I realize there are a million more important problems this clown car of administration is going to cause and I’m worried about all of them (mostly losing my health insurance and disability discrimination against my loved ones.) But I’m not going to lie and say that the fact that I’ll never get to replace the countertops in my kitchen isn’t something I think about every morning when I get my coffee. So much for a kitchen remodel.
All my house reno projects just went bust.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Tuesday that she would impose tariffs in retaliation to those proposed by President-elect Trump in a newly outlined plan for the start of his administration

Exactly. Everyone has seen the Trump show.

We live in an idiocracy now, and it will get much, much worse.

Still time to fix yourself and help our society. Will be tough for someone like you but one less idiot is always a good thing.

Yes. MAGA loved the Covid pandemic and voted for Trump so that we could all experience the supply chain shortages again.

They forgot how they had to wipe their butts with leaves.

That’s true. There were some neighborhoods where most of the trees were devoid of leaves.

Those were strange times of unexplained rashes in embarrassing places.

So, basically open bribery.

Really making America Great Again!

That’s not going to happen with foreign companies. I say this as someone who despises the felon. The Chinese won’t do this because to pledge loyalty to him over Xi Jingping is definitely not happening. You’d also have to have a lot of people lying including US lawyers, commerce workers, economic advisors, etc.

Besides the felon is a total wimp. He was tough talking during his campaign saying Chinese tariffs would be 60-100% and now he’s saying a measly 10%. Hopefully he’s as ineffective as last time, more or less. Though he walked away richer.

He threatened a lot of tariffs during his first term too, and ended up not doing most of them. What he did do was fairly limited and just hurt some specific industries like soybean farmers. Markets seem to be assuming it’s just more bluster. He has the attention span of a gnat so there’s a very high chance he will have completely forgotten about this threat in two months. I guess we’ll find out soon enough. So fun having the economy subject to the whims of a delusional idiot.

Or…maybe not?
Remember these are the folks who tracked their feces around the Capitol.
