    104%? Do more donny, how about 520%, that will show them, and all the stores will be empty of merchandise. What an idiot this moron is.

        I think we should tone it down to 69% and be responsible adults about this

      No we’ve switched to the “hard times now for better times in the distant future” narrative now and pretending the “instant market boom and curing inflation” wasn’t entirely what he campaigned on

        You don’t understand, all the US demand will filled in by US supply when there is no supply, demand, and economy in the U.S. :)

          No no no, all the jobs will come back, the jobs that nobody wants to do because they pay so badly that no one can afford all the products that are a lot more expensive due to the tariffs. And that’s not even mentioning the factories that need to be built first with all the stuff that is more expensive now as well.

          The US is completely fucked. The world too, but a lot less badly than the US.

      If no one can buy anything, or have any money, then inflation can’t happen.

        And the judges too. And none of them will stand up for the oaths they swore until they are more afraid of us than they are of the magats. What we need is those protests of last weekend but with everyone armed, until then they will listing to the armed minority.
