I just will never not think it's really funny that the current Republican party is so enslaved by the most retarded figurehead they've ever had that they're now the ones feverishly defending a new tax regime imposed on Americans by the president.
I know it's stating the obvious at this point, but still. Imagine if a Democrat president was the one who was unilaterally waging a trade war WITH THE ENTIRE WORLD, for no really clear reason or objective, raising prices on just about EVERYTHING in the process, slowing the economy and creating an atmosphere of economic uncertainty for years. The same people defending the tariffs now would be the ones screeching about presidential overreach, dictatorship, calling it unconstitutional and economic suicide, etc. But because it's Donald Trump, it's "tax me harder daddy."
That's what'll always get me, too, til the day I die. That it was THIS guy they were so devoted to. Who looks like some grotesque caricature of a bloated old billionaire who's never worked a day in his life and can barely string coherent sentences together.
