So, someone in the WH taking dictation from donvict talking about donvict in the third person, like totally normal people do...
Trust the lying convicted felon.
The man knows how to run a business (into the ground), just look at his casinos and how well they're doing (after he bankrupted them), or any of his other numerous (un)successful businesses
Baghdad Bob wouldn't go along with this crap. Standards.
"Trust in" him? What kind of cult nonsense are you trying to pull? (hint: I already know what kind, it's the flavor-aid kind)
Thank you for not besmirching kool-aid's good name with more lies
Hail yourself and fuck this president.
Trust a proven liar? Not without a lobotomy first.
Trust a proven liar? No...
Trust a liar, conman, and rapist on the other hand...
"President Trump is taking this economy in a different direction. He ran on that. He promised it. And now he's delivering. And yes, this is a big change. I'm not going to shy away from it, but we needed a big change," Vance told "Fox & Friends."
Trump is changing the economy from "up" to "down"?
I can't even trust him to wipe his ass correctly.
Would you trust him alone with you kids? No? Then you got your fucking answer.
I would! He'd leave that room in Ziploc bags.
Why would anyone ever trust this fucking human paraquat?
Trust the twice-impeached convicted felon who stared at the sun, who lies about immigrants eating pets, who demonstrates his ignorance on every subject he attempts to articulate on, who has the vocabulary of a five year old, who can’t be bothered to spend the time understanding important information presented to him, who cheats on his wives, who….yeah, nah. You see how pants-on-head stupid the idea of trusting this man is?
I would sooner trust a hungry polar bear.
I trust him like I trust a cobra whose tail I just stepped on.
Trust me, I trust him, trust him to fuck us all over
I've been talking with my wife, and we're going to start unloading, without a knee jerk reaction some of our U.S. holdings. We no longer have any faith in the U.S. markets as of now, and we can better move our money back into our country and over into Europe and Asia where we can better use our money and not support the U.S. fascist state as it currently stands.
Look at tariffs they've done over the past 200 years. Never has been good for them. Third time it will though, right?
The real irony of course is that this will have literally the exact opposite effect from what he wants. For some unknown reason Trump is thoroughly obsessed with trade deficits, specifically the eliminating of them. He actually used a formula based on each country's trade deficit when deciding what each tariff would be.
Ultimately though these tariffs are going to massively increase the trade deficits though as the counter tariffs hurt US exports of goods that are either luxuries or else readily available from other countries. Meanwhile while the tariffs will somewhat reduce US demand for imports the fact that there's no real domestic alternatives for the overwhelming majority of goods means they'll still be imported. The net result will be little if any reduction of imports combined with a significant reduction of exports leading to record trade deficits.
I guess when America slams into rock bottom there will be a boom sound.
Didn't think we would be hitting the blind trust while destroying America part so quickly.
Trust what? That he’s corrupt and this is a mafia-style shakedown?
I'll trust him when he's honest, or manages to not bankrupt a company
Jeez look at the state of his skin. This might be the most bronzer he's ever applied at once. Is there like an unwritten law that dictators have to look objectively ridiculous? I can't get past it for one second even after all these years.
The orange covers up the symptoms of syphilis. Same reason they used to use wigs and white face powder back in the day. It's reached his brain, and it shows.
