still can't remember.

Probably. But he couldn't tell you.

True his sycophants wouldn't let some fudge go to waste

No, he's not getting away with it. Tyrants are going to prison across the world these days, and the entire planet knows that nobody deserves it more than Trump.

I don't care how old, feeble, and demented he is, he is going to prison, and most, of not all, of his fortune will be confiscated. I will dedicate the rest of my life to seeing that this happens, and I KNOW that I will not be alone.

Trump will go to jail, or politicians will lose their careers, and possibly their freedom for theiralfeadance.

This is non-negotiable.

That was then, this is now. He better go to prison, for his own good, or his life will be very short. And any politician who does not enthusiastically pursue justice for Trump will have their careers cut short.

Trump will go to prison. This is non-negotiable.

It is the second ingredient in most of their drinks
