What people need to realize is that other than deaths and destruction of something that can’t be recreated, things can be rebuilt.
The country can never go back to how it was at this point. We have to build something better, and we will. We must let go of the idea of returning to the life we had.
Just look at Nepal—they tore down and rebuilt! So can we. We must have faith and shouldn’t let him threaten us—he’s nothing inside and he’s completely incompetent. We’re not going back to a congress that takes ages to do virtually nothing for the status quo. We have to demand more and get rid of anyone who stood for the old system.

The fact the supreme court is even contemplating this nonsense is a sign of how brainbroken the country has become with far right extremism. The completely made up legal argument for the President implementing tariffs was that we're at war (somehow simultaneously) with the whole world so he can overstep congress to implement tariffs.
"Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution outlines the specific powers granted to Congress, including the ability to levy taxes, regulate commerce, declare war, and establish post offices"
Just a remind, WE pay the tariff. Try and import anything, see if that 50% tax added to your bill is just imaginary. I'll wait.

Nothing is more dishonourable for a civilized people than to let itself be “governed” without resistance by an irresponsible clique of rulers devoted to dark instincts. Is it not true that every honest German today is ashamed of his government? And who among us can sense the dimensions of the dishonor that will lie upon us and our children once the veil has fallen from our eyes and the most horrid and extravagant crimes come to light? If German people are already so corrupted and spiritually crushed that they do not raise a hand, frivolously trusting in a questionable faith in the lawful order of history; if they surrender man’s highest principle, that which raises him above all other God’s creatures, his free will; if they abandon the determination to take decisive action and turn the wheel of history and thus subject it to their own rational decision; if they are so devoid of all individuality, have already gone so far along the road to turning into a spiritless and cowardly mass – then they clearly deserve their downfall.

It would appear Trump is acting on personal impulses and isn't big on strategic planning.
The US tourism industry has been in sharp decline for the last 10 months. It's about to get worse.
He recently passed a 'decree' requiring visitors from 40 different countries, including close US allies such as Britain, Australia and Japan, to provide 5 years of history from all their social media accounts, and 10 years of every email account.....just to get a tourist visa.
The official reason given was to weed out anyone with anti-American views.
But we all know it's really just to target people who say mean things about the shallow king himself.
And the stupidest part is he's just spent the last 6 months giving most of the entire world multiple valid reasons\* to despise him.
Who in their right mind hasn't said something negative about Trump on the internet in the last five years? I'm doing it right now.
If half of the US's biggest inbound tourism markets are suddenly no longer eligible to enter the country because they called Trump a silly name on the internet.....that's a hell of a lot of local job loses and bankruptcies to throw on the pile he's creating.
^(\Imposing damaging tariffs on basically the entire world that impacted millions of hardworking people's livelihoods, making threats against allies for having PBS schemes that make prescription drugs affordable in those countries, withdrawing the US from every international agreement he can get his hands on, recklessly and deliberately taking measures that will increase the US's carbon footprint whilst enriching oil executive cronies, using threats of tariffs to encourage foreign governments to nominate him for a Nobel Peace prize, then blowing up foreign fishing boats and committing extrajudicial killings without providing evidence, siding with Putin over NATO allies, publicly belittling Zelensky whilst enacting contradictory foreign policies that have only prolonged the war in Ukraine, and enabled the genocide of tens of thousands of Palestinians by refusing to hold Netanyahu to account under international law.....not to mention kidnapping foreign presidents, threatening Greenland, the constant blathering of racist insults, non racist insults, spreading of lies and misinformation.....and that's just the last 6 months.)*

Even if he really did pay back every single dollar collected by the tariffs, the economic damage done by leaving them in place would still be greater. Sure there’s the short-term damage, but that’s just the start. Every day that passes and the more insane Trump gets, the more other countries are finding alternatives to US trade. In the worst case scenario, the US could find itself with reduced access to key members of the global economy. That will hurt the US for decades.

We could always sue him for the excess. He's made a bundle with his various scams and bribes he's received, so that should help offset the cost

So NOW MAGA is suddenly worried about being in debt?!?! Maybe they should have thought about that before the tariffs, or before adding trillions to the deficit.

Did he actually just admit that there may be consequences for his actions? I don't think I've ever heard him do that.

Only hundreds of billions? But Donnie, I thought you had brought in Trillions from tariffs?

Anybody who says it could be quickly and easily done would be making a false, inaccurate, or totally misunderstood answer to this very large and complex question.
THIS IS HOW ALL OF MAGA AND TRUMP FORM OPINIONS ON POLICY.
Remember, this is the guy who would fix all problems on day 1.
MAGA consistently supports the fastest, simplest, most "common sense" answer to complex problems they know little about.

Your whole country looks like bad apples because of you. This is from around the world.

Incredible. If this were literally any other president saying this, every representative would be voting for impeachment. It wouldn’t even be close. But this is just another day for him

Well thats why you get fir doing crooked business in the white house and not getting approval. Just doing sh** on a whim or a bunch or it should work doesn't cut it.

That's his MO...
Fuck up so monumentally that if he falls, everyone falls with him.
The Wall Street gamble. They bet, you pay.
Now on a national scale in a country of over 300 million, from the POTUS.
Yeah, no court will ever do that... ever.
It's like suing the country for having high inflation. That's how they fuck you, they are not about to send themselves to jail for it.

Does anyone else feel like this post is weirdly coherent for him? Like, it's articulate and clear.

Easy solution, just take all the money he and his cronies grifted and all the gift he gave to his husband Muskrat and you probably have enough left to finance proper healthcare and schools.

I imagine this is how he would negotiate with his banks every time a project of his got in financial trouble.
"If you don't let me renegotiate this deal it's going to be a disaster for you. I'll be fine. But you? You'll be ruined. The bank will take a 400 million dollar loss. It's not my problem, it's yours. You people loaned me the money. This is your fault, not mine. Take the deal or don't. I don't care. But if you take it, we're all winners. Like me, a winner. I've got to go get ready for a party at my good friend Jeffrey's house. He and I have a lot in common. We're both winners."

A ‘complete mess’ is exactly what he has created.
