He only (publicly) disagrees with the economists and everyone else who tells the truth about tariffs because they are debunking his lies and challenging his authority. His narcissism can’t stand that happening.

I am almost in the market for a new computer. In Mexico, we pay a flat VAT of 16% of anything not made in Mexico. For that amount it is better for me to buy in the US and pay the VAT and not have to worry about hidden idioma (language) in the brains and I'll be able to fix it.
Damn, Trump is a stupid man.
With your platform & followers could you organize civil disobedience, general strikes, demonstrations, boycotts, so we band together rather than just rant on BSky?
I just finished watching this and I got angier than I thought I would. My mental capacity for his nonsense is at an all-time low.
Lol he can’t guarantee anything?? Didn’t the man say eggs would be back down to $2 once he’s elected?? Also, for a “businessman”, he sure acts awful clueless on what tariffs actually do and who will pay for it in the end.
He knows what's tariffs do. He's gas lighting his minions.
What would it take to recall a President?
I'm past that. At this point I just hope they get what they voted for.
Me too
And STILL doesn’t believe he lost
He doesn’t believe facts and can’t guarantee anything, but millions of people voted for him. What exactly were they voting for?
He looks tired. lol
He'll blame the dems and anyone else for his failed tariffs program. He will NEVER accept responsibility for it. NEVER.
I know you didn’t think he’d be rational all of a sudden. He’s beyond a megalomaniac.
In his defense, he isn’t smart.
You are surprised the man who has taken no responsibility for anything his entire life will take no responsibity for the economy cratering? Interesting.
it’s quite weird to me that people are framing his actions as though he’s just naively not understanding how things work, rather than that he’s very deliberately fucking everything up for his boss Vlad.
I just wonder what he's getting out of a deal with Putin. It doesn't seem to follow any logic, I think the simplest answer is that he's an idiot, he has no clue what he's doing and is just spitting buzzwords to gain power.
he’s staying out of jail and out of financial trouble, simple as that, Putin helped him with both.
Sounds like a Broadway musical: I Can’t Guarantee Tomorrow 😂
That’s how tariffs work Trump. What a dumbass
That's WHO Trump is! When has he EVER admitted he was WRONG about ANYTHING? NEVER!
He likes to think that tariffs are like blackmail, and they will pay him a large backhander to drop the tariff. That's the mob boss in him.
This guy is a joke and the world is laughing at us.
Ya can't fix STUPID
Maybe it’s just me but a person who doesn’t understand the definition of a “Tariff“ might not be qualified to be POTUS again
👇 He should have been fired on the spot when he said it for the 1st time.🔥
Wanna bet he will not impose them? He just threatens
I can’t even get myself to hit the play button nor will I give these two my time
And those who voted for him seem not to understand or care. They will find a way to blame us who were not fooled by the grifter
I watched cbs Sunday morning and they had a segment on explaining tariffs and how they work. Was done like explaining it to Jr high kids...and subtle dig to trump
He always wins with lies.
MORON! CONVICT!
Why are people so enthusiastic about someone whose approach to geopolitical strategy and national development is "I think so"?
I can’t guarantee anything. Typical trump 🐂💩
Locked and loaded for who? The people who are mostly going to suffer from this were pretty evenly split between Harris and Trump.
Revenge for Trump acts as a stimulant. Outside of that, the old clown is showing his age and possible dementia.
True!
Planning on buying a bunch of chickens in the spring and advertising all over my town “FREE EGGS FOR ANYONE WHO DIDNT VOTE FOR TRUMP”
That’s brilliant!
Good plan! 👍
I bet the cult won’t blame him. My research tells me that at least 30% of his supporters fit the definition. If he tells them to blame Santa then they will.
He recently just said “I can’t guarantee they won’t raise prices” It’s quite the shift from his pre election certainty.
He knows. He doesn’t care. He is not here to help Americans.
That’s the problem with so many voters - voting for their enemy to spite their imperfect friend. They know that trump won’t give them anything, therefore they’ll be grateful for a few crumbs. They expected the whole cake from Biden/Harris and are furious that they only got 90% of the cake.
I think that is part of it. I think the greater part is the information silos. The right really have a hold on information and framing in their ecosystem. It it fully built and subsidized by quite a few billionaires (mostly foreign) who just want a piece of taxpayer pie. The left has work to do.
That’s so true. The right have unethical ways of trying to target people’s fears
Here to only help himself
He’ll publicly announce a tariff He’ll then make a “perfect call” Tariff will go away This is why he won’t let it go. He’s figured out a way to extort companies.
Willfully ignorant
Reminds me of when he said "It is what it is" as hundreds of thousands of Americans died during Covid. This fuck. Still find it hard to believe America chose him.
It is still “during Covid”. bsky.app/profile/luck...
The “journalist” helped trump get elected.
I think he 100% knows how tariffs work and I also think he knows his cult following has to be told these lies repeatedly to keep believing. It works for most cult leaders
Americans and American businesses will rue the day they voted for this monster. He doesn't care one whit about you. Tariffs is just the opening salvo.
My understanding and patience are gone. I don’t want to hear anyone complaining about prices, living standards or shit for the next 4 years. I don’t want to hear it from either side.
🤡
The key point here is that tRump said he couldn’t guarantee anything, like all those campaign promises.
He’s just a shithead who belongs in a shithole… and who is going to turn our country into a shithole.
Exactly! You can 't get a Filet Mignon from a pile of 💩
I told you so, won't fucking matter to Trump he lives in his own dimension, oh I mean dementia.
Hey - tomorrow here 👋 I will be 💯 % be here as usual and am offering great odds on the the day after tomorrow too
Blatant INSANITY!
The technical term is dumbass
Right there with you!
We will have to subsidize our farmers. AGAIN. So dumb fuc can have he’s revenge.
Soooo… unless the world ends tomorrow, Americans will be f’d over bc trump thinks a tariff is paid by foreign nations.
I call BS on this. He knows exactly what tariffs do and how they work. He (and his entire crew) knows what is about to hit the real people. The 'show' is so the rats won't abandon the ship too early. As long as one idiot still supports this shit show, that list of criminals will get their money.
I’m hoping he realizes that he got his prize (no jail) and retires to the golf course for the next four years leaving us the hell alone. Is that wishful thinking?
Only downside to this is the people he appointed that would be running stuff. The damage was done once he was elected.
They are a detriment to America.
Omg. Get him off our platform. Our eyes! They're hurting! 👀 👁 😵 🥴
Quiet as it is, the groceries are already going up. It's crazy to watch it in real time.
He’s not going to actually use the tariffs. He’s going to do shitall and when prices go down organically as inflation goes down, he’ll take credit by saying his threats scared them to lower costs…
If he were smart he might do that, but there will have to be a great deal of theater and posturing around the excuses he makes and the blame he throws about for not doing what he said and putting tariffs in place. The sheeple will bleat out their mindless agreement
what i hear " i'm a dipshit, im lying, i dont care, i think i get to keep the tariff money for myself"
The bigger the I told you so, the better. Trump Cultists don't learn from anything other than direct personal harm. So stand aside and let the full effects of his failures hit them squarely and frequently.
She is too nice yet so over qualified. The square peg/round hole always turned me off. I get it, but she is not the right fit. Sorry, not sorry.
Another 4 years of people interviewing him and letting him simply lie, lie, lie
Until he stops doing interviews! He has done that before too!
I can guarantee that Trump is a fucking idiot.
He said he doesn't believe consumers ultimately pay for tariffs... That will be good enough for his supporters.
They’ll be told to blame the dems and believe it.
Why, how do people believe this disgusting liar?
He is doing the same crap! Waste of an American president
I was educated in Canada and I was taught how tariffs work in fifth grade. Remind me NEVER to send my kids to Wharton.
If this asswipe won’t do live interviews they’re worthless
He is about as dumb as a turd and cagier than a wolf
You can “I told you so” all you want, but the MAGA cult will try and convince everyone that it’s a good thing. And MSM will normalize it.
Trump doesn’t need truth. He needs to believe he can whip up Green Grass & High Tides Forever. He thinks there’s a way to live on other people’s money, because he spent his life inside a bubble, where you actually can do that, if you try. Trump thinks the whole world’s New York City. It ain’t.
Anyone watching his one debate with Kamala saw DJT as an impulsive child easily triggered. Legacy Media controlled by a few Nazi American Oligarch's enabled this monster DJT.
DJT is a psychiatrically disordered DANGEROUS CULT leader who will serve ONLY himself while enriching progeny & others! Profoundly UNFIT Sister WARNED; niece WARNED; psychiatrists WARNED! Defined: discoverymood.com/blog/reactiv... Be WE people at local level to assist disenfranchised.
He’s delusional
This is going to hurt so many companies, so many workers, so many families.
Really might consider buying any imports like computers or electronics now instead of next year
If he was in a sweaty-redneck filled arena he’d be guaranteeing EVERYTHING. Congratulations Bubba, Darla, and Dewey: you are the mark.
"I take no responsibility" and MAGA will somehow make it Joe's fault, or anyone non-MAGA
Didn't I read that he actually admitted that he "can't guarantee" prices might not go up? Of course he would never have said that 5 weeks ago!
Yup, half the county f-d around, and now their about to find out. Sadly we must join them while they get edumacated.
He’s so totally clueless. He has the eyes of a pathological liar who’s never told the truth about anything in his life unless it favors him to do so.
Noticed his eyes also. Kinda disturbing to he honest.
Isn’t that the truth. You see it in his beady eyes.
Beady eyes! Yes! Like cold little marbles that glaze over when he lies. Which is pretty much constant.
He's also on drugs.
He's a dumb phuck
This CONVICTED CRIMINAL is NOT a 'businessman' but rather a misogynistic narcissistic psychotic reality game show cluster fu*k who loved playing a president rather than BEING ONE and who's addicted to power and money period end of sentence full stop.!
He will just blame Joe Biden and his people will believe him.
Is it my imagination or does Trump look like he is low energy and just blah, no spank? Great choice America.
It was also granted an opportunity in this interview for the appearance of appeasing to unity and shot it down blatantly
Man, on the purely surface side of things, this man looks rough. Particularly as he won a major election and has more or less gotten off Scott free with his legal cases.
He’s just so dumb. And that’s the nicest thing I can say about him.
Don't be nice. He doesn't deserve nice
I don’t think he refused to understand it. I think he’s very aware of how it works and what he’s doing. He’s manipulating everyone else that doesn’t know better 🤦🏼♀️
I stopped watching this show, and all corporate owned news media. They normalize the orange turd and helped him win. And their corporate owners donated to/supported him. I’m boycotting all major network news media. PBS, BBC, and MeidasTouch!
I'm so glad to read that I'm not the only person doing this! I started doing exactly this when the MSM did their hatchet job on President Biden. I haven't looked back! It's been great!!! I wish SO many more people would do just this!
They say CNN’s viewership has fallen quite a bit. Looking for the rest to fall. Sad that it’s not like it was in the Walter Cronkite days!
I hate that orange zit, and I also hate that snake, Kristen Welker. She bends the knee to that fool, and she never had the opportunity to tell him off nor fight against him with facts.
He will have to be shown
And he’ll repeat his ignorance until it becomes truth to millions. And the media won’t, directly correct him, ask him to explain HOW his ideas would work, or simply call him what he is - STUPID.
"I don't believe it." Before this part he said consumers don't pay for tariffs.
I fucken dumb moron
He's an ignorant idiot.
Oh, yeah, I've got all mine ready to go.
I have a few weeks to buy a much needed car & notebook that I have been putting off. Prices will rise an average 25%. You think it's bad now. Wait.
The media is missing a valuable piece of information. Look at the attached. I have to go this far, the media doesn't. They think a tariff is free money to them. We pay for it. I call it a tax, but it's not listed that way. Notice the attachment. The total of all the others less than the tariff
He knows we will pay the price. He doesn’t care who pays the price. He just wants more money in our coffers so there’s more money to give to his wealthy friends in the way of tax cuts.
What a waste of a human being and on January 20th this disgusting individual will be President. What an embarrassment
The old 'I can't guarantee tomorrow' trope. Him and his followers are just a bunch of sayings that mean NOTHING.
That's what happens when you put a narcissist into office.
Take pictures of your egg prices now, so that we can compare in three months.
Also, why do none of the interviewers ask him to make some sort of sense. He would be chewed up and spat out by any one of the political interviewers we have on mainstream UK TV on a Sunday Morning. They go after every word like a terrier down a rat hole.
Please, someone from the UK media invite him to do an interview on one of those shows!! I’d pay to watch it. I refuse to watch him on TV here. He sickens me.
He wouldn’t last five minutes. UK politicians just hunker down and try not to give anything away. But they’ve had practice in saying nothing but using lots of words. But, really why didn’t she ask him to clarify or pick him up on his rambling. He was just saying strings of unconnected words
I didn’t watch it; I’m only hearing about it now. She’s an awful interviewer and throws ineffective punches. So, that on top of who she interviewed, I decided I had more important things to do.
Please guarantee tomorrow. At least a tomorrow where the US isn’t a fascist dictatorship helping Putin nuke Europe
Trump casually fucking the USA because half the people didn't want him. But hes not a narcissist...
The man is a bought puppet. And a moron.
Why are y'all interviewing the fool ?
But over on twitter the cult is claim the media is part of the deep state and are lying and that Tariffs are good
He looks awful. Not that he ever looks good, but he just looks exhausted.
Good, let's have more of this.
Yes, please!
Look at him wow what a creepy incoming president. He looks and talks angry, I think so anyways.
He knows how tariffs work. That is the problem. He knows he can only give his bazillionaire buddies their massive tax break extension by laundering lowly Joe-Six-Pack's taxpayer money through those foreign companies... He knows. He just doesn't want to reveal this to all his little sheeple.
We’ll see. Trump uses tariffs as negotiating leverage. He is always negotiating. His book “the art of the deal“ explains it pretty well. I don’t expect Trump to do anything that will tank the economy, but we’ll see. Keep your ”I told you so” powder dry just in case.
In 2016 the mood in Canada was thoroughly FO, in 2024 it’s very much Find Out. It’s going to be scorched earth on both sides of the border and it’s for literally no reason.
I don't understand why we even bother paying attention to this garbage news. Trump wants the attention! He's a fucking reality TV impersonator, president. He doesn't care about fellow Americans. Look who he hangs out with? Look at his unqualified henchmen, & Putin. Trump doesn't know human lives.
It's the ultimate reality tv.
Here's my question, though. What the F is physically wrong with Trump that any chair he sits in, he looks he's all by himself on a toilet straining at stool? Other people don't look like that just because they are sitting in a chair.
Probably his man girdle.
It’s his fucking diapers
He’s so stupid he can’t even sit right
His posture is crap. That happens when people don't strength train and eat a lot of fast food.
He's unhealthy AF. He is straining just to keep himself upright.
I can't stand him. Such an arrogant ass hole
Please. Stop trying to talk to him as if he were competent enough to care. Bring on the tariffs. Just have him wait long enough that it is clear that he once again inherited a great economy moving in the right direction and then tanked it.
Exactly why we all need to take notes on January 19th. Not that his cult members will ever believe the facts, but we will.
He isn't very smart. He thrives as a snake oil salesman.
Coming soon to the people who didn’t bother to vote…or the people who voted wrong… #WeTriedToWarnYou
MAGA are living in a perpetual state of teen mentality and maturity. They refuse to learn from others. They believe they have to experience something first hand. But they only become teachable if they do. And even then they have limited comprehension.
Once p25 is implemented, every part of the federal government that has anything to do with economics is going to be under executive control. They will have that, and Fox News to push his propaganda anyway. That's why he's so pig headed now
f this mother-f-er moron felon
People will see prices shoot up, Trump will deny it has anything to do with his tariffs, people won’t be able to afford to buy eggs, he’ll tell his followers to eat grass instead, and they’ll all claim that grass is delicious! It’s a cult!
I always say if Trump told his cult to eat shit they run out of gold-plated spoons in the Trump store in a matter of minutes.
Oh Lord, I hadn't thought of a Trump store but he has enough products to fill a store
He will allow no grift to go ungrifted.
Told you I did. Reckless is he. Now, matters are worse.
FAFO. But we all have to FO and that’s the worst part.
He is easily the dumbest person on the planet!
“I can’t guarantee everything. I can’t guarantee tomorrow” Didn’t you campaign on “I can fix it!” His dumb ass base: “He’s right again! He can’t guarantee anything!”
He is an dangerous moron
He should do what he does with the business ventures that didn't tank for him. Let it do its thing and STFU
And by that let bidens administration's policies stay in place
Of course he doesn’t understand…he’s stupid. What does that say about 71 million Americans?
The tariffs are but one of many planned extortion schemes. Watch his bank accounts.
Exactly. Transactional
His poor brain can't seem to process the information on how tariffs work. Maybe his lack of understanding about how things work is one reason he's had 6 bankruptcies.
I can't guarantee anything is his way of saying he won't take responsibility for anything he does.
Any bsky accounts that post MAGAts FO what they are actually getting from 🍊💩? I’d like to follow as it would go a long way to lifting the depression I’ve been feeling since the election!
Trump Doesn’t care how Tarrifs Will Impact the Working Class Trump KNOWS Corporate America and the Wealthy WILL Profit because the Tarrifs ARE a Smokescreen to Price Gouge America
I think he knows how they work and has easy access to the bank accounts they get deposited to. No one is so dumb they can't understand who pays tariffs.
Just a reminder for everyone screaming and kicking about tariffs. Biden kept Trump's tariffs and added to them significantly.
Tariffs are rightly used to protect fledgling domestic businesses from being shuttered due to overseas competition. Tariffs on all goods from countries set at a high percentage, especially on bordering nations, are not strategic to protecting US trade and products from new businesses.
That first paragraph is key, yes. I agree. Regarding the 2nd paragraph, some of that is posturing, negotiating. Let's see what happens there since we can't control it anyway. People freak out way too much about that stuff.
As you say, we'll see, but it isn't inaccurate to forsee rising prices on fresh winter produce and autos from Mexico, lumber, minerals, cement, and oil from Canada. Large impact to US citizens with no forethought or strategy.
Thinking about all this more... I think this effort will fail due to automation and AI, and I'm also aware that no one has answers for that... Universal basic income has been suggested. And then people just lay around for those 40h/week? I don't know.
That's not what happens. bsky.app/profile/scot...
Ah, but maybe there's foresight. That's where the notion of bringing jobs back comes from. Protectionism, which helped out economy grow in the 19th century, for "Import substitution (re)industrialization." I don't know if it'll work.
It'll likely work as well as the 2020 US response to the pandemic. Meager supply of PPE for domestic use, needed supplies traded away, or denied to some states, rampant disinformation, the readiness guidebook thrown out, undermining of the CDC and expert knowledge, chaos, and division.
Well, the difference here is the vision... Short-term reindustrialization vs long-term. It certainly won't be a smooth process in that it necessarily requires inflation to occur again.
Except he didn't refuse it... Less coffee
www.reuters.com/markets/us-f...
Narcissism vs reality
Yet he’s been guaranteeing his minions everything.
No care, no promise, A felon’s path to power, America breaks.
I love that his followers just saw him say he can’t guarantee anything…. Their great hope … womp womp
Further evidence Republicans are ignorant.
Whether Trump is wilfully ignorant or an absolute fucking morons, Americans will pay the price for his stupidity.
My “I told you so” sign has been ready for several weeks. Ready for action after 1-20-25.
WTF!! If you get charge more to make an item you raise your price to cover the cost!!!🙄🙄🤦🏼♀️
He doesn't care. He's a liar and convinced his voters he would make their lives better. He doesn't give a rat's ass about them.
And you fools voted for him?! Why would you vote for someone who has no idea what they’re doing?!
Because that’s how much they hate black women.
You can't tell him "I Told you so" you gotta get him to cop to it, he won't ever accept the words of people who aren't flattering him, unless he fears them (Like he clearly fears Putin)
What does he mean, "I don't believe that?" That is how they work, fool...
He’s DAF and doesn’t want to be bothered how they work cuz he simply doesn’t care. I’m sure he finds it all boring af. All he wants is the glory, power, money and to play golf. 🤮
The democrats lost to this dumb person. I’m going to leave out the mean words, and just focus on how incredibly dumb he is. He would probably not be able to graduate college in his own. And the democrats lost to this. Why? They refused to fight in the trenches, name call, talk shit.
That is the truth! He can use the Presidency to sell all his branded products. America is so effing dumb voting for this con man.
And let’s not forget the get out of jail free card he got.
That’s why Trump chose Musk.
Selective use of pardons or a reasonable uniform VAT (value added tax) would bring some manufacturing back to the US but Trump’s 100% tax on everything would weaken our economy & cause other world economies to flourish. When buyers can no longer afford to purchase sellers will seek new markets.
He's not refusing out of ignorance. He knows how it all works. But his supporters don't. And he refuses to acknowledge how they work because of his audience. Remember, Trump is a master manipulator of media.
He made all kinds of promises before 11/5.
He’s an absolute cockwomble of an intentional idiot.
The point is to implement a higher sales taxes and hide it in importa.
He doesn’t math well. Also I’m pretty sure he thinks if he fucks this up, he’ll just declare bankruptcy.
I think he believes most of the tariffs will never materialize…that his bullying will bring others to the table to negotiate. But something tells me that those he intends to bully, have ideas of their own.
That man couldn’t negotiate his way out of a wet paper bag.
So true! He’s such an idiot 😄
To our detriment.
People assume that the felon has America's best interest at heart. He doesn't
A crook and an idiot.
Yep. There’s a simple-as-f***k MAGA from this small Texas town where I lived for many years. Her comment on FB was some dumb a** retort…. “We just love him. He sometimes says brash things, but he just loves us…” I can’t get it out of my head. 🤬
Those dumbass trumpers are so ignorant that they don’t understand that Trump cares about Trump. He doesn’t give two shits about anyone else, especially his supporters.
I think it goes beyond that, he's sadistic so getting people to love him & then shafting them would be gleeful, and those that do not love him -forcing them to do what they don't want to do, say or be makes him feel powerful.
He said as much at one of his rallies. He said I don't care about you, I just want your vote.
awww snap and he told us only he can fix it. Just spitballing here but do ya think he was maybe- idk- lying? #fafo #ettd
HE. WANTS. TO. CRASH. THE. ECONOMY.
He also claims the Biden/Obama economy,sicko.
The whole time he was diddling around with banal generalities. Just so his psychophanticunt "team" can spin it any which way. Makes me sick yo think about the next 4 years, tbh.
Still an asshole. 😒
It’s sad that articles have to come out to diffuse all the lies and BS he comes up with.
I think he does know, he just doesn't care, at all about anyone below the 1%.
There's a reason he's bankrupted so many businesses. He thinks he's a smart businessman and it couldn't be further from the truth.
That guy is an idiot
I'm certain he has confused two different terms and their meanings. It's a definition problem. Elon should ask him how his tariffs work and explain what the word for that really is.
Why do they even try?
Where were these headlines before the election
They threw us under the bus
The *media* wanted the drama to save their dying industry that they couldn't figure out how to monetize in the era of the interwabbies.
@meidastouch.com
I can guarantee you will pay a hell of a lot more for everything.
I can guarantee you’re right
