OMG! The way they determined their “retaliatory tariffs” was to divide what the countries sell America by what they buy from America (the trade gap, not tariffs).
This took a 7% tariff in China and to match us China raised it to 35% based on this idiotic random methodology they decided on.
How did they figure out this metric? They asked CHATGPT to develop a tariff policy for them (without it knowing basic economics or the difference between a trade gap and a tariff).
If you input "What would be an easy way to calculate the tariffs that should be imposed on other countries so that the US is on even playing fields when it comes to trade deficit? Set minimum at 10%." into ChatGPT you get the exact tariff plan they proposed, with the exact same complete misunderstandings of economic terms and realities (like the fact that the US buys more than we sell by choice, or that uninhabited areas can’t be tariffed effectively).

Shocker, because American doesn’t produce products, every country sells us more than we sell them….chatgpt didn’t understand this is by our own design.

So far nearly $4 trillion gone from the stock market, (edit, now day 2, over $7 trillion gone and much more going) and many trillions more lost in cancelled international orders. Q2 will be known as the start of the Trump Depression from now.

Anybody else notice even uninhabited Antarctic islands were included, but not Russia or N Korea? No explanation, they’re just exempted. I know one moron who doesn’t think that means Putin has Epstein tapes of the felon and 13 year olds (maybe 13 year old boys), but he’s the only one.

If only our leadership paid more attention than these students we might not be trying so hard to start a second Great Depression.

How were these tariffs determined? Take Vietnam, who barely imposes tariffs on the US, but they sell us $136 billion in goods and only buy $13 billion from us…he calls that a 90% tariff and generously only imposed a 45% tariff on them. Trade gaps are not tariffs…Vietnam doesn’t have $136 billion to spend on American goods, nor do they want them. This is what we get when not one person running the economy is an economist or even successful at business (without billions in government handouts and bailouts).

Over $2 TRILLION evaporated from the stock market 100% based on these stupid trade war salvos.

*doublepromote for tax hike day, the largest tax hike in history, without congressional approval….20%+

😂 😂 😂 Usha and Vance’s uninvited PR trip to Greenland to “watch dog sledding” is off. They’re still going to Greenland, but won’t leave the US military base for fear of attacks and protests.
The advanced team went a few days ago knocking on doors looking for a Greenland family to invite Usha and Vance into their home….and couldn’t find a single one. Protests erupted and continue, annd even the PM told them they aren’t welcome.
Usha claimed the unwanted trip with multiple administration officials was meant to celebrate the long history of mutual respect and cooperation between our nations…a history the potus crumpled up and threw in the trash by disrespectfully threatening to invade and/or annex the country.

Now Der Speigel, a German news outlet, has found the active cell phone numbers, email accounts, and passwords for Waltz, Gabbard, Hegseth, and others involved in this massive security breach, all easily found online.
Yes, passwords, including passwords and logins for Signal. Everything they said could easily have been intercepted (and may have been).
Maybe this is why using your private phone and private apps is specifically prohibited by the espionage act, and why they’re all guilty of treason by any reading of the law.

The specific attack details, with named targets like the main missile engineer, their exact locations like his girlfriend’s apartment, the exact expected time of attack, and even type of aircraft being used (f-16 and tomahawk missiles), the order they will attack (f-16s 30 minutes after missiles), and where they’re coming from was all totally exposed hours before the attack began on this app that is banned from use for governmental purposes because it is not secure. It is a miracle the Houthis didn’t intercept the messages and planes.
Also exposed were the undercover CIA agents in Yemen that supplied the locations of targets, their names were one of the few things redacted by Goldberg.

Gabbard listening to her own department’s written standards for what must be classified, then a reading of the texts that are exactly what was just described as mandatory classification (attack plans), then trying to defend her lie yesterday that no classified information had been texted is priceless…so is watching her “find out” that one of those on the thread was literally inside the Kremlin when the messages were sent, literally on Putin’s wifi.

Hilariously, the absolutely clueless potus when asked about Hegseth’s culpability said “Hegseth? How do you bring Hegseth into this? He had nothing to do with it.” Somebody might want to tell him.
Yesterday he seemed to not know there had been an attack, or a leak. “I know nothing about it.”
Edit: This morning he admitted he also has no knowledge of the missing 4 US soldiers in Lithuania, missing since Tuesday morning. It sure seems like he’s just there to go on tv, not do work.



Q: He doesn’t even know what’s happening, how could he possibly be directing our responses?
A: He isn’t.

Major congressional hearing right now grilling these administration officials over exposing actual war plans including specific attack details (time, place, target, weapons) and other top classified information through unsecured public channels.
Tulsi Gabbard is twisting on the stand. “I won’t talk about classified material. I won’t say if I was in this group text. There was no classified material. Any classified military material discussed over this open channel was recorded by other means so wasn’t erased, so that’s good enough.” and most telling…”There’s a difference between the accidental release of classified material and intentional.” Totally stupidly contradicting herself repeatedly. Mostly she’s refusing to answer questions, like the rest.
Shockingly there’s no FBI investigation starting….Cash looked like a deer in headlights.

One of the officials on this classified group chat was actually in Moscow, using Kremlin wifi to send these unsecured texts of classified war secrets. Many were using this non governmental app on their private phones to try to hide all records of this attack and their involvement….used because it apparently deletes any records.

The ONLY defense offered so far is to attack the reporter who was much more careful with our nations secrets than the administration officials in question….and while they attack him and try to deny their espionage the Whitehouse has already admitted this serious severe crime occurred. They are attempting to say this is normal and fine that a reporter was included in the classified war planning, despite the clear undeniable wording of the espionage act and the 16 years of investigating Clinton for much less exposure.

Again, this exposure of classified war material through unsecured channels is specifically banned by the espionage act, this is espionage, and therefore treason.
Lock them up. Lock them up. Lock them up. Lock them up. Lock them up. Lock them up. Lock them up. Lock them up. Lock them up. Lock them up. Lock them up. Lock them up. Lock them up. Lock them up. Lock them up….then firing squad time for all 18 involved (and a medal and security for Goldberg).



Side note: Barely reported….the felon has again taken thousands of top secret/classified files to his private unsecured club that is open to the public where they are being stored, possible as out in the open as previously. There’s only one reason to do this….to be able to share/sell them in private.

Not to mention it was known to be compromised by many of our enemies including Iran and Russia…no way there are videos of many involved saying Clinton should be in prison for life for a much lower level exposure of lower level classified information….noooooo.

Btw, this is a direct violation of the espionage act which forbids using such services for classified information, especially important with active military information.

You must be getting tired of losing.

You side use the word nazi as if you even know what it is.

Pick a new trope, this is worn out.

Lets try this.

I hope you die a slow painful death you fucking winners .

That is more accurate WINNERS --
You side LOSERS--
Our side WINNERS.

I don’t know about bird flu, but I had the flu last week and it was much worse than Covid for us.

Bird flu is transferred to cattle and pets….and has been found in milk and meat. It is beyond time to worry, especially since our pandemic response team has been fired….again…just like it was before Covid (by the same person who learned nothing).
The FDA and CDC are run by a man with severe brain damage both from decades of heroin abuse and brain worms eating a significant portion of his brain (although to eat the rotting road kill and get brain worms, he had to have serious brain damage already)…he doesn’t believe in vaccinations and seems to believe the best thing is full epidemic and let whoever dies die.
With Medicare and Medicaid in limbo at best, hospitals are already struggling to stay open, just wait until they are chocked full of patients but few if any staff. Its coming.

Buy PPE now while you can. N95 masks are already gone from shelves here, so is hand sanitizer. Things will get weird, and there will be no public health warnings telling you it is happening. They have been banned outright.

This is why we need a functioning immigration system, like we had before the felon’s first term, not why we need to defund immigration courts, not why we should halt asylum and refugee programs, not why we need to defund the border patrol like Republicans voted for.

The $20 million of taxpayer money used to go to the Super Bowl could have been spent hiring 400 border agents for an entire year! Or 100 immigration judges, either of which could make a noticeable positive difference. The $10 million spent on golf so far, another 200/50. The $1 million per military flight (instead of $8k per immigration flight) could have funded a thousand more border agents or 250 judges. That’s 1600 border agents or 400 judges not hired, not protecting the border, and every penny spent to pay for one man’s entertainment for 3 weeks. So much for eliminating waste or trying to fix the problem.
If doge was looking for waste or fraud, they would have hit the office of the president first, that is where the biggest wastes and frauds are.

Everything he complained about is a direct result of Republicans policy, not one bit from what Democrats voted for or implemented. Nothing the Republicans have done has helped stem the tide at all, except for destroying the economy which had many return home in 2020 for work. They voted against more border control, against better immigration courts, and against working with our neighbors instead of against them.
What keeps enticing immigrants from South America, and they’ve been 100% clear, open, and honest about it whenever they are asked, is Republicans politicians on TV every single day saying the US border is wide open, and that gets shown in their countries. Every time they say “open borders” 1000 immigrants say “woo hoo, let’s go!”.
*lies
*fail

Why is it that no one has noticed that the DOGE bags who are tasked with auditing the government’s budget and finding waste do not include a single accountant but instead are 6 inexperienced racist programmers (at least one an active Nazi they rehired).
That couldn’t be because eliminating waste isn’t the point, but stealing billions or trillions through digital theft and covering their tracks well is the point…no, never. Also has nothing to do with the plan to convert our national gold reserve to bitcoin coin.

Holy crap! Just to drive home the unbelievable incompetence of this administration, our eggs are up to $15 a dozen and rising (3 times their pre-felon cost), in Mexico, a dozen eggs is well under $2!
Expect all food to be similarly overpriced. Just because the tariffs were dropped (except from China) doesn’t mean the trade war is over…Mexico, Canada, and China have all curtailed their orders from the US severely without tariffs. Canada pulled all US alcohol off the shelves, and aren’t keen on putting it back.
Also, thousands were murdered because he suspended funding for experimental medical trials, meaning thousands are in the middle of treatments for deadly diseases which drives medical advancements, many with devices implanted, all of which were just abandoned to die.
And, eggs are so expensive that they are now being hijacked by the truckload, and RFK jr 1) skipped the transition meeting so has no clue what’s happening and 2) doesn’t believe in pandemics so has no plan to address bird flu or any other emerging disease or food shortage.
And we now know why Elon shut down USAID…not because they were wasteful or leftists, Ivanka used millions in USAID herself, they were investigating his Starlink contracts in Ukraine (like overcharging and how he shut them down at critical times to help Russia in the war), so had to close.
Also, he and his subordinate the felon rehired the active proud racist Nazi that quit when he was outed, because they both are Nazis themselves. Time for instigating that Indian hate he advocates against race traitor Vance and his brown family.

I'm Canadian, and many of us Canucks are mobilizing to fight this dumbass' trade war tooth and nail. We helped Trump & Biden to get Chinese EV out of our market. Tiktok out of gov't employees and many other policies besides, but we're getting f*ked by Trump yet to no gain for Americans. It's s shitshow.

My province's Conservative premier got caught in a hot mic moment saying he was "100% happy when Trump got elected but then Trump stabbed him in the back." I was like WTF did he expect?

Is Trump's second term a sort of Baptism by Fire for America's democracy? We're certainly get burned by the inferno south of the border.

Russia is playing videos of nude Melania doing soft core porn constantly on state TV to embarrass the felon. Maybe soon we can see the golden shower tapes.
China put a 15% tariff on US imports and blocked hundreds of billions in deliveries from port while stopping shipments of rare earth minerals and Xi is not taking the felon’s phone calls, we dropped all our tariffs for no gains, in fact 5000 Mexican troops left the border that Biden had secured, we lost around $2 trillion in net worth or more in two weeks, we destroyed international relations with both our neighbors (both of which are now considering BRICS and distancing themselves from America as much as possible), and we stated unambiguously that treaties and official agreements (like the felon’s own trade agreement) with the US aren’t worth the paper they’re written on and are discarded at any whim, so no more agreements, treaties, or being allied. Canada removed all US alcohol off their shelves, don’t expect it to return.
Eggs $15.
No company is hiring or expanding nationwide now, because they have no idea what insanity the felon will do next, what stupid tariffs they will have to contend with, what supply chains will be cut, or what allies will refuse deliveries.
Winning!

And…..the first article of impeachment has been filed. How long before a few Republicans grow a spine and stand up.

Inflation already exploding maybe double digits already. Suddenly maga says “inflation is patriotic”

Gas prices are spiking. Grocery prices spiking double digits, eggs $12! Stock market crashing. China’s international trade pact has gained a dozen (40) nations with all central and South America in talks while they consider trade war with America while switching from using the dollar to using the yuan.

Unemployment exploding unbelievably. Crops rotting in fields because there’s no one to harvest them. Hiring frozen.

Ukraine war still in full effect, with 6 more on the horizon thanks to threats.

We quit the WHO and closed our pandemic response team (again) and forced all public health agencies to stop communicating with the public right as bird flu is emerging as a pandemic.

Child pornographers, the biggest/most prolific drug dealer ever in America who assassinated his rivals, and over 1500 more violent cop killing thugs released from prison to reek havoc across America, many already rearrested for violent armed crimes, one got in a shootout with police and died.

Just 8 days in, and the nation is completely crumbling, the rule of law gone, the economy in freefall, a pandemic starting. The president is on vacation.

If you voted for this and you love America, you should eat your gun.
