Trump has lost his fucking mind honestly

Postby CraigKressel » April 9th, 2025, 1:18 pm

I like the idea of tariffs to replace income tax and lower corporate tax but this is fucking insane period.

1. You can't build 100 billion dollar factories and train employees, build robotics, etc in a fucking month.

2. We are not going to be making TVs, motherboards, smart phones, Nike shoes anytime soon, if you just did a 10 percent tariff and replaced 150k and under income tax with sure that would be great and would bring back what we can produce like a little more cars, furniture, pharmaceuticals and other things like that.

3. What is up with that fake fucking chart and all those fake numbers they pulled out of their asses, it makes them look like a bunch of fucking lying retards, just tell the truth why even post a fake number like that?

4. Why are they so freaking high and did you even try to negotiate with them first?? Why not negotiate first then put on tariffs if the negotiations failed, he is making everyone absolutely loath him and the USA.

5. What is the end game here? Just to tax the fuck out of us and piss everyone off, destroy everyone's net worth, we don't have any tax cuts and won't other than tax on tips and SS who gives a fuck about that? Congress will never get rid of the IRS or cut taxes on under 150k to 0. And no fat lazy American's are going to work in a shoe or TV factory and we can't even build the fucking factory.

6. How are you going to get rid of a trade deficit with a country like Vietnam that has no money to buy anything, they aren't going to be buying Mustangs, F150s, Harleys, iphones, Gibson Les Paul's, Xbox's in mass anytime soon? Do millionaires with an assistant, personal trainer, private chef paying them 100k each expect to close the trade deficit and sell them all something that is 100k?

Who is screwing who here? Mexico, Vietnam, Thailand, China, etc have made near slave labor for us to consume, if anything we are screwing them. Now with that said China fucked us with Covid and is a threat but that doesn't have to do with this specifically.

Great question.

He should have never done this before he had tax and spending cuts, let DOGE find everything recommend a bill to congress to cut everything DOGE found give out a stimulus check for 1-5k for the first year then implement spending cuts after that.

Go corporate 15, tariff 10 percent global minimum, 150k no income tax. Then after that push countries fucking us and ask them to remove barriers or raise tariffs to 15-20 percent on them.

Thats how someone with a fucking brain would have done it.

It’s just a slap in the face way to negotiate. American public is not used to it (especially from a President) but we’ve been getting fucked for years. Tons of countries are already wanting to negotiate. Who knows how it plays out long term.

I don’t think the USA can be as self reliant as he is advertising, but we can be more self reliant.

Dude playing poker with everyone's life savings and the country/global economy is not the way to do things, you can do it some.

Also what is with Canada and Greenland, why does he keep trying to make them a state? What is this shit, he wouldnt say if he would rule out using military.

I have no problem asking them if they want to join but threatening them and trying to force them to join is insane.

The whole Canada and Greenland (might as well toss in Gulf of America) thing is so baffling. Not sure what we (or them) would get out of it but I just take it as lip service.

I’m assuming the stock market thing is temporary and just a reaction. Lots of people probably gonna get rich(er) off it buying low stocks and waiting until they rebound.

I think he was trying to get greenland and canada because it would give us way more leverage for tariffs

what is liberation day if he just cancelled it a week later?

Here is what happened, he completely fucked this up last week with that fake fucking chart, everyone saw how dumb it was and the markets tanked.

Over the weekend his entire staff was probably losing their minds pressuring him to back off along with senators in private.

Then monday they leak that 90 day thing to test it out with fox news, markets go fucking bananas, then they crash harder, then its like ok we have to do this for real or its going to get ugly.

I think he knew exactly what he was doing. I’m not so sure he gives a shit about the small fish countries out there. Just had to include them all to further his point.

I have no idea if the chart is fake. How would we know what the individual tariff is for every country? Is it public knowledge?

I am not biased at all, I also blame him for letting the lockdowns happen and not going after Fauci, where is Fauci, oh he is coming to speak right by my house here in a week, why isn't that fuck in prison?

Why hasn't the DOJ gone after that piece of shit yet or congress?

I don’t usually spend my time worrying about things I can’t control.

Politicians are all mouth pieces who make 174K a year but somehow have 20 million in the bank.

Overall I don’t “spend my time” worrying about it. I spend majority of my time working with kids, taking care of family, and coaching ball and stuff. However I still like to voice my opinion that I don’t like stuff and vote to change it if I can.

Though I really can’t “make a change by voting”, since they’re all corrupt pieces of shit and it’s not getting any better any time soon.


We need term limits for congress, and that’ll be a good first step in stopping some of their corruption.

Straight corruption



The U.S. government has pulled back from its plan to block Nvidia's H20 HGX GPU exports to China, following a meeting between the U.S. President Donald Trump and Nvidia's chief executive Jensen Huang at a $1 million-a-head dinner. During the tête-à-tête Huang vowed to invest in domestic AI infrastructure, reports NPR. The Trump administration reportedly planned to ban sales of Nvidia's H20 HGX GPUs to China starting this week, but changed its mind.
