Only Donald Trump is allowed to do 'economic harm' to the US.

[-] stormesp@lemm.ee 79 points 2 months ago

So he does tariffs and then cry when they are used against him. Fuck off seriously, hope Europe tariffs his ass out of any economic opportunity in the EU

[-] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

And Canada ! I hope to start seeing European products replace american ones on the store shelves everywhere. Fuck Elon, fuck Trump, Fuck all the Republicans Fuck the rest of the USA for letting it happen. And fuck Israel and Russia too !

Shut the fuck up, Donnie, you’re out of your element!

"I'm going to intentionally make it harder for you to sell stuff to the US."

"Okay, so we'll just sell to each other."

"That's an act of war!!"

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Narcs see everything that doesn't serve them as an act of war

[-] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 58 points 2 months ago

I have 2 words for the rapist president Nazi.

They are the words: Fuck you.

You can’t threaten countries after you openly threaten our economies and sovereignty. Get fucked and die orange swine.

[-] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 49 points 2 months ago

He is trying to intentionally tank our economy. I think he's pissed we didn't vote for him in 2020.

[-] Wytch@lemmy.zip 29 points 2 months ago

He doesn't understand the economy well enough to intentionally tank it. You're right about the revenge part though. He is pissed about being rejected, prosecuted, and ridiculed.

The tariffs are his attempt, I think, to extract revenge on the "weak" leftist non-authoritarian democracies that don't show him deference or capitulation.

[-] PineRune@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

He sold out to the next highest bidder.

The "everyone's against us" rhetoric will only escalate with very predictable outcomes...

[-] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Followed by "See I told you! They're all turning against us!"

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Trump will consider Canada doing anything except joining the USA as "economic warfare" or "unjust retaliation"

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

"Dipshit American Leader Threatens To Hurt Americans More"

[-] j_elgato@leminal.space 16 points 2 months ago

Does this moron even know what a tariff is?

Is this part of a pump-and-dump - or is it just the one button he's managed to figure out how to push and so he keeps mashing it, over and over, like a hyperactive toddler with a plastic Fisher-Price Resolute Desk playset?

[-] Oderus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

He doesn't. He thinks the exporting company or country pays the tariff (taxes) and not Americans. He's such a moron.

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago

LMFAO, him and Putin really are the same. Incredibly weak minded men.

[-] KulunkelBoom@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago

What's it going to take? Real Americans going to Washington and dragging this piece of shit out of the oval office and kicking his ass all the way back to Russia?

[-] pleasegoaway@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

The trump regime was designed to TANK the US economy so that stocks, businesses, and industries can be bought by billionaires at rock bottom prices.

All is going according to plan.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Starts a trade war against all of his trade partners all at once. Is surprised that everyone is hitting back.

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Someone should tell him the call is coming from inside the house.

[-] europeanfan122@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Aha. Somehow Europe and Canada are guilty.

[-] dumblederp@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

"Honey, I didn't mean to beat you up, you just make me so angry sometimes, I love you come back."

[-] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

So in order to combat harm to the economy he is going to further harm the economy?

[-] chuck@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Elbows up Canada! EU smart and fast enough the'yll figure out how to checkem in to the boards too

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

And if that doesn't work they'll go build their own trade network! With blackjack and hookers!
