To be clear: 1. We’ve taken in roughly $150 billion in tariffs - nowhere near a single trillion, much less trillions. 2. Tariffs single-handedly saving our military — which has been the strongest in the world for decades — is the dumbest shit I’ve read today.
Republicans are idiots. Americans are not. @chriscillizza.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social
📌
Tariffs are also destroying one of the pillars of American power since WW2, and the general peace much of the world has enjoyed since. The US financial leadership of the post WW2 period has been FAR more important than the military power, and he has been hell bent on destroying that.
He is trying to control people with fear, but he doesn't get that no one is afraid of him.
Isn't Trump dead?
DJT hasn’t got any balls to go to Congress and get their votes for tariffs
47 is completely and totally unhinged, delusional and dangerous!! WTF!!! When is the GOP going to wake up??!!
didn't know the US military is so fragile. might not be something to announce to the world. not like US has a military budget that has had nps paying for 12 carrier groups and all other military expenses. didn't know we had to have these new tariffs for it or else. well, good for Trump to save us!
And just for context 150B is about 50% of NYS’s annual budget
We? youtu.be/YoiM-VP7wA4
And maybe don’t forget that the $150 billion came from Americans, not foreign companies.
NOW TEMU IS PAYING US, TO STAY SAFE FROM THE CCP!!! #SOMUCHWINNING SO SORRY TAIWAN
You don't have to say that here. All of us on this channel know Trump starts lying the moment he speaks.
Trump: Well that’s not true and any sane person would know that its not true!
Angry this does not seem like trumps writing... he uses a lower educational level to communicate. I could be off base... What's your thoughts?
King PEDOnald-the-Orange is such a sick, effing liar! A FAILURE in every respect. Hope his health is good enough to put him in the hospital.
Yeah if all that was happening he could pay our National Guard the money they need for being called to duty. What is their family supposed to do while he's or she is away picking up garbage and sweeping sidewalks. The family is missing four checks, and to top it off as it is they only get half.
Agree. But you spelled TAXES wrong. $150 billion in TAXES.
If his tariffs are determined illegal, all of it has to be refunded.
That’ll never happen. This WH knows how to grift. We’ll keep paying and they’ll keep taking.
There needs to be a “the more you know” type PSA that tells people how many billions are in a trillion. I think the public, by and large, really doesn’t know the difference.
1 million seconds is about 12 days. • 1 billion seconds is roughly 31 years. • 1 trillion seconds equals about 31,700 years
Part of it is probably because most people will never see a million of anything let alone billions or trillions. Hard to understand the difference when its completely unfathomable to a person.
Maybe we’ll learn once Weimar Republic style inflation kicks in? How many wheelbarrows of $10 bills does it take to buy a dozen eggs?
Most don't even realize that a billion is 1,000 millions.
Grampa is sundowning again
Ave Mariiiiiiaaaaaa..............
Can we do a class action against the govt to get our $$ back since the courts say it is illegal?
Looking forward to the day that I don’t say “what a f-king idiot”
Do you wonder if there will come a time when even these cravenly dishonest Republicans will get sick of defending Trump’s growing pack of lies?
3. DTJ proves once again he is incapable of understanding that judges use evidence without being “loyal” to the president who appointed them (well, most anyways) 4. He claims that somehow in the last months the tariff $$$ has already been appropriated or even earmarked to the military?
looks like gramps is on one again.
And today’s not over yet.
He cray
There may be dumber stuff still. He’s not done posting yet.
omg who will perform lawn maintenance in that case?
Here’s the thing……. He’s actually in a personal war with the constitution, not democrats. He refuses to follow the law and he’s made it “us vs them”. The entire GOP fell for it and trashed the constitution for a convicted criminal
It's not like math is their subject.
“In” where has he been collecting the tariffs? No one has explained to us where the surcharge on groceries is actually going.
WHERE IS THE MONEY?!?
2024 Total Imports: $4.1 Trillion Current Average Tariff Rate ("CATR"): ~19% If CATR applied to 2024: $0.78 Trillion in revenue (for the ENTIRE year) #ChildRapistPrez has collected trillions in tariffs just like he's reducing drug prices by 1400% and his condo is 30,000 sq.ft. The math don't math.
This is bullshit maga speach. All lies all the time.
Hello! Where do these tariff dollars come from? Inside the USA
Well hold on did you read the Guliani press release
He’s such an idiot
Hello Peter Navarro, is that you?
To be clearer on 1. American businesses and suppliers—-have paid 150B in tariff taxes
My understanding is that exporters to the US are responsible for putting around $2.5 BAZILLION into the treasury by paying those TARIFFS.
tRUMPs Deep State Crime Syndicates does not believe in math or numbers. They also shoot the messengers, just like in Russia/China/Iran/NorthKorea/…/Axis of Evil. and Release The Epstein Files #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles Release The Epstein Files #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
When can we just put him to pasture? HBP, stroke, heart failure, renal failure or better yet spontaneous combustion
money stolen from the American people.
News Flash: DONALD TRUMP IS FUCKING NUTS!
I get so annoyed that Trump treats tariffs like magical money when they are a consumer tax paid by all of us and hit people who can least afford it the hardest.
So the American Taxpayer has been rooted for roughly 150 Billion and is happily paying the Tax. Hmm why is that ?
he might actually be throwing in the hundreds of billions all these countries pledged, for him to use a he sees fit
My husband had to go get a new rake (for haying), the cost was $28,000.00. The guy he purchased it from ordered it back in November of 2024 & it was just delivered to the dealership this week. He said now with the big beautiful tariffs, the price is now $35,000.00 FDT!
Hard to say it's him saying it this weekend...? Maybe he's on a nostalgia trip to Epstein Island. Maybe he's on life support. Who knows...
Remember narcissists say the collective but mean themselves. If tariffs return to previous levels, you know when the USA was ok and the military was so so. He means he would be destroyed and he's right. The political humiliation would hurt him seriously as the economy improved. So yep, #tRumpisAFool
He wishes we'd all be destroyed so he can dance on the ashes.
Another post that he definitely didn’t write.
How much money do you honestly think Trump is making off the tariffs that we are paying?
3. If tariffs are so important, he has a supine House and a Senate eager to do his will, he can get those tariffs enacted as laws whenever he wants, or he can try to get Congress to give him the authority explicitly (and risk a non-delegation ruling).
Overly semantic but might be impt. I don’t know that “we’ve taken in” is correct because it implies that the people of the US have gained something from the tariffs. In many instances, the people of the US have paid the tariffs.
Trump is a serious drama queen when it comes to his "accomplishments."
++1 Good lord he is spiraling.
We have “taken in” zero in tariffs. Tariffs are paid by American businesses from funds already here. They aren’t taken in from outside the country. Don’t use his misleading framing.
He did not write that. If he did, he obviously is weak and frail.
MAGA believe it all. But, then, MAGA have shown themselves to be unbelievably stupid and gullible.
Won't happen until 2027 unfortunately. Republicans have no core beliefs other than what their billionaire owners command them to do, and since Drumpf is a billionaire, they ain't going to do a damn thing.
There are a lot of commas in that post and few all caps. I don’t trust it.
This isn’t him. These are full sentences with punctuation. And Trump doesn’t know what obliterated means let alone how to spell it.
And 47 thanked someone that Obama chose?
It is absolutely the dumbest shit ever. But Trump said, the media will amplify it, the masses will believe it.
LOSER
“Folks, it just might be possible, I stress the word MIGHT, that the United States of America may be in the process of freeing itself from not one, but TWO, subhuman pieces of shit? Rudy and Donald? If you’ve never prayed before, now would be a fantastic time to start.”
Hmmm...so if we didn't have tariffs for decades...how did our military not get obliterated sooner?
Except that was either Miller or Susie.
3. trump has run up far more debt than any other president. 4. The tariff money is not coming into our country. The money is coming out of the pockets and bank accounts of the American people.
Right and you are 6’3 “ and weight 223 yawn
Also important to (repeatedly) remind Americans that any funds he has “taken in” came from Americans — a new federal tax on American citizens, implemented without an legislation at all. And I thought the GOP members all signed some paper committing to opposing increased taxes…
Not from me, I'm not spending a dime on Republicans GOP tax = tariffs. 2008, the economy to collapse should've been allowed to burn to the ground the Hog Bankers, Billionaire's Parasites of humanity. Now the Republicans GOP White House Kiddie Fucker Donald is now burning it to the ground. Cool.
Tariffs suck money from the US pool. Eventually, we are left high and dry.
Good Lord..what a lying sack of shit. Having control of the US lets him spin much wilder lies..with much bigger numbers....House of fucking cards...The Dollar will collapse at some point
He just makes up statements that make sense only to him because he is an imbecile.
*American citizens have paid roughly $150 billion in new taxes, I mean tariffs.
Because the last 50 years never happened.
Orange felon lives on lies
🤦♀️
"Taken" not "taken in." Tariffs are a tax paid by American businesses and consumers.
I believe when he talks about military he means ICE
We agree with you. Problem is, Fox will take this as gospel and glorify it for MAGA.
Where’s all the money? Is it paying down the debt?🤷♀️
That $150 billion came out of our own pockets.
Actually you borrowed it from Chinese peasants. Gave yourselves a tax cut.
Exactly. Trump continues to imply that this money is coming from foreign companies or governments.
And WHERE IS IT GOING?
I've wondered the same.
To create his private army.
We have "taken in" ZERO dollars from tariffs. Americans are paying them. Which is not "taking in" ANYTHING.
Oh, that's taking in tariffs. Every penny of them is tax paid by American consumers.
He always says the country was destroyed but he's the one who does the damage.
The money was taken from American citizens . How about those Epstein files .
He loves tariffs for 2 reasons: 1) He can single-handedly wreck the world economy & get world leaders to plead for mercy…& 2) 🇺🇸 tariffs are all paid for by consumers, giving DJT more treasury cash for skimming. All siphoned out of everyday America’s bank accounts.
There would be no pumpkin spice szn without the magic of tariffs.
BS -It wasn't like that before the tariff's.
Exactly where did that $150 billion come from??
US!!!👿
I see what you did there.
MAGA is screaming Who Pays the Tariffs in town halls.
WTF... 😂
Wake me when they finally admit he's dead.
👎🏼🍊🤡‼️
The day is yet young.
Every dollar of those tariffs was a tax paid by an American business.
Now we can be more powerful than the top 50 nations combined! And for what? ...so we let the world's dictators continue to wreak havoc. Oh and tariff's are a tax on the American people too. That money should be circulating in the economy instead.
And how many millions/billions was wasted on DOJE, ICE, plane costs for repeated deportations, court costs, Alligator Alcatraz, etc.?
Behind every deal is a form of extortion. The US demanded side payments and concessions outside of USMCA rules in exchange for lifting the tariffs. Prime Minister Mark Carney called this “ransom for tariff relief”, and that Canada will not be “extorted into side payments dressed up as diplomacy.
Vote.
He says crazy shit so we don’t notice when all that money gets siphoned to their personal crypto accounts.
What stands out for me is, "our country would be completely destroyed!" He has singlehandedly destroyed the country & now he's found a way to compare (contrast) complete Destruction w/ complete Destruction! His way of saying he f'd it up, but it would've been f'd up, had he not f'd it up w/ tarif
Among the most stupid things he ever said and there’s too many to count
Don't forget the real reason for tariffs, trump ordered them stating the emergency powers act, meaning begets to bypass all checks and balances in Congress, and every dime goes straight into the trump administration. Biggest grift in history.
Dumb shit is the trumpanze’s norm
Trillions?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trump is most afraid of losing the ability to shake down countries and corporations for his own personal gain.
And number 3: What we've "taken in" has NOT come from foreign countries, as Trump keeps falsely claiming. It has come from OUR OWN POCKETS.
Who believes Donnie’s nonsense?!
That is why Canada is not buying fighter jets from US - they can shut those down too.
POS pulled the same thing Elmo did by shutting off starlink. I’ve been saying it from day one not to trust us
This whole screed is insanely detached from empirical reality. The man is clearly unwell.
Dangerous:In tRump's latest rant on tariffs,he is again thanking the Supreme Court for siding with him.Is it to insure their loyalty to him by clearly stating what most of us think,a warning to them not to back down?Hard to know,but seriously frightening that he's openly crediting them with his win.
Edit for the first sentence, “Without imposing new taxes on American consumers…”
If Trump was REALLY concerned about our financial solvency, he wouldn't give more tax cuts to billionaires. Such a constant stream of BS from that idiot.
Weird how the dollar value didn't drop like a lead balloon when Biden was in charge & used only targeted tariffs-not retribution tariffs. He tariffed Canada so badly b/c he hated Justin Trudeau-yeah-I know Carney is PM now-but still-trump gets a thing stuck in his head & he won't let it go.🙄
I can't tell if he's just ranting about the court ruling or he's trying to get in front of some more bad economic news he knows is about to drop. August jobs numbers come out on Friday, and while Trump isn't supposed to know about them yet, I wonder if he got a heads-up.
They were probably all trump appointments
Lying motherfucker! The fucking GOP knows it too! I FUCKING HATE ALL OF THEM!
It is an import tax, and the customers in the USA pay for it, while 50 USD for every 100 EUR steel or aluminum is distributed to Trump & friends by lower taxes for them. He does not make the USA wealthy, he just balances the minus he created with workers money by a hidden tax.
Whatever money from tariffs we have supposedly “taken in”, has been offset by the loss in tourism and investment in our “cuntry”. If you factor in the termination of scientists, educators and government workers, the damage outweighs any so called tariffs. So go fuck yourself Don Trump. You asshole
I really don’t think he wrote this. The bit about the judges is too close to proper grammar, and there’s not enough capitalization.
I hate it here, so so much
Also…who do people think pay these tariffs?
Ur dying...F off
All Trump knows how to do extremely well is lie.
The day is going yet. There will be more stupid things to read.
Frump just wants as much money extracted from Americans as he can get so he can steal it! MAGA is so oblivious
FELON’S Fantasy taken in Trillions?? What a MORON!🤬😡
Red state arithmetic?
Just stupid enough to be proof of life.
Last time I checked, DoD appropriations continue to climb year after year. It's as though they want people to believe that tariffs collected just go into some big slush fund that Trump can spend on whatever he wants. Unclear whether Trump thinks this is true or not.
🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
He's shit at numbers; it's why his businesses went bankrupt.
Thought he was golfing at 11am today.
old krash kar bambam - he can't understand that reality outside of his business incompetence isn't a constant state of explosion and destruction.
Tariffs (customs duties) are paid by American businesses and consumers when they import foreign goods. It is NOT paid by the exporting country. It’s a tax on Americans that mostly goes to the Treasury (some to CBP). Trump’s claims about inflation and the economy are not supported by economists.
The National Guard needs to find their payroll somehow! 🤷♀️ (Not the health insurance and housing parts, though)
Has it become obvious to people , all the people., that Trump does not actually know how to run a business or government????
He’s ridiculously inept, incompetent & stupid. What a fucking shit show everything he touches becomes. Fuck ‘em all.🖕🏼
The USAF has been used by this 💩 head to murder civilians in 🇾🇪. For what exactly? Unpack that one to its origin. And he’s using the military to intimidate governors and citizens in 🇺🇸. At this rate when 🇨🇳 moves on 🇹🇼, America will fight alone because NATO will be busy with 🇷🇺 in Europe.
Well, if this isn't proof-of-life I don't know what is.
I was at my friend’s Dad’s house today. He turned 103 yesterday. He’s my history teacher and I serve him lunch. He had the Tv on and they were reporting that in 10 years the tariffs will save us money. I believe the 103 y/o guy who said that is BS. 🙃
Yeah, he lies.
This man is becoming maniacal.
The $$ from tariffs have only gone to trump and his goons. He is flossing the american people.
I can’t wait to hear how the Guardian or The Independent report on this.
25th Amendment STAT!!!! He's nuts!!!!
If the prices on stuffed animals at Disney world right now are any indicator of the impact of tariffs, Christmas is going to be stupid expensive.
He's likely lying, since he does that as easily as he breathes. But it's also quite possible that he doesn't know the difference between billions and trillions. It's pretty scary.
We had the world’s most powerful military seven months ago, without tariffs.
It’s becoming obvious, due to the punctuation and spelling, that Donny is having to dictate his poots because his deteriorating mind and stubby fingers are no longer able to function together properly.
The "retruths" kills me.
He was a succeeding in destroying the armed forces. There will be exodus of the more advanced personnel including people in supportive roles. Not all people carry a weapon in the military. The majority are in support roles. Finish their contract and they will leave.
And there is always great competition for the dumbest shit of the day. So it's quite an honor...
Is that real tariff income or just the extortion money?
How much of that tariff $$ is trump and his minions putting in their pockets? We know it's not going back to do anything to improve our lives.
Any money received from tariffs CAME FROM AMERICAN CONSUMERS. He CAN NOT understand, that PRODUCERS DO NOT PAY TARIFFS, consumers do.
And yet somehow without such tariffs our country has lasted 249 years.
Idiot
He didn’t write this.
25th amendment, anyone?
Also, when SCOTUS upholds the illegality of most of the import taxes, the administration will need to refund them!
Again. Saying what he is doing
Imagine voting for a guy who had 6 bankruptcies and thinking he's the right guy to save the country's economy. 😩 To then ,somehow, connect tariffs with the military is just inane. Lord , please speed up the process.
