Also the bill is called United States Fair and Reciprocal Tariff Act or US FART
This has to be a joke.
please god let this be a joke
I was expecting explosives
This shatters the economic foundations of the Western World. In the event that Trump's plans here were to come to fruition, it would trigger a catastrophic collapse of the global economy -- particularly among Western nations.
stunning is stunningly inadequate to describe this.
With the way the title is I thought for a second that Trump was literally planning on sending people to blow up the WTO's HQ
"He makes the best deals! #MAGA!!"
Not really related, but fucking ridiculous, former advisor Cohn tried to convince Trump to keep a provision in NAFTA that lets companies sue foreign governments with a golf metaphor, and Trump didn't listen. The Trump Org. is threatening to sue Panama.
Trump needs to be removed from the presidency. He clearly lack the mental capabilities to function on his own, parroting the loudest person in the room before slipping into an Alzheimer's induced tangent.
The US FaRT act eh?
Boy this'll really piss off the libs.
Yeah, catastrophic collapses of the global economy are pretty high on the list of things we're not crazy about.
Trump bragged about creating the booming economy before he was even president, and sure, the emotional response that companies had improved the stock market, FAIR.
He can brag so long as he is also blamed if the economy collapses.
That means if anything happens to the economy under his administration, it's 100% is fault to the letter, every single aspect of it. Also, he should personally be held accountable for all of it. I am sure the second amendment people can understand.
If the entire world economy collapses. Blame Trump because he bragged and took gambles instead of riding it safe. It is 100% his fault and he caused it.
i guess it fits, really.
if the entire western economy collapses and we hit rock bottom, you can really only go up from there, even if it's bad.
so i mean, if he does this, he can finally make economic policies that'll make things 'better'
This has been said plenty of times before, but these guys must be petty as fuck if they're willing to get massively screwed over themselves just to see some other people suffer along with them.
"Trump supporters are willing to let Trump shit in their mouth if it means a liberal has to smell it"
I'd cross over from petty to sociopathic in some cases.
To assholes like that, it's not about the actual consequences. It's about scoring internet points so you can EPIC LULZ over liberals' "impotent rage" while the world burns, because it's the internet and nothing matters - oh wait, no it's not and yes it does.
They aren't petty, they are delusional and don't understand the consequences of what they're doing yet. I remember pro-brexit brits being the same way before the referendum.
This man is going to make so many innocent people suffer
We're going to be feeling the after effects of his presidency for the next 30 years
And things like this could straight up cripple the entire west.
Fucking President Trump is ordering the US FART act, I don't even know what to say anymore.
Has this all just been one big dumb joke? Because I'm not laughing.
Brain-in-a-vat solipsists must be having a field day right now.
Shit like this makes me damned certain I'm a brain in a vat
That's his entire fanbase. Trump supporters only support him because he makes the libtards cry.
The world brought into great peril all due to an enormous wet fart, let loose by a psychotic old fart.
As scary as it is, it has zero chance of passing. As evil and fascist as GOP is becoming, they won't be dumb enough to collapse the world economy unless they had something big to gain from it.
But they do have something to gain from crashing the economy.. something huge. They can blame the Democrats to solidify 2020.
The only silver lining if this somehow makes it through congress: all the headlines that declare "congress passes fart"
maybe we could all laugh at those headlines together while waiting in the breadline
What's worse, doing all the terrible things the orange and his party have done or being the opposition party who lets all these things happen since they're paid to do nothing
(not that they can do anything or that I believe that about dems)
