I'm afraid some people will say that's just your opinion... The US really needs a department of education. With a bigger staff than they had before.
Of course you're right in the age of "alternative facts".
He just keeps repeating the lie so his base will believe it, the ol' Joseph Goebbels propaganda tactic. He's been doing it for almost a decade because he's proven it works on people less intelligent than he is...which isn't saying much.
I don't think anyone is capable of teaching him and/or he is incapable of learning. He misreads something and then hangs onto it like it's gospel.
Oh, come on, Donald. Even you aren't that stupid..
Well...
True.
Oh but he is
2018 Trump tarrifs raised cost of inflation via mortgages, insurance, cost of everyday goods. And that washing machine for example made in China. Before tarris $999 after Trump tarrifs? $1499. Everything went up. Who paid that $1499? Americans
Can't reason with a moron! Hes doesn't care who pays it!!
My company is literally having to raise consumer prices by 15% because of the tariffs. Buy you know, everything's fine.
Trump read this on Twitter, so it must be true.
He knows
Wow
Can't fix stupid.
This ignorant pos will NEVER admit that he's wrong about tariffs. He couldn't care less about their impact on American consumers and the economy.
OMG, he really is that dumb... We are in deep, deep shit...
Embarrassment isn’t a strong enough word
No matter how often this man is told the correct information, he chooses the lie. 😠
"I think they are"? The man is buffoon!
Why doesn't anyone push back and say 'it doesn't matter what you think, fact is fact The consumers pay for it, not the country tariff imposed.. so either you don't understand the tariff die to incompetence, you're lying or both.. which is it trump?' Come on journalists.. grow a spine!
Everything is about "access" now. They're not going to push back because, after what happened to AP and Reuters, they will be afraid that they will be banned and no longer have access. If this were World War II, our media would be interviewing Hitler. It's disgusting.
The country=the American people. MAGAs will believe they aren’t the country.
He’s so stupid it hurts.
Trump is so fucking stupid it’s sickening
I can’t with the stupid
Can you imagine what it must have been like for Trump's teachers? They must have pulled their hair out.
.
He was sent to military school after he punched his 2nd grade music teacher in the face. He’s always been a bully and thug.
That's a bit of a surprise, because he's known to be very cowardly. But I remember something about him being sent to a military school known for taking troubled boys. I remember seeing ads for the school in the Sunday Times many years ago.
That's very funny, and I really want it to be true, but do you have a source? 🙏
It was in one of his own books.
😮
He was bragging about how "tough" he was.
Cue the recession.
Fucking moron
What an evil moron!!
Reporter: The Earth is round. Trump: No, the Earth is flat.
Felon Trump does not think, that's the problem.
Fuck. How’d this happen?
Could you not have elected anyone that knew what tariffs were?
He lies and lies and gets away with it
Facts don't give a shit about your opinion, you orange goblin.
I don’t understand why he uses “orange face” when he clearly is whitest white.
And shouldn’t he be proud of his master race? Why do the nazis support an orange faced race traitor who wears makeup like a drag queen?
I was so naive that I thought some time in the not too distant future mankind would all be a pleasant shade of caramel. Maga won’t let that happen, now or ever.
Trouble is orange goblin doesn’t give a shit about your facts because his base loves “alternative facts”
The president of the United States is a low-IQ person with brain rot. He destroys everything he touches. He’ll be done away with by people from within.
The US population is ~ 370m, most of them dirt poor and getting poorer by the day. The global population is ~ 7.5b and getting richer by the day. If America wants it then pay for it, otherwise it goes to another customer. The selling price remains the same. Import tariffs are your problem.
And this, kiddies, explains why he filed bankruptcy six times, including twice for his casinos.
He thinks ?? 🤔 I'm not buying it. When I was 6-7yrs old, I "thought" my brother and I could dig our way to China. 🤷♀️
you clearly didn't try hard enough /j
I was 6. I didn't run for president and try to grift my way through. 👧🧑 *Now, at 60+ I'm kinda wishing I would have. 😂🤣
Well that solves it! We can all go home, nothing to worry about!
🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
OMG is he just lying or can't retain information?
He has the IQ of a doorknob.
That's insulting to doorknobs.
I agree! Sorry to doorknobs!
No, imho a doorknob has a higher IQ🤡 Day after day , this idiot spews lies threats misinformation, I keep waking up and hoping something has changed but, nope more insanity. 🇨🇦🍁
He is an ignoramus 💯 on American consumers
Trump thought wrong again.
The consensus among economists is that tariffs are not an effective tool for promoting economic growth & have significant negative consequences. - 50-100% of the tariff cost are passed on to consumers - Some manufacturers absorb part of the cost to remain competitive, reducing profit margins.
He knows that’s a lie. He’s using it to sew chaos and deflect from actual horrific things he’s doing to dismantle America.
He knows he’s lying. It’s plausible deniability.
Does he really, though? He's clearly taken a back seat to Musk regarding the presidency, something unimaginable the first time around. Whatever's eating his brain may be making him not think so good.
He’s been doing it his whole life 🤷🏻♀️
Doesn't necessarily mean that circumstances haven't changed
His stupidity hurts my brain.
What a stupid idiot.
He’s about to impose a 25% tax on his own people. I say…go ahead.
I’m not convinced that he actually thinks that, he just wants his supporters to believe that
Circuits not sparking.
Sweet weeping Jesus, take this guy to any receiving area of any American port, please.
Dementia Don
And the @kairyssdal.bsky.social seizure starts in 5....4....3....2....
Fuckin Clown
Stupid stupid little man !
problem is no one in the country has any money cause you greedy hogs have it all. so it falls to you to pay for the tariffs.
And the threat of tarrifs is the basic cause of inflation market uncertainty, and the expectation of interest rate rises.
He might be thinking tariffs are like walls.
Real question: Who does he think the "country" is?
He’s not dumb, he’s doing it on purpose. Nefarious. 😡
Ole dumb dumb just doesn’t get it 🙄
"SUCKER MC on the mic!"
All you posters who say "he's ignorant, he doesn't know" he absolutely knows how they work, his job is to mislead the gullible like you. seem's its working well.
Well, Felon, just cuz you “think” they are paid by the other country does not make it so. ( I avoided the word “true” as that is not in your vocabulary.)
Oh-I guess we’ll all be fine!!🙄
Why does no one on his STAFF correct him?
It is a test of loyalty. The poor sods will need serious help to recover from this trauma; for the first term more than thirty thousand lies were counted.
He doesn't give one flying fuck about inflation. He's never been grocery shopping his entire life.
He's a moron
What a stupid scumbag we elected. MAGA burn in hell.
I listened to Anthony Scaramucci talking about Trump and tariffs. He said the 🍊🤡 absolutely understands how they work and who ends up paying for them, but he’s happy to persist with the lie because it’s what his base wants to hear.
It’s his entire MO
Of course. That's why Republicans in general hate education. Especially higher education. Uneducated, uninformed, dull-witted people are a lot easier to persuade and control.
youtu.be/w_ZILddF4n4
Yeah…I don’t know if I believe this.
What don’t you believe?
That he knows how tariffs work. I don’t even know if he even cares.
He knows. He’s surrounded by people who have explained it to him, probably many times. He just chooses to lie about it.
Works out the same for us.
This is True!!! I also think that it’s OK to look at eclipses, Windmills cause Cancer, and Ukraine invaded Russia!!!
The Fraudulent Liar is so ignorant... What does it say about Americans who voted for this idiot.
How stupid is he??
www.fortmcmurraytoday.com/news/norther...
TOO MANY People-Are Guilty Of Normalizing #SEXOFFENDER #CONVICT #Trump. Trump Sexually Assaulted A Woman In A Public Place. NO DECENT PERSON Would Allow This Person Near Them Or Their Family. Trump Deserves Public SHAME and RIDICULE-For The Rest Of His Life! Quit Normalizing Trump's Behavior!
Is he really this stupid, or is he just counting on MAGAts being this stupid? The answer is C, both of those things.
Why would the wealthy support this? If we are thrown into another great depression, their businesses fail too.
Thank you. That’s the question I have.
We need to stop trying to make sense of the nonsensical. They know what they are doing is harmful to the American public, that is their goal. They are just trying to get their base to go along with it so they don’t team up with the “woke” and rebel.
youtu.be/w_ZILddF4n4
He is dumb as a fucking stump.
Dumber.
I think…
😵💫 Just because he said so 🤦🏻♂️
Imbecile says what?
His supporters actually believe this.
Well they’re in for a big surprise next week
No he won't. He has never kept his word. He is a war criminal.
🥳🥳🥳🥳 www.investopedia.com/terms/t/tari...
OMG is there no one around him that will correct this? What a putz.
How nice for him, to be able to straight-up lie ike that, knowing there'll be no consequences for him. Whoever asked the question will face consequences, sooner or later. Also, "we'll get into that later" = 'no, we won't'.
He just doesn’t get it, he is putting tariffs on imports. Economics 101, tariffs are paid by the importing companies, not the exporting country. Eventually the added cost of the imported goods is passed along to the consumers. Are we sure this guy is a businessman? I mean really!!!!
Trump is an Egomaniacal Imbecile. I wonder what he would be like if he had been born lower middle class. I do not comprehend how he won in 2016 or even got the Republican nomination.
Well, he DID bankrupt a casino, so there’s that 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Casinos make money regardless; he probably skimmed and stole so much he bankrupted his casinos.
*A* casino? "Although Trump has never filed for personal bankruptcy, hotels and casino businesses of his have declared bankruptcy **six** times between 1991 and 2009" He claims these were deliberate strategies to get rid of debt....
I recall he failed to repay a bank loan and claimed the bank should have known he could not. Conman alert.
Thought there was more than one, but wasn’t sure and too tired to check 😉 It’s Friday night here… !!
I read today that according to his military school his IQ is 75. 100 is average, 75 is intellectually challenged.
He doesn't think and should stop trying if this is the best he can do
Stubborn and stupid are a dangerous combination. Put that person in the most powerful position in the world and we are in for some serious pain.
He's a world class piece of work. Every word out of his mouth is a lie and his absolute ignorance is astounding.
The chance of a US Recession … 💯 Trump is hitting that dial hard #auspol
He doesn’t give a rat’s ASS, he couldn’t care less about ppl!
Once again- waste of time to talk to the corpse
I think he honestly believes that, and nobody has been brave enough to tell him otherwise.
Yes, he thinks foreign countries pay the USA $$ because of the Tariffs. It’s a real money maker. LoL
He is going to kill us all with his stupidity.
It's like he has tariff Tourettes. It just won't sink in.
This idiot wouldn't know if his arse was on fire
What an idiot My clients are anticipating raiding their pricing as tariffs are implemented Who does the really think is paying for them?
Uh huh, our country. What a dope!
Trump is clueless! Stop this embarrassing asshole now!
🥹
He is so stupid.
Who are you with???🤬😡
The Wharton School might want to take back his economics degree...unbelievable
He really is a moron
Remind me again…what school did this idiot go to? That “higher learning institution” should immediately be decertified and declared a farce, much like Trump U.
It’s at the point now where I give serious side-eye to anyone who says they graduated from Wharton
Maybe someone needs to draw him a picture of how tariffs work.
Facts don’t care about what you think Donny.
Is he that stupid, really?
This may be the Big Lie of 2025-2028. So long as his MAGAs will still parrot it, he'll insist that Canada, Mexico and China are paying the tariffs and the massive increase in consumer costs is because of Biden.
Yes
And people still voted for him to be Pres 🙄
trump is a certifiable lunatic
Wants us to have Russian level inflation…it’s all revenge
someone explain THIS to stupid TRY ?
He legitimately doesn’t know this. Insane.
Remember, one of the biggest Google searches around the election. What are tariffs?
Yupppp
Beyond me how this guy has stayed afloat this long. Ohh wait, how many bankruptcies?
I remember my first day.
He’s such an idiot.
For real!! I know 3rd graders smarter than him.
Anytime Trump speaks, this pops into my head.
You can't fix stupid
Tomorrow 2/28 by 12am!! One day Economic blackout for 24hrs Please plan accordingly and buy food, get gas, meds, clothes, gold, your yacht, even a heart, and throw in humanity, but just do it TODAY 🙏💙
🤪
Congrats, Republicans, you voted for a guy who doesn’t understand how taxes work.
This will never not be embarrassing for our entire country. Dumbest timeline ever.
Idiot
“I THINK they are paid for by the country”?? If you don’t know for certain, maybe don’t make decisions about using them.
Hahaha....Krasnov "thinks"
He's so f****** stupid he doesn't even know!
trump is wrong and unable to admit or realize he is wrong. he is willfully ignorant as well as monumentally incurious, and completely unfit to hold ANY public office anywhere!
First question "who are you with?".
Idiot.
Is he that fucking stupid
Yes
Liar.
Moron.
Fuckin' Royal Douchebag🍌
47 is the dumbest president in history 😡
He means the bribe he receives to overturn them is paid for by the country. Which is the whole corrupt point of his tariffs. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
How idiotic can you be if you believe this 💩 And the other countries will charge us more for their products...So we pay for the tariffs.
He's obviously lying. Trump just wants leverage over countries to strike a better deal trade deal. He could care less about the fallout on consumers in the meantime
More like better deals for his company.
Is it really lying if he's just that stupid and dementia addled?
Yes.
You can tell he's lying because his eyes are open
Tariffs are a tax on imported foreign goods + services. These taxes falls on the U.S. company doing the importing. If a company imports $100 worth of goods and tariffs are 20%, the U.S. company must pay a tax of $20 to the federal government then passing it on to the consumer in raised prices.
Of course, and the Black lady tried over and over to explain that, but they liked Trump's fantasy world.
Just another way to tax the poor and fund his tax cuts for the wealthy
Decades ago, tariffs were selectively applied to protect certain US industries from lower wage scales. Now, in a macro global economy - Americans depend on a variety of things no longer manufactured in the US; hence, Putin has pulled on his Puppet's strings to further fuckup American Democracy.
thanks for the info. normal people with brains who’ve been paying attention know this. it’s the mentally incapacitated dictator who doesn’t.
Yup, paid by the importer. Not the exporter, duh. That Wharton degree was not money well spent, whoever paid it. Wharton … should people pay to attend your school when you produce stupid graduates like this? Grads, ask for a refund lol
I guarantee he’s been informed that this is incorrect many times. He thinks if he repeats the lie, it’ll somehow magically become true.
Reality. Something Trump knows nought about.
I think ?
Thinking is an impossibility for Trump.
The Dunning-Kruger Administration ✔️
Drumphing-Krugerrand
The Dunning/Kruger administration of pimps and pedophiles.
Igmo = Ignorant Moron
I guess he’ll have to learn the hard way, unfortunately
Utter agnorance, ignorant and arrogant at the same time.
World Champion Dotard
He is such a stupid fuck. His only talent is as a con artist.
He's not even a good con artist, which is why it's amazing that so many still fall for it.
You may not think he's "good" at it, but he is quite successful at it. Even if you want to blame it on "a fool is born every minute", he is very good at knowing his marks. One childhood teacher said the only thing trump was good at was manipulation.
We are not an intelligent people, on average.
Can we get a reporter to ask “So after bankrupting 30 casinos, how do you plan to avoid bankrupting the United States?” Yes, 30 is not accurate. Turntables time.
tRump is wrong again. Slava Ukraine.
We are not stupid. I hate when the corrupt think you are stupid.
Whatta duhhh?
What if… what if he actually does? Could he possibly be that stupid? I know I should stop being surprised but…
Dumbest leader in the world.
He really is not a smart man.
He’s a lying sack of shit or a stupid idiot or both.
Facts aren't prefaced with 'I think'.
He knows. He’s just reiterating the lie for his base so they don’t turn on him.
Cowed feckless useless press. Consumers pay the tariffs. Repeat after me ... American consumers will pay the tariffs !!!!!
Follow up question: You're a real estate investor. When property taxes go up who pays for it? The renter or the investors?
No. No they are NOT. Ask Wal Mart.
And the press just nods in agreement . . . where is the pushback 😫
He’s really losing it. Just ran to stay out of jail
youtu.be/P43wDpKQxaM
Does he even know who writes the checks to pay the tariffs? Does he “think” Xi, Trudeau and Sheinbaum are signing the checks?
You can't fix stupid
Trmp isn’t stupid. But he got to this level in the game and he doesn’t wanna work this hard. He’s just coasting between golf games…
Jesusfuckingchristonastick
He’ll only ever believe it if he hears it on Faux News at least 3 times. And that will never happen. 😡
The felon could say "water is bad for you" and two things are immediately apparent: 1) his cult will immediately turn on water 2) he knows he's full of shit but it doesn't matter, see #1
He needs his cult to keep believing that lie, regardless of what the rising prices tell them.
And chicken nuggets come from cows. Everybody is saying it.
Only Devin Nunez Cow.
"I think".. oxymoronic statement.
Even though he can barely read, Trump knows more about everything than anyone.
He needs to be in a mental hospital
Clown
My brain cells are individually calling out for help right now. Desperate emergency help
And they say public schools are failing...what a moron
He’s so damn dumb.
He is an imbecile leading the country into economic disaster.
Fucking idiot.
