    When someone as fucking stupid as Rogan is questioning the idiocy of a policy you know it’s gotta be bad.

        This exactly, all that sweet sweet revenue from conservatives flocking to your podcasts, channel,etc suddenly disappears due as a result of supporters more concerned about the tariffs than to the brainrot podcasts

      Nah like the other grifters he’s more worried about his supporters turning on him once they have no jobs or can’t afford anything because of the tariffs, hence no money they can grift from them.

    They are questioning it now… not before he got elected even though he clearly said he would be this stupid in his campaign.

    A complete idiot understands that this is madness. That’s we are right now.

    Before the election anyone who read entry level economics understood this.

      Economics is taught in highschool. 54% read below a 6th grade level. I’d be willing to bet the 30% of the population that voted for Trump read below that.

      “He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting”

      Imagine: voting not for any particular benefit for you or other Americans, not for the good of the country, but voting to HURT a specific set of people.

    It’s because it hurts their bottom line, basically they can’t grift anymore with lies if the conservatives don’t have jobs and they start blaming Republicans and their policy, they will lose viewer ship to their shows or podcasts. It is the reason they have been quiet all of the sudden much like the situation with Luigi early on.

    I don’t know if i should be amused, that even Musk is reacting like he didn’t think Trump was going to pull this through or rather alarmed that Trump really is unhinged.

    It’s not like Trump wasn’t talking about tariffs a long time before enforcing them.

    I’ll just be both.
