Donald was up early after a dark night covered in coal dust.
"This is a GREAT time to move your COMPANY into the United States of America, like Apple..."
Um, did he just forget that Apple already is an American company? Is he talking about making the iPhone in America? With all those people needed to assemble, especially with those frigging tiny screws, it'll cost $5,000 instead of $1,000. With a tariffs, made in China with 104% tariffs, it would still be only $2,000. Apple will just have to raise the price, they're not going to make stuff here.
The idiot is still talking about coal power.
"... and almost immediate Electrical/Energy hookups and approvals. No Environmental Delays. DON'T WAIT, DO IT NOW!"
Coal powered electrical hookups. No environmental delays on building the coal-fired power plants. Don't lose out on this special offer. Write down this discount code and your EPA regulation bypass.
The next one is self-explanatory.
He just can't say it enough times.
After yesterday's beautiful, clean coal, now he has a "BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL." If you're trying to cut government costs, shouldn't it be a small bill?
"The USA will Soar like never before!!!"
It's more like we're "sore" at your tariffs. Everybody. Financial analysts, the markets, the people with money and those without. We all hate you!
The first order to Republicans wasn't enough. He had to make sure that plain English wasn't being misunderstood.
"Our Country Will Boom!"
There's no "will" about it. It already went "boom" under Biden. It's going "bust" under you.
"Fixing Trade and Tariffs is a good thing!"
Yes, it is. But, you didn't "fix" them. You broke them irretrievably. Even if you canceled them today, there is a massive amount of damage done. JP Morgan said it's the worst financial decision a president has ever made.
"BE COOL!"
This isn't "Happy Days" or "Grease." This is reality. Something you know very little about.
"The USA will be bigger and better than ever before!"
The cheerleading squad just went home. They got the measles thanks to RFK Jr.
"THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!"
No, it's not. Peter Navarro said you should hold on to your stock. He didn't say anything about buying it. If you're talking about buying stuff at the store, it may already be too late for the consumer. Importers had a week's notice to get stuff from China in. Oh, wait a minute, ships don't move that fast. Everybody is screwed.
That lying son of a b*tch just did what everyone communicating from the White House said was not going to happen. Trump said he wasn't going to do it. He said he would never change policy.
Trump just paused the tariffs for 90 days.
Everybody but China gets a break. But now it's 125% instead of 104%. WTF?
75 countries have come a runnin' to beg for mercy. Just what Trump really wanted all along. He's a vain, narcissistic megalomaniac.
There's still a 10% tariff on everybody.
I rest my case.
