It's a pretty hilarious interview. He said to give trump more time to, and then he almost said fix it, but he said change course or something like that. That dude is delusional and the wrong color for trump's liking. Trump will not care that he said these things.

I love how he says he's a small american business using the 3-2-1 loophole to import goods from China to Mexico and then the Us.

He then proceeds to rail against cheap China goods flooding the market.

Those people are really, really bad at connecting dots.

"People voted for this" is my new response when someone complains about things going on. They can take it any way they'd like. If they voted for Trump, I've reminded them of consequences without directly saying it's their fault. They'll either figure that out on their own, or never will.

This has been my take on things. You knew exactly what you were getting. It couldn't have been spelled out more clearly. Donnie's a moron with the disposition of a toddler, not to mention the mile-long list of other red flags, and you voted for that. Dipshit Donnie deserves all the blame he's getting, but you morons handed him this power. This is your fault.

And if they didn't vote for Trump they'll realize how stupid America really is.

And if they voted to abstain...
They voted for this.

Not always accurate thanks to Gerrymandering and other things to minimize voting populations

It always astounded me, living in Arizona, how much time people had to spend fighting back against decisions made by the people they voted for. And then how the people they voted for were always guaranteed to stop voter referendums from being enacted. Makes me almost think that it's their fetish or their identity to have their terrible people in power then go "ugh, government is the worst". Being able to complain about shit government is all they have going for them.

These are people who are estranged from their own families, whose jobs are vestigial and who have lived lives of completely unearned luxury and comfort far beyond what any other "commoner" has had or ever will have again in history. They have nothing else to do but to literally create problems for the world to give them some sense of imagined purpose.

The more I'm alive here the more I think these dumb bitches vote for terrible politicians because they love the drama.

Irs why they want to "drain the swamp" but the inability to recognise a charasmartic grifter from a competent administrator means they repeat the same mistakes.

Prayers like "May God punish you for your stupidity."

[–] Wiz@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago

And thoughts like, "What kind of fucking moron votes for this guy 3 times, and then whines about getting screwed by Trump on national TV?"

It’s incredibly funny how quickly the idea of the US projected across the world has turned from power to pathetic.

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Almost as if the emperor was buck naked all the time and the rest of us non American nations were just too scared to say anything. Go ahead and marinate on that. I'm curious what the consensus on "American exceptionalism" really means (meant, sorry. Past tense now), having considered the current facts on the ground.

Buy fewer dolls and pencils, cupcake.
