    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.

      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.

    The “everyone’s against us” rhetoric will only escalate with very predictable outcomes…

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

    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?

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

    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?

    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.

      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.

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