I'm not sure they know.

Their irrational denial gets sillier and sillier.

Legendary economist says Trump's tariffs could replay 'devastating history'
​

...if you set off a worldwide trade war, that has a devastating history. Everybody loses, because everybody follows suit, and all that happens is you get a great reduction in international trade."

Why China could benefit most from Trump's tariffs​

​

As with the whiner's empowering China, the disastrous trumpery we're getting is not what Americans voted for.

​

Cults cannot honestly acknowledge any discrepancies between their dogmatic articles of faith and empirical reality, but, in the case of Trump, they are blatant for normal Americans.

During the first two turbulent months of Trump’s term, the White House has shrugged off scrutiny of its most controversial policies with a simple assertion: The American people voted for this!​

​

Now, Trump allies and GOP voters spooked by the tariff-induced market crash are beginning to respond en masse: No, we didn’t! Trump won in November because many voters saw him as an antidote to their economic malaise; as a candidate, he frequently promised to lower Americans’ everyday prices...​

Trump pledged to bring down food prices on Day One.​

​

Trump says he can end the Russia-Ukraine war in one day.​

​

Globalization made America rich. Now, Trump's tariffs may upend it.

Trump has until the mid-terms to get things back on track from the Biden mess.

What we can't handle is the $540b that the democrats stole from taxpayers.

Exclusive | $375B EPA slush fund handled by John Podesta gave billions to charities founded only months earlier

The EPA gave out $20 billion to environmental justice and green credit groups that had barely registered with the IRS.

Trump toadies can't persist in forever recycling their mewling of yesteryear to avoid admitting Trump's irresponsibility.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average saw healthy gains in Biden's first 50 days...
Under Trump, meanwhile, the Dow has dropped 3.6%, falling from 43,487.83 the day before his inauguration to close at 41,911.71 on Monday. (March 24, 2025.)

Wall Street Oracle Bill Ackman Admits He Misjudged Trump: 'My Bad'

... "But, by placing massive and disproportionate tariffs on our friends and our enemies alike and thereby launching a global economic war against the whole world at once, we are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital."​

Trump is not very popular now. His approval was about 40%.

You keep whining about TRUMP, but the democrats are TOXIC.

Democrats have a 21% approval, half of Trump's approval.

You democrats need to keep pushing all those 80/20 issues and pushing for the 20s. No worries.

Diversion? How about "an alternative"? There is no viable alternative to Trump.

President Trump is tearing off one hell of a big BandAid! We'll all yell a big, loud "Ouch" and then it will be all over, except for the whiny little babies who want to cry forever because it gets them attention.

Trump isn't even in office 100-days and found at least $580b of "waste, fraud, and theft" by democrats.

Its all a tax. Sadly these are a tax that is going to affect those least able to afford them the most.

We have to fund those tax cuts for the rich.

Trumpy now has yet a THIRD reason for his tariffs. We have a budget deficit and need money, or A TAX

Sure and make those least able to pay it, pay it.

After the US raised tariffs for Cathay to 125%, the window of opportunity for Russian business is wide open, if you slap a “Made in Russia” label on any Chinese junk, you can resell it in the US and make huge profits. This is a historic opportunity

 

[DStar777]

He turned the whole world against US. Except for his buddies in Russia , China and North Korea. That should tell every American trump is a traitor.

Rigggghhhttttt., He's so friendly with China that he reserved his most punitive tariffs for them. You can't make this stuff up.
