“Well, they did sign up for it, actually. And this is what I campaigned on,” Trump said of the tariffs during an interview with ABC News that aired Tuesday.

And you can’t really argue with that.

    Maybe this will wake up these MAGA morons to pay attention to policy and not culture war manipulation when they vote? Doubt it, but here’s to hope.

      Ask any trump voter why they voted for trump. They will say “because I like his policies more”. Ask them which policy do they think will benefit them, they will have no answer.

    This is why I think Trump stickers next to prices should say, “You did this.” He not only won’t except blame for anything but he’ll gladly shift blame to the people he’s hurting the most.

      If you lie so much you’ll have trouble keeping your story straight, and eventually make a mistake and drop a few truths in there somewhere

    Eventually he farts out a truth… You got what you voted for. It’s just the many morons that voted didn’t understand tariffs, basic human decency, or that fascism=bad.

    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.

      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.

          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.

    Given the way voters and non voters work, it’s pretty clear that there was a huge number how voted or de facto voted for him.
