Tbf, some of the things he said or what’s on Project 2025 is there… people just voted for him cause he said, “I’ll make your price of eggs go lower.”
I heard some variant of, "He lies all the time, so I don't think he's serious about tariffs/Project 2025."
Which is interesting to square with the thought of, "He tells it like it is, so I trust him."
But I don't live with chronic cognitive dissonance, which I assume these people accept as just another uncomfortable feeling humans have to live with. Like aches that persist with age, or feeling exhaustion at the thought of getting out of bed and going to work. That flicker of doubt from seeing that your beliefs contradict each other is just another sensation that needs to be suppressed and ignored.
Do we really think people voted Trump based on eggs? I think we need to read between the lines here.
I didn't back him. I didn't sign up. Can I be excused please?
Nope. Welcome to Democracy.
Yes. Unfortunately we all have to suffer because a quarter of the US population is as ignorant as a box of rocks.
That being said, he also has the option of not destroying the US economy. Nobody is forcing him to recklessly abolish society.

I agree with him on this one. Leopards meet face.
Hold up. Wait. So tRUMP isn't lying for once?
His lips moved therefore a childlike fabrication should be heard, right!!??!! I think I need to have a good long sit down and think about what he's done!
he also dint do the accordian hands when hes lying.
Well I didn't back you, clown. Tariffs should then apply only to MAGAt morons and lazy ass ButBothSides types
Gotta read the fine print. And by fine print I mean Ariel Black 72pt.
As if they can read.
And not a one, including himself, understood what tariffs were.
Now when we tell people they voted for this we can point them to their best buddy saying it too.
Exactly, this is not the policies of just one (although completely mental) guy. This is republican politics.

He also said tariffs were a tax that other countries paid...so there may have been some confusion over what exactly they were agreeing to.
Idk why so many idiots keep harping on this when it doesn't matter who actually gives the money to the government, it all ends up being borne by the end consumer. If china "paid" the tariffs to the government it would be exactly the same as if the importer did in terms of overall effect.
He said the economy would go up on day one, prices would go down and America would be in a golden age.
He said the economy was doing great in 2024 because people were predicting He would win the election, and then when the economy went down in 2025 he put all the blame on Biden.
I said this in 2016: he doesnt mean anything he says, he just says whatever he thinks in that moment will get him what he wants. He lies so frequently that you might as well just disregard everything he says because it doesnt have any basis in reality.
It doesn’t matter who pays the tariff. Anyone with half a brain knows that the cost will be passed down to the consumer either way.
Anyone with half a brain
Oops, I think we found the problem.
Yep. Less than half a brain and less than half a heart. Amd absolutely no self-awareness.
Socrates would chug a 20 ounce hemlock Mountain Dew just on principle after meeting an average American.
Anyone with half a brain
Trump voters
Pick one.
