"I've decided to stop beating you. Now thank me". Whew. You know those evangelicals are gonna eat this shit up though because that whole concept is their core belief.
reciprocal
Gee, I wonder what got them there.
The idea that this administration truly believes we’d accept this as evidence of him actually doing something is fucking insulting.
We aren't the target audience.
Unfortunately, there is an audience that will swallow this rancid shit and ask for seconds.
Swallow especially if the rancid shit is from a guy named Bubba.
Fair point.
... and now corporate partners have raised food prices on everyone.
The removal of tariffs should allow these corporations to lower their prices but they won't ... because those prices have now been normalized and will never go down. The corporations will take the savings and keep prices high.
That was the reason for the original tariffs ... that was the reason for removing them.
They gave corporations tax breaks to save them money ... then gave them an excuse to raise prices and funnel even more money into their pockets.
They're Making American Great Again ... for a very small group of really wealthy Americans
Also, don't forget that IF the courts deem all these tariffs void and they have to be paid back, guess who gets the payments.
Hint, not us.
Sawing off the branch their prosperity is built on. Hoping, perhaps not incorrectly, that they'll be dead before we all hit the fucking ground.
Now that tariffs are removed we get the opportunity to implement new tariffs that will raise prices even more
Sounds like the system is working as intended. In America, money votes!
Money has more rights than people
It's a Plutocracy .... a government run by the wealthy or those with money
rather than
A Democracy ... a government run by the people
And for anyone wondering, yes it's real.

Also, don’t forget to thank your lover for not beating you anymore.
more like beating you slightly less.
Holy gaslight batman!
Create the problem and take credit for undoing it. This is all Trump has ever done.
That's not true, he's also taken credit for things other people have done.
That's BOUND to be satire, right???
I believe they're trying to put The Onion out of business.
I feel like the Onion should sue due to impact of their business.
How to make maga blame Biden for something . Step 1. Be a fucking moron day 1.
Step 2. Backtrack on being a moron but make yourself look like a hero..
Step 3. Blame Joe Biden
Delivering Fuck All Squared.
Guaranteed companies don't lower prices lol. Then they can blame Mexicans some more!
Were those part of the national security tariffs?
And the MAGAt moron brigade cheers like mad...as if the Pedo-in-Chief isn't the one who set those tariffs in the first place. Dumbasses. I'm amazed they can even breath without conscious thought.
Reciprocal of what?
Team Trump took the US trade deficit with each country, divided it by our exports, and called that a "tariff" being imposed by the trading partner. They then imposed "reciprocal tariffs" of 50% of that trade deficit, with a minimum of 10%. It is shockingly stupid from a regime known for shocking levels of stupidity.
Step 1: Think of some numbers.
Step 2: ...
Step 3: Global economic supremacy.
...apparently.
For realz this time
If the administration wasn't pure fucking evil, I'd admire the audicity of taking credit for undoing the terrible policy they enacted months ago.
