Are We Feeling Liberated Yet? - Trump thread #141

[Spandauer]

King Donald has bigly new tariffs, First Lady Elmo turns out to be ballot box poison and 'Pick Me Girl' Vance is a meanie to the EU.

(But at least the penguins on the Heard and McDonald Islands are wearing suits)

Oooooh was it the mention of you know what coin? Maybe they thought it was spammy.

Yeh it autohides any post that mentions you know what coin. It’s a regular occurrence on our Ukraine threads.

Because you mentioned the b---n word

@AcrossthePond55

Yes, not a coincidence they chose the most unsympathetic court system possible.

I think it's clear to the rest of the world that SCOTUS has become somewhere for old folks to play dress up.

You did vote for this

So it begins with the US considering pulling back troops from Eastern Europe.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna199603

I sometimes do a bit of online gaming to avoid the shitshow that is happening in the real world at present. My general rule whilst gaming is not to discuss religion or politics.

However, it appears that there is no escape.. First thing I saw when I logged on..😂

I saw this playing Fortnite earlier and did laugh 😂

It's probably just a coincidence. But if not, I think it's interesting that a big company like Epic (now in partnership with Disney) are using their platform to have a dig at the Current Financial Fiasco (CFF for short).

BREAKING
Trump raises tariffs on China to 104%

What a pathetic man he is.

I know it won't change anything, but I'm looking forward to the Musk-Navarro cage fight. Musk is younger but Navarro (fighting name Ron Varon) probably learned a few skills in the clink.

Willy waggling by those with little to waggle

From today’s Times.

Nobel prizewinner: This is America’s Liz Truss moment
A Nobel prizewinning economist has said this is America’s “Liz Truss moment” and the damage from Trump’s tariffs will be “long, drawn out and extremely painful”.

Simon Johnson, a professor of entrepreneurship at MIT who won the Nobel prize last year for his work comparing prosperity between nations, told Times Radio that the “US economy is so deep and so resilient … it’s just really hard to blow it up. But Mr Trump is having a go.”

Yeah, I think Ron can take Leon. 🥊

Anyone expecting China to raise theirs to 105%?
🍊

Leavitt: "When America is punched, he punches back harder. That's why there will be 104% tariffs going into effect on China tonight at midnight. But the president believes that Xi and China want to make deal, they just don't know how to get that started."

Yes dear

Of course no one punched America first….

His middle class voters are going to really hate him.

Come on China, welcome to Trumps game of double those tariffs. How much do you really need to buy from America? Who will fold first? Double or quits? Go big or go home!

🎶you've gotta... Know when to fold 'em, know when to fold 'em!

DJT to speak live shortly

‘Speak’ is probably generous. Ramble incoherently, possibly…

Any idea what about?
