isn't that rachel maddow, not chris hayes? is gaetz making a trans joke? i don't get it.
Some call her Richard Maddow. Some also say Mark Cuban has evolved into Rachel Maddow.
The hilarity is in the meme he shared. Maddow fake crying (2.7/10 acting btw) and revealing what she's crying about only to see the Elon temptation meme is fucking hiarious.

Tariffs themselves are a huge can of worms. I'd like if everyone were able to freely hop on a row boat and go from country to country and sell whatever the hell they want for whatever price they choose, the problem is this isn't what we have throughout the world. Other countries don't operate this way. A tariff war will incentivize U.S. manufacturing and eventually encourage people to buy domestic goods rather than send our money to other countries. The economy is going to remain where it is for another couple of years but the idea is that businesses will be far more inclined to put manufacturing on American soil rather than build overseas and have all our money go elsewhere. America will gain hundreds of billions of dollars from this rather quickly and the idea is to generate job growth and wealth through American manufacturing. Trump is playing the long game. This is how it's done. Printing money and pretending you don't see the economic wound long enough for inflation to skyrocket is not how you fix an economy.
Tariffs are a tax on incoming goods from another country. Who pays the tax? The businesses buying the goods. The businesses then increase prices to compensate for the money lost via the tax. Consumers then start to buy local products. Demand goes up for local products, so prices increase. And just like how prices never went down after the supply chain issues of covid, the prices won't go down from this if new jobs are made.
Tariffs are a horrible solution. Anyone that knows anything about economics will tell you this.

Anyone that knows anything about economics will also tell you that tariffs make up only a small fraction of an affected economy. You're not seeing the forest for the trees.
Trump has threatened China with a 40% tariff. The idea is not to implement a 40% tariff on China's cheap piles of shit goods, but to get them to back down on their currency manipulation. They don't have a capitalist system. You have to go balls to the walls with these people to get them to back down and the fact that China is entirely export means that they are at a massive negotiating disadvantage. Threaten them with a tariff war that they know they can't win in order to get them to back down on their currency manipulation. Now instead of a 30% tariff on their exported goods, get them to back down to 5 or 10%. Trump is playing the long game. The economy is going to remain fucked for another couple of years but the U.S. will gain hundreds of billions from this in the long term. It correlates with his goals to alleviate taxes on income.

It's a real long game. Trump ain't gonna live to see it. "The economy is going to remain fucked for another couple of years", I predict you're gonna keep saying that for your whole life.

biden managed an israel ceasefire minutes before the end of his presidency and it immediately blew apart. thank you trump.
All of these “ceasefires” and negotiations have been a complete joke. Netanyahu pounds Biden in the ass over and over. Biden is a disgraceful cowardly dementia ridden piece of shit and nobody is more responsible for Trump being president now.
