This is what we asked for. We wanted proof of life. When Donald Trump disappeared from public view, everyone was concerned he had breathed his last breath. It instead appears as if he was just holding his breath so that he could come back to expel even more hot air.
The President was back stumbling through another rant about tariffs yesterday, and somehow he managed to make even less sense than usual. At one point, he insists the stock market needs tariffs, and without them we’d be a “third-world country.” It’s equal parts alarming, ridiculous, and unsurprising.
“The stock market is down because of that because the stock market needs the tariffs and wants them. If you took away tariffs, we could end up being a third world country.” – Trump
One of the most unintelligent humans to ever roam the planet.

We are well on our way to being a third world country. We already have our very own Tin Pot Dictator

Only someone who went bankrupt running casinos could claim tariffs are the lifeline of the stock market. Trump talks about ‘third world countries’ while proving he never understood how first world economies work.

It’s amazing how someone that stupid became a billionaire, and managed to evade accountability his entire life.

Literally NONE of those investments will happen. None of them. They were all “promised” to kiss Trump’s ass.
