Who could have predicted this??
He’ll just lie and say he made TWO trillion.
The tariffs are restrictively high. Anyone with a brain could have predicted that. I guess that is why only the MAGATs applauded the tariffs.
Meanwhile the negative effects from this whole farce will still happen and is happening.
That was one awkward title. Shouldn’t the word „as“ or a period be between disappointment and Revenues? Just nit-picking. Regardless, seeing Trump disappointed is always a good thing.
Clearly he hasn’t set them high enough. /s
Bring Elon back immediately. We need DOGE to close more things down, and I don’t care what they are. If he doesn’t get me that trillion, I’ll start closing Congress and the Supreme Court. That will get us a trillion for sure.
It’ll be swept under the rig like everything else.
Welp. Back to selling gold sneakers.
Guys, calm down. When Mexico pays for the Wall, we’ll be flush with cash again.
What a surprise. Turns out a consumer based economy doesn’t work when you have a consumer base who cannot afford to consume. Shocking. Truly.
The moron gave away the entire game this weekend even for the slow thinkers (and weeks and months and years ago for anybody with a degree or any level comprehension). The secret but leaked demand that car makers eat their tariffs and the openly public coercion against Walmart show that he knew this would never bring back manufacturing or have any good faith to it at all. How the fu$& are tariffs gonna increase prices to consumers if they aren’t passed through to consumers??!
Y know what else? That’s basically a ‘socialist’ taking against the car industry and the biggest retailer in the world.
This title is unnecessarily difficult to understand.
Turns out, China, will not in fact be paying his tariffs, imagine that.
And also, it seems like most Americans won’t either, huh, crazy.
So, what will happen instead?
The economy grinds to a halt, we enter a depression, and the rest of the global world turns its back on the United States until we come to our senses.
You mean Trumps’ Banana Republican Party lied?
Every action Dildo Dump takes is a limp dick.
Who could have known?
Once again, who pays the tariffs? It’s not the country of origin, it’s the importer, right? And they pass the cost on to the consumer, right? American consumers are paying the tariffs, right?
Just double checking.
No one is buying anything!
Who the hell is going to buy something that’s marked up 140 percent!
Who’d have thunk insane tariffs would decrease demand?
No the won’t be lower than expected. They will be lower than their lies proclaimed.
Almost like we could see it coming, weird eh
Moron who doesn’t understand tariffs proven wrong about them benefiting the American economy. Seriously every economist warned him that this would happen and instead of backing down, he fucking double downed and fucked us even more.
Lol – no shit!“ 😅
Surprising no one who actually looked at the value of goods imported by the US.
Making America great again = Making America’s economy worse again
A trillion here, a trillion there. Pretty soon we will be losing real money!
High tariffs would mean less imports which means less tariffs collected. Not rocket science
Damned inefficient government! He should get Elon on that right away!
/s
he’s about to figure out why the tariffs were discontinued back then.,.
What is this demand being elastic in response to price increase fake news. What next? Oil companies are going to complain about price dropping from drill baby drill?
