Don the John is IN CHARGE!!!

Those cheeseburdlers have been very disappointing to all, in their ongoing failure to do their job.

Your can help him along by doing more of whatever stresses him out the most.

and they likely won’t.

You mean the same Republican-dominated congress that has basically given him handjobs every time he breaks a fucking law and does something that is actually under the direction of congress? The same Republican-dominated congress that has essentially abdicated any responsibility to govern at all? I'm skeptical, but I hope you're right.

What a fucking asshole

For real, this is another mask-off moment. He had played up the tariffs as a game to push other countries around, but clearly and literally the only reason he is doing this is because he's pissed off at the Supreme Court. It has fuck-all to do with other countries because it's the same rate, worldwide, with no room for negotiations. He's supposed to be this great negotiator of trade deals with other countries, yet he's blowing up every single potential trade deal with a flat 15% worldwide because he's pissed off at people in his own government.

If people can't tell that he doesn't give a flying fuck about anything except pushing people around, doesn't matter who or about what, they're fucking idiots. He's just a cruel fucking asshole, like you said.

Where does the 150 days come from? FFS, we had nearly a full year before SCOTUS struck down the shit he started last year.

I think it's kind of Legal? Smoot -Hawley from 1934-ish was never taken off the books. I cant remember if that's the one he's using for this, but it's like that. There's a never-used vestigial law that lets him do up to 15% for 150 days.

As much of a known-destroyer of America he is, this is Congress failing to do it's bare minimum job of holding the purse strings. They could stop him tomorrow and we would be better off if everyone realized thst

Edit: this one isn't smoot-hawley (1930), sorry. Trade act of 1974. 15%, 150 days and a lot of exemptions under section 122. Congress should still do it job

This time is technically legal because of Hawley, but it should go back to when he started this dumb shit in the first place. We'll see if we can get a Federal Judge to smack this down in the next week.

All these companies collecting this money just need to fucking stop, and say "Fine then sue me" to the WH, but then of course we know they'll be flooded with ICE. Trump has a private army now that needs to be dealt with in order to stop all this shit.

He also needs that revenue to personally enrich himself from taxpayer money. He gave himself $10 billion of taxpayer money for creating his Board of "peace".

The population of the USA as of Feb 2026 is 342.3 million people. This means that trump personally took $29.21 from every single American living today (including newborn children and aging senior citizens) and put that money in his personal bank account.

Its things like this that I cannot understand how poverty stricken trump supporters are still okay with him and his actions.

It took them that long to explain to him that 15 was higher than 10

This is a baby tantrum, not senility.
