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

[-] stormesp@lemm.ee 79 points 5 days 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 5 days 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 !

"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 4 days ago

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

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

[-] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 58 points 5 days 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 5 days 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 5 days 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 5 days 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 5 days ago

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

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days ago

"Dipshit American Leader Threatens To Hurt Americans More"

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 24 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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

[-] j_elgato@leminal.space 16 points 5 days 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 5 days ago

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

[-] KulunkelBoom@lemm.ee 11 points 5 days 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?

[-] europeanfan122@lemm.ee 6 points 4 days ago

Aha. Somehow Europe and Canada are guilty.

[-] dumblederp@aussie.zone 5 points 4 days ago

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

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 13 points 5 days ago

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

[-] pleasegoaway@lemm.ee 10 points 5 days 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.

[-] orcrist@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

I'm not following. The stock market was already owned almost entirely by the ultra rich. You're gonna need to clarify or update your theory for it to make sense.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days 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 5 days ago

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

[-] chuck@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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

[-] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

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

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 4 days ago

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