Why do average Americans still rate Trump as better on the economy? It’s certainly nothing rational.
Trump bizzness man, trump smart
Don't insult the Pakled like that.
They are smart.
They outsmarted Captain Janeway by getting Rumdar onto the Enterprise as a spy.
Trump's hat is small.
Red alarm!
Gas prices lowwwww
4 in 10 Americans are fucking morons.
That roughly checks out with our electoral results tbh
He doesn't understand the nuances of making policy decisions, so his default answer to stuff like this is to just impose tariffs because that's all he knows. He doesn't care to understand and would likely eat the crayons you use if you were to try to explain it to him. He's just incapable of that sort of mental growth.
He doesn't understand anything. He's lived in a completely separate reality his entire life.
I’ll slap tariffs on banana imports so people buy domestically grown bananas!
I’ll slap tariffs on cocoa imports so people buy domestically grown cocoa!
Everybody knows that Arkansas grows the finest coffee beans in the world.
Every year, I travel the world collecting the best coffee beans I can find. I collect them and bring them back to my home in Minnesota, and use them as fuel to roast the beans I grow by myself on the roof of my building under grow lights.
Don't spill the beans
I wonder if he knows the price of a banana.
It is one banana clgoh. What could it cost. 10 dollars?
How much can they be clgoh, $10 dollars?
Stable Business Genius: Let's lower prices by raising prices - checkmate liibs
Something belched up thoughtlessly does not count as a plan.
Does it count as a concept of a plan?
Here's his VP's plan:
"I think we are increasingly in a situation where we are going to choose between one or the other. We're going to have to get a little uncomfortable on some of these things or maybe you're going to have to be willing to pay a little bit more for certain consumer goods. We may even have to be willing to attack some of the companies financially that are waging war on the American people."
Hey, that sounds a little bit like anti-monopoly talk, doesn't it. Crazy how price fixing might be bad for the average person.
... I don't think that's where he was going, but that's where he started.
Wouldn't it be simpler to have Mexico pay for groceries?
I’d quibble with calling it “deranged”. Illogical sure. Nonsense, even ridiculous, but not deranged.
His only real play has always been to define a scapegoat and stoke outrage. That’s the point here, rather than anything useful
Hey! USA Avocado industry would be thriving if Mexico wasn't shipping all theirs in without a tariff.
But a sable genius once said. "What we have is a thing called the gasoline. We have gasoline. We have so much gasoline, we don’t know what to do. They don’t have gasoline. So why are we making a product that they dominate? They’re going to dominate."
This was in reply to the question "How are you going to bring down the cost of food and groceries?".
I think you can apply the same logic here. "What we have is a thing called the corn. We have corn. We have so much corn, we don’t know what to do. They don’t have corn. So why are we making a product [avocados] that they dominate? They’re [Mexico] going to dominate."
Trump is an economic idiot.
