I didn’t know a person could be this stupid
So far this week Donald Trump has declared himself the “King of Israel” and the “chosen one,” attacked Jews for being “disloyal,” and tried to punish Denmark because it’s refusing to sell him Greenland. Now he’s trying out a new strategy for getting himself hauled away in a straitjacket.
Earlier today, Donald Trump attacked Fed Chair Jay Powell in a way that caused the stock market to quickly drop more than five hundred points. Trump then tweeted a bad joke about the stock market freefall, causing it to end up closing down more than six hundred points. Now that the market has closed, Trump has tweeted something that should ensure the market continues plummeting the next time it’s open.
After the market closed, Trump tweeted this: “Starting on October 1st, the 250 BILLION DOLLARS of goods and products from China, currently being taxed at 25%, will be taxed at 30%. Additionally, the remaining 300 BILLION DOLLARS of goods and products from China, that was being taxed from September 1st at 10%.”
That’s right, now that Donald Trump has seen that his tariffs are destroying the United States economy in real time, he’s decided to increase his disastrous tariffs. Then, like a lunatic standing on a street corner yelling things that no one wants to hear, Trump added “Thank you for your attention to this matter!” The only way anyone will thank this guy is if he resigns.
