Trump's Speech To Congress: Tariffs are NOT about Border. "It's About Making America Rich"
(lemmy.ca)
I thought the reason for trashing trade agreements and taking a wrecking ball to the Canadian economy with extreme tariffs was because of fentanyl coming from Canada at the border?
Apparently not, says Trump, from his speech at Congress tonight: “... Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again”.
By his own words, he has just shown his big lie.
The words of a weak, pathetic man.
I don't know of any other word to use for him than evil. Who deliberately destroys millions of lives intentionally purely for their own monetary gain?
The problem is, many many Americans support this kind of leadership style of USA. The world needs to stop supporting America. Stop buying American products and services. America's only goal is destroy everyone and everything else for it's own gain.
It is out of compassion for others that I can only recommend the rest of the world seeks to protect itself from the madness that has spawned here.
We can't protect ourselves. We have to fully engage. We have to be mad as hell, and voice ourselves loud and clear. We have to engage. With social media, friends, family, but most importantly local officials in government.
I listened to it with my dad. Horrible. This guy is mentally ill and doesn’t comprehend what tariffs do. It will crash America’s economy and squeeze even harder the middle class there. Unless that’s what he wants..
It would be underestimating Trump to think he doesn't understand what tariffs do.
He's backed by the richest men in the world, and he's going scorched earth to make them richer.
He's not stupid; he's greedy, nefarious and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals of making America's richest folks even richer at the expense of everything else.
Trump by himself is just a rambling old man. What is scary is the army of like-minded people worshipping him.
This. We cannot underestimate how sinister he is. He talks like he’s dumb but it’s a tactic to broaden his appeal. He’s a smart narcissist and he loves to be worshipped.
He is being played like a violin by Russia. I don’t know if he’s too dumb to realize it, or he thinks playing with Russia will get him his own Putin like stature. Which it might!
...trump's an imbecile, but some clever folks are spoon-feeding their asset...
