tRump is known for putting his name everywhere, and this is the best use of it yet. I love these suggestions.
x Every bill, receipt or invoice that is affected by Trump tariffs should be stamped in big red type: "TRUMP TARIFFS: Thank you President Trump" — Barry Stein (@guyfromwa.bsky.social) 2025-04-12T10:21:32.607Z
Here’s another:
x We need to encourage businesses to show the Trump Tariff Tax on their receipts and invoices. 👇 — Rachel Bitecofer (@rachelbitecofer.bsky.social) 2025-04-12T20:36:03.276Z
Another way:
x Companies struck by Donald Trump’s trade levies will likely pass the hit along to consumers—and some will want to clearly point the finger at who is to blame. — WIRED (@wired.com) 2025-04-10T10:07:39.845Z
Tariffs can be good in a targeted manner.
And a country should want to protect its food, medicine and weapons supplies.
But they can also be stupid:
x In talking about why blanket tariffs don't work, a famous economist once said, "I have a perpetual trade deficit with my barber; he buys nothing from me." The Trump solution: put a 50% tariff on haircuts. — Rick Stengel (@rickstengel.bsky.social) 2025-04-07T12:44:44.673Z
Even the Wall Street Journal is not keen on them. In fact, Murdoch has been suggestion impeachment and fund managers are wondering if tRump is insane:
x IMHO, if you haven't known for OVER A DECADE that: 1. Trump doesn't have ANY plans ... for anything. He doesn't plan ... he has schemes & cons. 2. Trump doesn't even know what a tariff is. He's an illiterate moron. 3. Trump is completely insane! ... you shouldn't be allowed to be a Fund Manager! — John Moffitt 🌊🌊🧢 (@johnmoffitt.bsky.social) 2025-04-11T15:25:46.484Z
Yeah, our electorate has been terribly slow on catching on to tRump, but some seem to be catching on. There’s a new poll on the economy:
x WSJ/CBS NEWS poll 53% think the economy is getting worse 54% think Trump is responsible 63% dislike approach to tariffs and trade Net approval 44% In Europe, we do not understand why so many Americans are still supporting this disastrous Presidency. — Hubert L (@hubertl75.bsky.social) 2025-04-14T15:56:51.396Z
I don’t understand either. Sigh.
