The end goal is making private industry and foreign nations grovel in subservience.
I think we have to take trump literally: the goal is to make the USA a primarily manufacturing country. Like Stalin's forced industrialization policy that destroyed so many lives.
And of course trump loves all the spotlights on him and all the money flowing to him as bribes to help particular companies survive.
Yes!
We must remember that with Trump the most childish, immature and base explanation usually turns out to be true. It is a lesson we get forced to learn over and over. Yet we admittedly fail to keep learning. There is no master plan. No 4-D chess.
Trump loves this tariff chaos and suffering for no other reason that he loves the attention. He loves the media screaming questions at him. He loves all the 24/7 coverage on TV. All over the world people are talking about Trump And he loves world leaders trying to have meetings with him to make a deal.
This is what happens when you put a damaged, narcissistic sociopath in power.
Wow. Maddow explains where Trump originally got his tariff idea.... It is doozy. Are you sitting down? Please do me a favor and sit down.
Trump never had any economic policy per se. So he tasked Jared Kushner to find him an economic expert in Trump 1.0. Kushner went to Amazon and started searching books by titles. There he found a book with a cool title called Death by China. He didn't read it. But he liked the title so he called the author who was Peter Navarro. He is the one with all the strange tariff ideas that eventually went to prison for Trump. What is his authority? Well, repeatedly in his books he cites an economic expert named Ron Vera to bolster his tariff claims and economic theories. This Ron Vera even emailed the White house repeatedly trying to convince Trump to adopt these tariff ideas. Well. Ron Vera doesn't exist. It is a made up person. Navarro cites a fictional person as his economic authority. In fact Ron Vera is just an anagram of Navarro's own name. A switcharoo on the lettering. Peter Navarros theories are pulled out of his posterior orifice.
Yes. This Peter Navarro is the one that put Trump's tariffs into his head and is still guiding Trump in his tariff lunacy. And the expertise behind it is a made up person. I bet you didn't think this dumpster fire of a presidency could be more insane.
Now you know the rest of the story....
Ron Vara would be an anagram of Navarro, not Ron Vera.
The best name anagram ever is, of course, Jim Morrison's second self Mr. Mojo Risin'. Hearing him refer to himself in L.A. Woman will send shivers up your spine (if you have a soul). Morrison often said that when he disappeared into Africa he would send us messages with that calling card to let us know he was okay. Going on 55 years now and still no word from Mr. Mojo Risin'.

lol you worship and make homoerotic AI images of fat old golfer who sh!ts his pants and doesn’t understand basic
you guys let Trump insult your wives and you bow down to him
You let Trump insult your kids and you cheer him on
So no one‘s buying the tough guy act because we all know it’s online only.
How is Himself "defending women" as is stated in his official policy list: grabbing them by the genitalia?! Is that how he will enforce lavatory gender policy: grab "them" by their "boys?" Well the latent types will get a charge out of that.

I'm still waiting on word from Harry Houdini! Nothing. Not even a weather report. Why do you suppose theres never been a verifiable communication from "the great beyond" that damn near everyone believes in and bets on.? Seances are for suckers.

Just think how much the Biden-corrupted stock market would have cratered had Trump not decisively applied the tariffs as a remedial tourniquet of sorts to stop the goddam bleeding yesterday.
Went to Starbucks after a run and ordered up a Grande Pikes Place coffee. The barista scanned my app and I took my coffee. Wandered over to the cream section and started to stir it in. After a couple sips it dawned on me that I maintain a serious trade deficit with Starbucks. So I ranted and bitched at the barista for 20 minutes about how she is abusing me economically and I am subsidizing her. She was exhausted with me and asked what it would take for me to leave the store and not come back.
Long story short I got my coffee free to help correct this unfair and awful trade imbalance.
According data from the National Science Foundation, 80% of Life Science PhDs end up completely unemployed or in low-paying postdoc training positions, which the government does not count as employment. 60% of ALL PhDs end up unemployed or in low-paying postdoc positions.
Some of the dumbest people in society are PhDs.
"Some of the dumbest people, etc etc."
Arent you just a little embarrassed to be echoing one of the silliest cliches in the language? None of the smartest people resort to tired hollow chants like that. Some of those "dummies" have also come up under hard circumstances, overcome poverty and disabilities and served in military in time of war. Flat thinking of Flatlanders grasping at straws.

MAGA!
Promises made promises kept.
Great analogy! Simple enough that maybe even a regarded Trumpist might understand it.

Trump has a second self. It's not an anagram, though. David Dennison. That's Trump's "alter ego" that signs off on contracts with his hookers. David Dennison. Whenever you see a contract signed by David Dennison, you know some perversions are involved. And I'm talking creepy stuff, not your normal run-of-the-mill perversions.
In fact, government outlays are projected to increase as the population ages.
Were it not for that, projected GDP growth this year (1.4%, per Jerome Powell, compared to 2.8% in 2024) would be even smaller.
Separately, it is entirely possible that the U.S. economy will shrink under Trump, and that net jobs, which increased through every month of Biden's presidency, will decrease.

When you can't dispute facts, you make up a fantasy argument that you also can't back up. FYI, well educated lawyers are walloping Trump in courts on his executive orders at

Basically none of this is true. Unemployment for life science PhDs is like 1-2%. And these low-paying postdoc jobs still typically pay 60-70k/year with full benefits, 401k/403b match, etc. Some postdoc salaries at national labs are north of 100k. They’re still underpaid, but it’s definitely a real job. These positions are a required step on an academic career path, and of course the government absolutely counts them as full-time employment.

Tariffs won’t last. Trump wants these countries to make a deal. As soon as they come to the table to deal, a more favorable arrangement will be made for both parties.
People don’t get it. Trump just wants to force better trade deals. They’re acting like these tariffs are permanent.

Of course nothing Eddy posts is remotely accurate. He’s a moronic bigot living in his mom’s double wide after getting booted from the army for being an insufferable d*uche.
