JD Pritzker was on #FnS this morning, and did a reasonably good job of distinguishing between "targeted" #tariffs on SPECIFIC items, vs "blanket tariffs on entire nations."

#Republicans… and hosts of #Conservative news programs… ALWAYS start out with "#Biden did tariffs too!" trying to brand #Democrats as hypocrites.

Pritzker was prepared for that trap. He did fail to point out that a blanket tariff against an entire country is a #TradeWar, NOT a negotiation. #DisasterPresidency

If Americans can't afford your product b/c #TheOrangeMenace made them too expensive, foreign corporations will just look for customers elsewhere.

And *smart* countries (#China) looking to destroy the American economy (even more than #DonnieDumbass is doing on his own), they'll make it cheap & easy to sell in *their* country so that FEWER products are sent to the U.S., creating a shortage that causes prices to rise, tossing the U.S. into a deep #Recession. #DisasterPresidency

@cryptadamist
I pray these #CryptoBros aren't THAT nucking stupid. #cryptocurrency would simply be another form of currency.

Replacing one currency with another wouldn't change anything that's happening on #WallStreet. The #DOW didn't crash b/c the dollar suddenly lost value.

If the price of a loaf of bread goes from $2 to $100, it wouldn't be any cheaper if you pay in #Crypto. #TooStupidForPolitics #DisasterPresidency

Prez Clinton's chief economic advisor Larry Summers pulled all the crackpot quackery together. There's a clear theme running through the T**** mindset: "#Tariffs are to economics what Creationism is to biology, astrology is to astronomy."

Nice to see so many of #DisasterDonnie's biggest hits all in one place. #DisasterPresidency

OH DEAR LORD.

No details. I don't want to spoil it. #DisasterPresidency

Peter Navaro on one of the #SundayShows this morning ACTUALLY SAID:

"[T****'s #tariffs] would generate $6T in income [for the United States.]"

(Ignoring for a moment that the stupid SoB CLEARLY still doesn't understand how tariffs work)... THE MARKET *JUST LOST* $6T IN TWO DAYS!

So when this mess is over & done with, after God-knows how many years & alienating all of our allies, we will have BROKEN EVEN??? #JFC. #TooStupidForPolitics #DisasterPresidency

During the campaign, T**** told his supporters:

"I am your #retribution."

...and vowed to go after his enemies. But after he was elected, he said he "wouldn't have time" to go after his enemies.

But since taking office, he's done almost nothing but. (4:03) #DisasterPresidency #MafiaDon

"We're going to lose a generation of young farmers." #tariffs #DisasterPresidency

On #ThisWeek...

Steph-O: "This is only going to raise prices."

Priebus: "This [#tariffs] is just a negotiating strategy. Countries will now come to the table and negotiate trade deals to eliminate the tariffs."

Steph-O: "But that won't bring jobs back to the United States!"

#TrumpExplainers just make it up as they go along. They HAVE to come up with a rational explanation for why T**** keeps doing stupid stuff to keep the myth alive. #DisasterPresidency

"We will bring down prices on #DayOne."

#DisasterDonnie's chief Economic Advisor Kevin Hasset on #ThisWeek just tried to claim the reason #Russia was excluded from T****'s blanket #tariffs was b/c "we are in the middle of peace negotiations between them & #Ukraine, and you don't impose anything new in the middle of a negotiation."

Ukraine is included among Trump's 10% blanket #tariff on all countries. #LyingBastard #DisasterPresidency #tariffs https://kyivindependent.com/difficult-but-not-critical-ukraines-economy-minister-reacts-to-trumps-tariffs/

#SundayShowdown

I heard a lot of Sunday hosts this morning point out how: "T**** promised to bring down prices on #DayOne."

Now he's saying this could be "a two year process".

He certainly wasn't so forgiving of #Biden to restore the economy after T****'s mishandling of the #pandemic destroyed it. #DisasterPresidency

#SundayShowdown

#Bessent said the #pandemic taught us a lesson about destruction of the #SuplyChain (and why we must encourage companies to move *here*.)

That was the DOMESTIC supply chain.

Now they are about to destroy our #IMPORT supply chain. #Round2

I'm reminded of #Dubya invading #Iraq after ignoring the threat that led to 9/11.

They learn the wrong lesson from their F-ups, and respond with an EVEN BIGGER F-up that is even MORE disastrous. #DisasterPresidency #TooStupidForPolitics

#SundayShowdown
"We are only in the first few days of this. Give it time. These are 'reciprocal' #tariffs… and I emphasize he word 'reciprocal'."

#FoxnewsSunday keeps using that word over & over.

NO, these are NOT "reciprocal" tariffs. Whether the other country imposes a #tariff on us IS NOT EVEN PART OF THE EQUATION. They are imposing a tariff on everyone we have a trade DEFICIT with. And if we have no data, there's a blanket minimum 10% tariff. #TooStupidForPolitics #DisasterPresidency

#SundayShowdown

"No one is losing more money than #ElonMusk [as a result of these policies.]"

- Fox host Shannon Breem (falsely) implying #TheElongatedMuskrat is *selflessly* devising policies "he knew" would hurt him financially.

NO. #Musk thought these policies would result in an economic *boom*, and now that he's seeing he was wrong, is now breaking with #DonnieDumbass on #tariffs. #DonTheCon #DisasterPresidency
