I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

"But, #tariffs are supposed to be taxes on other countries!!!" cried every sniveling MAGA who will see their cost of living shoot through the roof.

If you voted for Trump based on "the economy," you were either an idiot or lying to yourself.

It’s comforting to know that our economy is now being driven by Howard Lutnick channeling the ghosts of Smoot & Hawley rolled out by a front man in orange makeup and high heels who bankrupted casinos.

This is incredible. The "reciprocal tariffs" were calculated without actually looking at anything to do with tariffs.

This is the most amateur-hour crap you can imagine and it's going to straight tank the global economy.
