Grace Under Pressure

It was surprising to see Duffy blame Biden though

Make America Sacrifice Again Can’t make this up. “We should sacrifice because Trump said so!” That level of sycophancy wasn’t even on my bingo card. C’mon. Admit this con man duped you three times. It’s ok. It was always Trump looking out for Trump, not looking out for you.

People still don't understand how tariffs work? Which, of course, is what Trump was banking on. Dumb, gullible, unwavering supporters. Parroting his talking points while middle class suffers. Meanwhile, he negotiates personal deals for himself. Get a clue. Ya been hoodwinked.

This is a contributing factor to the suicides, unfortunately. As for the thread. Just mind your own business. It's not that hard. It's highly unlikely anyone actually gives a shyt what you think anyway.

Real ID is woke.

Trump just says out loud the strategy that his sycophant advisors tell him to employ. If it’s good take credit, if it’s bad it’s Biden’s fault. Trump, lacking any nuance or basic brain processing, just repeats it verbatim. President of the United States folks.

“Whatabout Obama and Hillary though?” Trump said this. No one else. Have some accountability for once in your lives.

Because they’re dumb

Cult followers defend this. Or blame the libs Grow up.

This is also what his gullible supporters unironically regurgitate.

Mostly crickets as the real world acknowledges that one guy’s impotence is wrecking the U.S. economy. Singlehandedly.

None of them are man enough to admit that Trump's economic plan is not just a failure, but a disaster.

And also to blame Biden, which his gullible supporters will believe and amplify. It's clear after tripling down they'll never blame their cult leader for anything. Even the things he clearly does. Pathetic.

"It's not really happening" is followed by "Yeah, it's happening but it's not a big deal". It ends with "the people pointing it out are actually to blame". Or Obama, Biden, etc.

While there is still a democracy discussion in there somewhere, totally agree with this sentiment overall. Would call it the economy for the 99.9%, vs. the 0.1% Trump caters to. He brings along poor red states with "trannies and illegals". Suckers.

This. Democrats act like weaklings, and can't get themselves to message on the correct side of simple issues.

The White House is big mad that Amazon is showing the tariff charges on items because they were counting on gullible supporters to never figure out that tariffs are paid by consumers, i.e. them. Great job Trump. Focked up the world's best economy in only 100 days. If you voted for this, pat yourself on the back. We lost because of you.

Any of the MAGA rally-going crowd going to join the new “Executive Branch Club” that Trump is charging $500,000 to join? Oh, they’re not invited to join? Only multi-millionaire CEOs and tech bros are invited? That’s really surprising, given how much access the MAGA rally goers have had to Mar-a-Lago. The. Most. Gullible. Rubes.

Dumbest ever, and an embarrassment. Accurate and succinct.

Do people understand yet that American consumers pay Trump’s tariffs? Not the other countries? My favorite part is the deflection that Trump’s tariffs are somehow Obama or Biden’s fault.

Trump does something that's dumb, or that solely benefits him and his insider circle (which are the only two things he does). People call it out. MAGA blames the people calling it out. Never change.

What a joke. Your boy did this. Own up to something for once.

I will say he's successful and probably vote for the Republican in my Congressional District if this happens. I'm not wild about the approach, but I'll be honest about the outcome.

People mistake bluster and "tough talk" for strength with this guy. Trump is a weak man's version of a strong man.

If the US actually gets measurably better trade agreements with major counties/blocs (talking China, Europe, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea sized economies here), and the S&P 500 recovers to a measurable gain in 2025, I will say it was worth it, but will still disagree with the approach. We are currently trending in the opposite direction on both counts. If we wanted better trade agreements, he should have just negotiated them. WTF. A lot of the deals we had in place were from Trump's first term.
