The pathetic desperation in this cry for help is palpable, and delightful.

There wasn’t a problem until you caused one, Dipshit Donny. Now you’re locked out and clawing at the door.

    “CLOSED MARKETS DON’T WORK ANYMORE!!!”

    There used to be a time delay of several years in these “Trump criticizes Trump” things. Are we still measuring time in Scaramouches?

    “Closed markets don’t work anymore” says the guy using tariffs to artificially close off the access to the world’s markets.

      They’ve crippled most nonprofits and small corporations. Mission accomplished. They’ll use the windfall from a new free trade agreement to snap up market share and assets. And about 100 years later, rinse and repeat.

      He wants bilateral open markets ie some form of neoliberal apocalypse. For some reason he thinks this benefits the US, as if the world is tripping over itself to buy over priced mid quality American products.

      The tariffs are simply a means to that end. From their perspective it’s either no or equal tariffs both ways.

      For once China didn’t do shit. Trump closed the US market all on his own and now that the entirely predictable outcome occurred (that he was warned about repeatedly before hand) he’s throwing a tantrum and blaming everyone else (as he does).

      You DO know that dozens of millions voted for this clown and still follow him, even on that “platform” with about 5 million active users.

      Why would you lie about that? What is there to gain from spreading FUD? People still love that piece of shit.
