Donald Trump and White House officials walked back a Friday announcement that there would be tariff exemptions on imported electronics.
In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump directly denied the tariff exemption announcement.
…
“This is really mind-boggling. If this was serious industrial policy, the main thing you want is certainty: ‘Here’s the tariff, it will be in place for the indefinite future, and you should plan accordingly,’” Dean Baker, an economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a left-leaning think tank, said, according to The Washington Post. “Here, it’s basically: ‘Come back next week and see what we’ve got.’ That’s no way to run an economy.”
There’s been rumblings of an impeachment attempt possibly happening because of these tariffs but I don’t trust the rumors. If Trump actually manages to get impeached over this or something else then I will eat my shoes. Feel free to screen shot to hold me accountable.
The GOP will never vote to impeach him. They’re cowards who are terrified of MAGAts.
Yeah that’s why I dont trust it. Our realistic best bet at getting rid of him would be when he collapses the economy and chaos erupts. Hopefully whoever our FDR 2 ends up being (if we get one ) could rally the troops and we could have a disturbed land of confusion moment lol. That song and video has been in my head alot lately.
