I’d quibble with calling it “deranged”. Illogical sure. Nonsense, even ridiculous, but not deranged.
His only real play has always been to define a scapegoat and stoke outrage. That’s the point here, rather than anything useful
I’ll slap tariffs on banana imports so people buy domestically grown bananas!
I’ll slap tariffs on cocoa imports so people buy domestically grown cocoa!
Everybody knows that Arkansas grows the finest coffee beans in the world.
Don’t spill the beans
I wonder if he knows the price of a banana.
It is one banana clgoh. What could it cost. 10 dollars?
How much can they be clgoh, $10 dollars?
Something belched up thoughtlessly does not count as a plan.
Does it count as a concept of a plan?
He doesn’t understand the nuances of making policy decisions, so his default answer to stuff like this is to just impose tariffs because that’s all he knows. He doesn’t care to understand and would likely eat the crayons you use if you were to try to explain it to him. He’s just incapable of that sort of mental growth.
I don’t know how you can miss that, though.
Tariffs on imported goods means the price raises to cover the increased cost to import it.
Tariffs are a mechanism to encourage domestic production by making foreign competition more expensive.
It’s literally the opposite of reducing the cost to consumers.
Trump has to understand this. But he knows his rabid base do not. So he says it like it’s going to help consumers, rather than exclusively the domestic producers that are already overcharging.
Trump has to understand this.
Who says? It seems like these days he doesn’t even know which state or city he’s in, I think the likelihood of him understanding literally any political theory at all is close to zero.
He doesn’t understand anything. He’s lived in a completely separate reality his entire life.
Why do average Americans still rate Trump as better on the economy? It’s certainly nothing rational.
Trump bizzness man, trump smart
Don’t insult the Pakled like that.
They are smart.
They outsmarted Captain Janeway by getting Rumdar onto the Enterprise as a spy.
Red alarm!
Trump’s hat is small.

That roughly checks out with our electoral results tbh
Stable Business Genius: Let’s lower prices by raising prices - checkmate liibs
