Rofl. I was forced to start budgeting after Biden's inability to contain covid for a long time like he said he would do and his ridiculous inflation numbers, and Trump has just prolonged it by implementing increases without a go-forward plan to enact decreases elsewhere.
Another POTUS, another negative impact to my wallet. Before these two idiots, I lost 8k a year to Obamacare, I lost a ton under W because I had to sell property in 2009 that had depreciated by a large amount, and under Clinton I lost money on futures because of his stupidity of transferring debt just because he wanted to trick voters into thinking he paid off our deficit.
Why partisan people only care about the money they lose under POTUS's that don't belong to their party is beyond me.

Didn't a court find his unilateral declaring of tariffs to be illegal?
I guess we're just going to do it anyway?

From what I understand, SCOTUS has not yet done so.

I care about the Presidents who are actually President, when they are costing me money.

This is why it's pointless to attempt conversations with Republicans.

When (if) the case reaches SCOTUS, the letter that Pres Trump wrote to Brazil declaring tariffs on Brazilian goods due to Brazil's prosecution of fmr Pres Bolsonaro will not, in my non-legal opinion, help Pres Trump's case that he is implementing tariffs due to a national emergency in the US.

Trump is the most expensive president in history.

"Biden's inability to contain covid"
You mean after Trump let COVID into the country, Biden was unable to control it?
It's like saying "Chicago's inability to contain gun violence" after the Second Amendment let guns into the country.
Which is exactly what Republicans say.

I wonder if he is also #2.

Trump just announced 35% tariffs on Canada ... where farm fertilizer, building lumber, and so much more are imported from.

"Trump just announced 35% tariffs on Canada"
To be accurate, these need to be represented as a 35% tariff on Americans.

building lumber
#14 | Posted by AMERICANUNITY
And so the collapse of the American homebuilding industry.
Gee, it's too bad Biden is president.

Was all of that really the fault of the Presidents? Or did you just make a lot of ------ financial decisions over the years? I'd guess maybe both, but mostly the later.

Next month, if Canada opts to retaliate with tariffs on U.S. goods. Its part of the current trade negotiations. Canadian goods are also subject to sector-specific tariffs, such as 50% levies on steel and aluminum as well as 25% tariffs on non-USMCA compliant autos and auto parts.
So not sure what you're complaining about really.

Could be both, but to make fun of people struggling and complaining, isn't really a good strategy.

Do you know what a "conversation" is? You seemed to not enjoy the "conversation" when Hamas was murdering children (what did you call it?)
Pointing out facts that support your theory/assertion, is a conversation. But, after dealing with you for a few years now, I know its something you're incapable of doing.

Yup.
And Pres Trump seems to assert that the country, whose goods are subject to the tariff, pays the tariffs.
If tariffs are as beautiful as he says they are, why does he apparently feel the need to lie about them?

Strategy for what? Since when does someone like you give a ---- about hurting anyone's feelings on an anonymous website? Frankly, I have no empathy for you MAGAts anymore. I'm just pushing back some of the same crap that you COnny clowns have been throwing for years.

Are you talking about when I mocked a sensationalized head line that said Hamas was beheading AND killing babies.
To which I said. They're beheading babies and then killing them? Talk about giving that 110%.
Which everyone but the most desperate of losers understood as a joke.
Did you have a point you were trying to make?
Or are you still crying about how I skull fkkked you so hard you had to reevaluate your worldviews?

Absolutely! Everyone but the wealthiest among us are getting a big tax HIKE thanks to Trump's tariffs.

When given the opportunity to help all Americans or only the wealthiest people in America, conservatives time and again choose to help only the wealthiest.
Because God forbid the government help people who aren't white.
