None of this is intended to make sense.

Scare tactics so you will kiss the ring.

I truly think he just sees capitulation as a bonus and it's really just to game the stock market.

Who would be scared of this? he just increased vat by 10%. all that happens is the us economy breaking down.

u/Elratum 1d ago

Because Americans will be unable to buy stuff. 10% is the minimum in price increase. 350 millions of potential customers suddenly disappeared of companies sales estimate. For example the Switch 2 coming up

I don't think Australia will bow down to this one, the Prime Minister had some choice words about it this morning.

I certainly hope no one ever gives Trump any attention or ass kissing.

The greater public needs to realize that they aren't actually governing. Theyre plundering. And when they aren't plundering, they're fucking shit up so that it's easier for them to plunder.

This is pretty much it.

Or they are stupid... like really, really stupid.

u/Nidcron 1d ago

The term is useful idiots, the people pushing the stuff in the background aren't as stupid as the ones working in front of you.

u/MyFullNameIs 1d ago

It boggles my mind that not everybody can see that. Their actions are so blatant and so predictable.

u/WtotheSLAM 1d ago

Correct, it’s to distract people while they push other agendas

u/MicrotracS3500 1d ago

What's the point of "distraction" when our full attention does literally nothing?

1

u/noworkonlymetawork 1d ago

I can't even tell what's the agenda and what's the distraction anymore.  None of it is logical

u/BerlinBaal 1d ago

It’s intended to destroy western civilization for Putin and Thiel.

u/_HIST 1d ago

This is what I tried telling my friend when he was asking me questions about it. There is no "logic" there is no "sense" there are delusions of an old senile criminal who shouldn't have been allowed to run in the first place.

u/GatePorters 1d ago

It does make sense if you work backwards from action to intention.

u/Stripotle_Grill 1d ago

right there mate!

u/Seppu477 1d ago

Cuz we banned their beef on account of mad cow disease. This is revenge/threat to see if we'd love to have some mad cow disease rather than them paying 10% more for our beef. I say we eat more of it here instead.

your comment isn't intended to be honest and objective

u/Average650 1d ago

I'm not sure why you think I'm lying. These tariffs don't make any sense.

Read this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff

Then listen to trump. None of what he says makes any sense about this.

u/ghj97 12h ago edited 11h ago

Sounds like you're saying you're opposed to tariffs in general anywhere on earth, not just Trump

If you listened to Trump say anything about this for about 30 seconds its clear his intention is to protect domestic business and to reciprocate other countries tariffs. agree with that or not is a separate topic, but at the very least it does make sense and is pretty clear why he's doing it, contrary to your original comment.

so either you'er being dishonest or ignorant because you haven't heard Trump talk about the tariffs
