TACO in action again 🤔
Lula is awesome 👌
Syphillis will do that to you Shitmebritches!!!
So will frontal lobe dementia.
He’s got it. Too bad it’s so slow…
He has had it since he had that TV show. I don't know why anyone would follow a crazy person off a cliff and then vote for them. Oh right, it's a cult.
I am so stealing shitmebritches 😂
😂 get em!
We’re all watching the deck chairs get rearranged on the SS Trumpanic.
so bring him up on international human rights violations and arrest him
A international arrest warrant and freezing of all his international assets would do the trick. What’s left of his brain needs to be kept occupied and put in permanent defence mode.
Meidas Touch is 100% YouTube CLICKBAIT and nothing else.
Tariffs are the same as taxes. They are taxing everyone to offset the billionaire tax cuts.
The sadistic SOB seeking to punish others just for selfish thrills!
💪😂
Trump is a parasite and Lutnick is one of those bugs on the parasite.
(Orange) Nutlick(er).
Trump is an idiot and Lutnick is a moron.
I call him licknut.
Smart move by Trump. If everyone else hits themselves in the head, they'll get stupider. But he can hit himself in the head all day without doing any damage because he's already at maximum stupid. That's the Art of the Deal by a 4D chess master!
😂😂😂😂
🤔😆
Declare you’re eliminating waste, while you’re massively increasing it - and get the people cheering for their own demise while you’re at it. I need a resurgence of hope. This is ridiculous.
Amen.
@davidfrum.bsky.social scummy Republican speech writer and shamed Canadian keeps trying to clean up his image. @midastouchmedia.bsky.social please don’t give him time.
Yet the media plays it off as a way of Trump getting a better deal from countries, simplify BS and you are spot on
MSM is owned by the Oligarchy that wants to destroy our democracy.
There is no intelligence here. There is no logic. And yet Scotus, Congress and the Senate, are owned and therefore just do whatever he wants. Meanwhile jacked up billionaires want to make more money and will do it however they can. It’s so F up.
He owns them because he told them all, he saw their names on the Epstein list ..
Congress and Senate? Most likely. Both; Republicans and Democrats.
Headlines should read; Trump destroys the US b/c he and other entitled perverts are on list. Beyond deplorable. Also, Putin asked him too.
👍
It’s Black Bart taking himself hostage when he arrives in Rock Ridge but unironically.
Mutually Assured Destruction
If I had a hammer 🔨 I’d hammer my head…..
Yup. The ruling class here in USA is comprised of blithering idiots and grifters..
Some of Trump’s sizzling hot, “Art of the Deal,” deals = pathetic letters making absurd announcements to other countries that used to respect the U.S. bond market & once valued the dollar …
BINGO!!! That’s the best definition of tariffs I ever read!! tRump is such a f**king IDIOT! No WAY did that halfwit win the election!!
Anyone gonna call orange turd out in his statement that we’ve made 15 trillion so far from tariffs?
Fox will extoll it as a great achievement, 'better than anything we've ever seen before '.
Yeah, I want to see the ledgers
Best explanation ever.
Felon 34's an IDIOT.
Its an Illegal National sales tax, unapproved by anyone but the Mad King... and targeted at the Poor and middle class... you know that " Tax" cut the middle class got.. it will be drowned by the National sales tax bsky.app/profile/ogre...
as if the world cares about us anymore.
Lol
Exactly right.
What's horrible is that Epstein himself said that Trump doesn't understand cause and effect. Chaos and unnecessary destruction will continue until Trump is impeached or removed from power. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtNd...
David "Axis of Evil" Frum was a propagandist for George W. Bush's criminal war of aggression against the people of Iraq. He should be shunned by all decent people, and completely ignored.
8 year old grandson “That sounds painful!”
Unfortunately trump has no emotional intelligence whatsoever, his soul is a spoiled 2 year old that has never had to sit with a negative emotion or been given any boundaries. If he was 2 we could work with him but at 78 the horse has long since bolted!
Everything/100% of what this fascist dictatorship is doing involves planned erosion of the rights, wealth, power, & health of the general populace for the purpose of full subjugation by the planet’s most obscenely wealthy, evidenced by tariffs & the big orange pile of 💩 bill. #NQNQ247
📌
Saw that clip. Frum gives a perfect analogy. David Frum is one of the best socio-political-economic analysts ever.
Thats a great comparison!
Tariffs go into the treasury. How are we not talking about the possibility that the trump regime is using tarrifs as a way to steal wealth for themselves?
How are we not talking about a man who is known to extort people is likely using tariffs to extort other
What a mental lightweight analogy.
Shame 75 million Americans didn't Google this BEFORE the election.
Stupid shit! Right!? UNFIT! Invoke the 25th Amendment!!
Your country of all countries needs compulsory voting that may cut down on the far right far left stupidity the USA suffers from.
Excellent analogy trump still never gets it and tariffs are a tax on the American people as companies can’t absorb it so costs go up

Trump has been ranting about tariffs since the 80's. A man who stiffed paying anyone for any job. Now thinks he can threaten the world with numbers that will only hurt average Americans. Of course corporations are going to pass the cost on to the consumers.
the world has more intelligent leaders in every country except here. in the USA we have a fking moe-rahn
bsky.app/profile/free...
For someone who supposedly has a business degree, Trump has not the foggiest idea of how tariffs work. Quite simply, in deference to Trump, they are a tax on us, the people who buy the imported goods. Buying imports in a global economy is a fact of life, but Trump doesn’t seem to grasp this truth.
By far the best definition of a tariff I've ever seen.
Trump talent defined.
But, But, Professor Trump says that tariffs are a country's greatest weapons. He's right, that's why countries are so afraid to use them.
Is the easiest solution for ROW, sell to US if prices meet your requirements and if not, sell to each other? The USA deserves to be shunned, ROW shunning may help snap us out of this nightmare.
Economics for dummies🧌👍👍👍👍👍
Am I the only one that thought of this Monty Python skit when reading this ...
Thank you David Frum!...When you put it like that...
What nitwit would sign a trade deal with a republican, much less a con man? Reagan tromped all over treaties and trade agreements, as did H.W., Cheney, Bush and Trump.
All together now! Piii-eii esu dominae *loud head thump* Donna esu requiem *another loud thump*
It's similar to why former-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called #Trump "a #fuckingmoron" and why Kim Jong Un called him a "mentally deranged U.S. #dotard."
David - love his contextual illustrations
And Trump has convinced his less intelligent minions that it’s the foreign countries that pay the tariffs.
🎯
Exactly and all we other countries need to do is smirk and say ‘okay well you guys have our number if you want to order stuff from us 👋… Navarro is as stupid as a rock and stubborn and annoying as a haemorrhoid! Trump will through him under the bus eventually!
Trump’s holding a gun to his head and threatening to shoot the hostage.
We can’t get that lucky
I feel like you don't understand economics, tarrifs, or most importantly, the art of the deal!
I’ve not heard it summed up this well! 😎
We are talking about the brain dead grifter, are we not? He's never been successful at anything in his life. Bad business deals, bad marriages, bad offspring. Just bad in general. Why are we surprised that he keeps making the same blunder over and over? THAT IS WHAT STUPID PEOPLE DO! 💙
Actually, he has been successful making stupid people believe him because he believes his own lies. He has no moral compass&cannot be shamed like most people. His regime-mates are following him down the rabbit hole of crazy talk, but without him, they will flounder because some of them feel shame.
10/10 screenshot
That is awesome. Perfectly sums up the situation.
Apt conversation
I’m confused, I thought it was like kicking yourself in the balls.
😂😂. I needed to laugh, thanks!!
Brilliant description by Frum! There was a time when I never thought I would agree with him as he's always been right to my left - but since Trump it's about being the sane side together.
Same here. Never thought I'd agree with David Frum. 😲🤣
Two words: M A R K E T - M A N I P U L A T I O N Lock him up.
Canadian political cartoonist Bruce MacKinnon's analogy is the best.
Guess we are moving on from Medicaid cuts to tariffs now. So predictable.
Brilliant
Best analogy yet 👌🏻
Funny, but so very true - in the very same breath this stupid man is telling his base that the world is dropping down at his feet to do deals - This is false, there isn't a single country that is interested in making NEW deals with America with his outrageous tariffs -
What he does best, lie. Not much else.
Best description of tariffs I’ve read so far.
How. Did. We. Get. Here?!?!? We are so off the rails, it’s UNBELIEVABLE.
And he's doing this again because they had the BRICS conference and BRICS ignored him and they will continue to ignore him I noticing a Trend ( G7 Summit went on without him) other countries are starting to Align themselves with each other for Trade and other things America will be isolated soon
Europe want to go green. Trump wants to pump oil. China has green tech. Who does Europe trade with?
China, Australia, South Africa, France
Who is that twit?
I know this SOB thinks he’s a bloody genius and he doesn’t even know how tariffs work.
Whatever tRump says their tariff is we the consumers are going to pay it anyway.
I love David Frum. He’s so succinct and brilliant.
you need to learn more about him, this guy's a canadian fucking meathead and GW bush's speech writer who helped lie you into two wars
People can change.
that's a really stupid position to take with politicians and their parasites.
I still find him really pretty gross, though I will definitely not be mean if we disagree about him.
Mr. Frum is so close to being 'frump' ... that's funny a cause it's a play on his last name ... 😆
AHahaha... Poor pussy.. 😄
Hilarious!!!!
Why can't prez dumpy understand that? He is the dumbest person on the planet. And he's our prez. How sad for us.
Oh I love Republican remorse
Isn't this the definition of insanity? He keeps doing the same as he did last term and expects a different outcome!! What a stupid putz!!!
Trump to world: We will not stop hitting ourselves in the head unless you all agree to hit yourselves in the head. World to Trump: No thanks, we will just watch you continue hitting yourself in the head.
Democrats seized on the delay and the unpredictability, with Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego asking, “If you own a business why would you invest in America with this kind of uncertainty?” #Tariffs
Thank you David Frum for that perfect analogy! I don't know if Maga doesn't get it or they just don't want to but this is the best way to explain it to them
Trump thinks he can McKinley his way out. Take us back to 1890, but bring back technology?......fuggin maroon.
Stop holding up ghouls like Frum For fucks sake, he is exactly the words they studied to get us where we are today Stop promoting him, he is as trustable as a Trumpkin
Oh, thank the goddesses that I’m not the only one who finds Frum intolerable.
This is just gut-churning. How much more irreversible damage is this GOP just going to preside over as Trump destroys long-standing relationships world-wide?
That’s about right.
Art of the deal.
Screw David Frum!! 🖕 Frum stated, upon Mamdani's primary win, "Well, at least we can retire that faded and false line, 'antisemitism has no place in New York City.', despite Mamdani's condemnation of antisemitism and his efforts to engage with Jewish New Yorkers.
That’s pretty funny. 😄
@halsparks.com
Ouch!😣
Six months ago I wrote something similar to this on Twitter and copped a ban for promoting self harm 😂
Frum has a way with words.. 😄 👍 Sooo good!
Unfortunately, his best-known words are “axis of evil” :(
And it is worse when implemented by traitors.
a cop in pursuit of a fleeing suspect "STOP or i'll shoot MYSELF"
No, what a tariff is, is a way for TACO to make some money on Wall Street.
This cartoon makes me so angry, because it’s so true! 🤦♀️🫣
I know! 😡🤬
This says it perfectly.
My own head is starting to hurt.
It's basic! I even understand that.
Why can’t it just cease to exist?!? Why? Why?
LMAO
The smart we the people need Congress to do their job and stop tariffs already
Uh…yeah…we are talking about trump. The stupidest person on the planet. This is right on brand.
In Trump's world, it's great to hit ourselves in the head, especially if it triggers a recession > rate cut > stimulus. -- A businessman, once never said.
🤣
It s/b noted that Japan/US have a trade agmt (Jan 2020) that eliminated tariffs on ~90% of US food & ag products. They’re either duty free or get preferred treatment. US made cars only have a 5% tariff. But yah, slap 25% on everything in retaliation - that’ll make them do better.
Trump is a moron
If it wasn't so damaging to our country, this would be Hilarious!
Tariffs. Are. Bad.
What amazes me is the ignorance of the Press Corp. Or is it cowardice to confront Trump on the tariffs and that it's not the Country paying, but the manufacturer and ultimately the American buyer? His letters are laughable. The other Countries must be laughing at his stupidity and the US ignorance.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Jeebs, Frum sucks…he’s very intelligent but sucks none the less. I can’t with him at all anymore. Smh
A tariff is a double tax on Americans. People that make less than 51k are paying more taxes and on top of it, they're paying taxes on imports.
And now com the 200%tariffs on pharmaceuticals!! Can’t wait to see how expensive my medications will be!
He has a very infantile view of tariffs. He wants to look like a tough guy, but ends up looking like an idiot. Embarrassing.
He is an idiot.
MAGAts think reality tv is REAL, not scripted. They believe the scripted scenes, it’s just unbelievable
America's sanctions on America will continue until America yields to America's demands.
For MAGGATS, that is a feature, not a bug.
When you have no talent and don’t want to work hard it’s easier to destroy and blame others for gains. Trump can’t compete w/specialists and experts. ‘No one knows more than I do.’ He can only con his way up, corrupting all in his path. Trump destroys everything for power and $$$$.
Finally, an accurate metaphor. Frum never disappoints.
So fu%king stupid. Wtf. I don't need a stress ball. I need a f****** stress bat
What can I say?
🤣
This. I can't believe there's no one in his inner circle tapping him on the shoulder, saying "you're doing it wrong"
Nobody asks the true purpose of tariffs in that light then. It's an instrument they can use to skim incredible amounts of money from, who's tracking it? similar smokescreen for the price of brick and mortar prison, they give us a tent on swamp land, nobody thinks about that, we are truly stupid ppl
Countries should mark “Return to Sender” on the envelopes and send them back via slow boat/mule train. Lol.
Yes!
Mr. Axis Of Evil
Why did the moron hit himself in the head ? Because it felt so good when he stopped
Life under maga.
The orange crazy man thinks he's still on a reality show called American Apprentice and HE'S the Star.
It’s always about optics!!
BIG ratings! BIG crowds! The BIGGEST of ALL TIME.
He really is gone mentally. We are actually witnessing elder abuse by Miller, Bannon and the Nazi Evangelicals for their own evil and sadistic purposes.
Really starting to think Heritage House wants to end the world so they can ascend to heaven faster. Read a story about 6 red cows sent to Jerusalem from Texas. These religious fanatics are getting scarier.
Hitting all 4.
I've thought that as well. This cult is that crazy.
Yup. I see the parallels from that show & have posted about it. I only saw season 1 & some of season 2, once, yrs ago on regular TV. (there wasn't much else to choose from). He's still acting like he's on the show. It's also a really dangerous path 4 us to be on...
Especially since his brain is shrinking, what little bit of brain he had. El Loco!
Trump plays the demented poopy pants leader of a country ruined by libruls. That's my take so far.
Please world, don’t do it. It has cost us everything. #CravenClowns #Greed&Corruption
We’re going to hit OUR PEOPLE in the head while we enrich ourselves off big immigration.
I heard a great example from history of how a tariff can be a good thing: post-ww2 Germany and Japan started making cars that were cheaper and higher quality than US cars. To protect US car mfg, a tariff was placed on cars from those countries to the US. A tariff only works if we already have
cont. a strong domestic industry for a given product. What Trump is doing to placing the cart before the horse, we don't have much of the industry that a tariff would protect. All it does is increase prices for everyday goods.
Perfect analogy.
i dunno… maybe a thump on the head would push some sense into the mango mofo. nah “Frum: What a tariff is, is the equivalent of hitting yourself in the head. And saying to the world: “We will not stop hitting ourselves in the head unless you all agree to hit yourselves in the head.””
This is said at the most basic level, which should resonate with the MAGA crowd
I get tired of people pretending he didn't purposely use tariffs to hurt the American citizens economy. There was never an intention to improve trade. Look at the bill they signed it was designed to hurt American citizens. Dictatorships do this to make citizen have to rely on them more.
imagine posting david frum tho
Does Trump really not understand this? It seems incomprehensible that he still thinks that the money is coming from China. It just seems like the chaos is meant to keep us on our back foot.
Even if he knows he’s wrong, he’ll never admit it. The word “con” is short for “confidence” and admitting fault runs contrary to a con’s MO.
It can also be short for convict, another thing he is.
💯 Felon 34.
You’re right. I meant the “con” in “con man”, as in the practitioner of confidence fraud. I should have been more specific. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scam?wp...
When Maria Bartiromo was interviewing Trump last week, she kept bringing up tariffs, and couldn't get an answer that made sense, so she'd ask again, in a different way, but she still couldn't understand what Trump was explaining. Because his explanation MADE NO SENSE! 😆
Navarro is one of the few economists in the US who understands the urgent need to address the US's destructive trade deficit. Frum, like many others, is a dogmatist unwilling to change his mental map for the now very visible reality.
Lmao wow, what a dumb take. Navarro is an absolute pile of dogshxt who faked an entire person to try and sell his bad ideas as worthwhile. You being dumb enough to think he's some rogue genius just shows that people also shouldn't listen to you about the economy, either. Tariffs are a tax on *us*.
And what 'very visible reality' is some random yahoo on the internet seeing, that actual trained economists aren't able to see? You mean to say that you're a fool who believes foolish things and somehow can't see the direct result of these foolish ideas is that our economy is garbage now. Sure.
I want to laugh but this ceases to be ffffffing funny!
The problem is Trump can hit himself in the head all day and not feel anything since it's completely empty.
It's the Homer Simpson Level-the-Playing-Field Plan (HSLPFP).
😂😂😂 Very good, @davidfrum.bsky.social!
Who really benefits? Someone must. Everything is a transaction. Maybe weakening us for Putin?
Sounds about right. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, by far.
🤪🤡💩🤪🤣
I ask you, what did Lincoln bother saving the union for? The north should have moved forward without slavery and supported the Underground Railroad and the establishment of new free communities and eventually the south would have collapsed under the weight of its own immorality and criminality.
Is it too late to do that now?
BE MORE CONCERNED about the #USA announcement that US multinationals will NO LONGER PAY THE #OECP #Pillar2 agreed-upon #MinimumTax www.oecd.org/en/topics/su...
WISE UP ‘Punative’ is BS: these taxes are the very basis of being able to Maintain things like #NATO or the #Baltics or #FiveEyes upping to a necessary #5%GDP #DefenceSpending against #BRICS www.oecd.org/content/dam/...
WE'LL TAX OURSELVES UNTIL YOU START TAXING YOURSELVES! 🤡
😂😂😂 yes. typical TTW logic!! #TACO2WK
Love Frum
🤣🤣🤣
