That's what you get for buying your avocado toast at Wally World.

If you think people dumb enough to vote for Trump 3 times aren't going to just believe "it's the left's fault" the second he or FOX News hosts say so, I don't know what world you're living in.
Yeah, nah, they're going to blame immigrants and minorities.
Women, too.
Apparently, they can't fly.
So they are gonna blame women, while trump is appointing women to the cabinet? 🤔
It is their fault for not being white so we have to deport them. If only they were white so they can stay and work the fields.
Major /s here.
Yep. Guess who in the 1940s also used the economy and blamed gays and Jews to justify the genocide of them?
Nah they will say “it’s for the greater good” these people will walk trough fire for Trump.
I went to r/conservative today, and its totaly this
Lol like they'll ever blame Trump for anything he does
The GOP has relied on people voting against their own best interests for at least 50 years now.
These people will not notice. They'll see things crumbling around them and blame Obama.
I know this is a meme, but he enacted a 10% tarriff of China, 25% on Canada and Mexico, not a 60% on any.
Still Americans that's going to pay it.
Edit: Who's going to pay for it.
Nah they'll believe whatever reason he makes up to blame libs.
I don't know what's going on, my hardcore Trump MAGA fanatic dad suddenly hates his guts and wants nothing to do with him
And the ones that don't come from China come from Mexico or Canada. Enjoy your car insurance rate hikes everyone!
People are mad and they want to fight for what they believe in. The pain caused by tariffs are a way to virtue signal they are fighting for their team. A badge of honor.
This might not play out how you would think...
If Bernie was president and said we would have to pay more for something for the greater good I would do it and probably be proud to...
In Bernie's case it's "pay slightly more in taxes for free healthcare for everyone"
In Trump's case it's "pay much more in groceries because fuck you"
"Buut why is muh chik-fil-a so 'spensive, Jim Bob?"
Isn’t it a 10% tariff?
Was already 10% tariff on goods from China; he added 10% more, bringing the total to 20%.
New 10% tariff on energy imports from Canada. 25% for everything else.
New 25% tariff on imports from Mexico.
I think it's 10% on top of whatever is already in place.
Surprised Bezos signed off on this 🫤
Why wouldn't he? You buy some cheap tat from his tat shop, it comes from China, Bozo collects the tariff on the govt's behalf and deducts a "processing" fee and hey presto! Bozo gets more billions!
