Trump is such a covfefe piece of shit.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 14 hours ago

Someone post the Eric Andre shooting Hannibal meme.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 14 hours ago

Good point. Note to future self: It needs to be in reverse because Trump is undoing it.

[-] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 7 points 16 hours ago

I still have my phone set to autocorrect that to covfefe.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 14 points 18 hours ago

Gee, tariffs cause inflation? I was informed otherwise by trusted felons.

Create a problem, sell the solution. Second oldest trick in the book.

Damn, that's like the most (and only?) real Christian thing he has ever done.

That's what tyranny is like. It's very similar to Stockholm syndrome. The person hurting you stops hurting you as much and you thank them for it.

[-] orbitz@lemmy.ca 8 points 20 hours ago

That's why the US defunded education, then people can't understand what is being done and accept their propoganda.

[-] minorkeys@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

Not even hyperbole. Education tends to make people more left, so the right systematically destroyed it in red states. They don't care that people make worse choices into heir lives, they just want to stay in power.

t: “I am adding tariffs to the foods you sell.”

Seller: “we will raise our prices to cover the cost of the tariffs.”

Customers: “we can’t afford the foods and won’t buy as much.”

t: “I am removing the tariffs I added earlier. Now you can lower prices.”

Customer: “yeah. Lower your prices now.”

Seller: “…no.”

How do American cattle ranchers feel about imported beef being made more affordable? Serious question.

[-] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 3 points 13 hours ago

Tyson is closing a major meat processing plant in Nebraska, so prices should stay high because of the artificial bottleneck in the supply chain. Profits however will increase because of lower tariffs

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

As a Canadian rancher/farmer, I listen to US cattle podcasters and commenters and laugh my fucking ass off. They're fucking livid. It's true face-eating leopard time.

Prices aren’t coming down because record profits and shareholders. The only thing that will bring prices down in this godforsaken dystopia is guillotines

"Wow, he raised the prices of everything after he campaigned on lowering prices! I love you, Mr. Trump!!"

"Wow, he's lowering the cost of coffee to a bit higher than it was before he raised the prices of everything! I love you, Mr. Trump!! You're going all-in on affordability!"

"Wow, the price of coffee is still as high as it was before he signed a bill because American companies realized that Americans will pay the higher price for them! What a brilliant victory for Mr. Trump!!"

That is what these people sound like.

It's possible a significant portion of Republicans are closeted and repressed sado-masochists that keep having political outbursts in lieu of expressing themselves in a more appropriate environment.

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

a simpler explanation is that they are all morons

[-] MotoAsh@piefed.social 7 points 23 hours ago

Definitely both. Sadistic morons.

[-] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 4 points 23 hours ago

Turns out if you are really stupid, you won't even notice when you are a shitty person.

[-] DarkSideOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

The sad part many people will see this as him doing something to reduce prices…

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Turns out that now that he is older his libido is down. This means less women and children are getting raped. We should applaud him for this reduction!

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

The serial stabber telling you he’ll stop stabbing a couple specific body parts. They expect praise for their benevolence. Praise them, you common chattel.

[-] wuffah@lemmy.world 86 points 1 day ago

A weak person’s idea of strength.

Stop hitting yourself! Ah, do you see how my hands, which have been tightly wrapped around your wrists this whole time, are currently not making you hit yourself? You're welcome.

[-] Shamber@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Meet Eric, Eric has the brain of fruit fly, Eric quotes Charlie Kirk for "inspiration", don't be like Eric, read a book instead and keep your idiotic opinions to your self, help make the world a better place

[-] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 3 points 21 hours ago

We NEED Tariffs to PROTECT our National Security and Pocketbooks!

-People CHEERING Trump for DROPPING his Tariffs to Protect our National Security and Pocketbooks!

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The damage is done Don, you fucking dimwit. Prices will remain.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

I kinda think that was the point. He's been taking bribes openly for a while now.

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Perhaps, but I'm sold on the fact that he's just that stupid. I have a coworker that is a NY Trumper that seriously believed what they were told by the admin about tariffs: that the businesses overseas should pay those, not consumers. I really believe Trump thought that. He's a cave man.

(Apologies to all the cave man homies out there.)

"Stop moaning, I'm going to stitch up that wound...that I caused by stabbing you repeatedly.
THANK ME, THEN! TELL ME HOW GLORIOUS AND NICE I AM!!"

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

That's exactly what that is, bringing them $20 flowers after forcibly pimping them out for $200.

[-] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 day ago

Nope, they'll still be $200. Suppliers would be idiots to lower prices, it's free normalized margin now and insurance in case Trump puts the tariff back again.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I agree with your assessment of what will happen with prices.

I should clarify that I meant he forcibly extracted a value from his victims that's at least an order of magnitude greater than anything he's offered in return, making it a symbolic gesture at best, and too little, too late.

[-] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 22 hours ago

Sad part is its effective. People will be so happy that you were there to take care of them, they will forget you were the one that hurt them in the first place.

People who abuse others that way are actually evil.

Donald Trump cold rape a child on daytime tv and then shoot it in the face. The next day he'll ban guns to protect children and Americans would cheer him on

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

“..and 1/3rd of Americans would cheer him on.” While another 1/6 would ignore it or try to blame it on the libs. The centrists would shrug and say “both sides…” The people on the left would be outraged, and Schumer would OK replacing the bloodstained carpet after a few weeks of ineffective negotiating.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

This is more accurate. Don't forget the part about hundreds of members of congress waiting for the guns to be destroyed before buying up arms manufacturer stocks and voting to overturn the ban. I think that's how that would go.

Edit: missing a word

Thanks, Dear Leader!

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 6 points 1 day ago

Affordability is a Democrat hoax.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah, same old story. Coolidge and Hoover worked so hard to get inflation down. Hoover had it down to -10% by 1933, but then fascist FDR hoodwinked the American people and cherry-picked that perfect economy! He jacked inflation up to over 12% by 1942! Some other stuff happened, too, as I recall, but that inflation, though! I guess some things never change.

[-] cron@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago

It's true. I found this hilarious timeline.
