So...he thinks they should thank him for putting tariffs on imported beef, but doesn't understand why they would be upset that he's now planning to import enough foreign beef to tank the local market?
I don't know why I'm always surprised by just how stupid he is. It's like every time I think he can't get any stupider...he just lowers the bar again. It's actually kind of amazing. There truly is no bottom.
if you consider that his agenda is to destroy the USA, it makes perfect sense
Nah, he's just an idiot.
Strong, across the board tariffs are something that only Trump wanted. There were two dueling arguments in Project 2025 on this. One wanted the right-libertarian solution of no tariffs at all. The other wanted some tariffs raised on specific things. Neither wanted high tariffs on every country for everything.
It is a solution Trump has personally proposed for a long time, He thinks of himself as a unique economic genius; the only one who sees how tariffs could work. He doesn't consider at all that tariffs used to be a common solution and were abandoned as an economic tool by everyone for a reason. It can be a tool for international politics, but not economics.
I'm sure he doesn't INTEND to destroy the United States, but he just doesn't really care if he does.
It's more like he found a lab that will pay people to participate in clinical trials, and he's signed all of us up to participate in all of them, and he keeps the money.
