He’s probably just letting them pile up so he knows where to send the presidential hit squads in the very near future.

Mugshots means they were processed. I’m not holding my breath for that one with this DOJ.
I see where the confusion is. It’s 2 things:
Tariffs were originally sold as being for China and any company that threatened to take production outside our borders in order to stimulate the US economy while not harming the average American…wild applause. But also lies. He is now adding tariffs to anyone(countries) that annoys him. He altered the deal, let us pray he doesn’t alter it further. Spoiler, he will. Nobody wanted this. Canada tariffs aren’t a thing before last week, AFTER he was elected. Didn’t really uphold the campaign promise if he never made it. At least we agree that he isn’t the type of person to keep a promise anyway. That’s why there is an article on the community for THEONION…
The only reason I jumped in this thread was because you “attacked” someone for saying that the American citizens didn’t want or vote for any of this, or is that my fever dream again. So by your logic EVERYONE has to agree with Trumps decision because YOU don’t allow for anyone to disagree with Trump and calling that democracy. Why, because he won the popular vote? Again, you “attack” those that disagree with your POV. You are right, you didn’t say everyone voted for Trump but you also don’t think it matters that people have disagreements with his actions/policies/rhetoric/ramblings(because at this point they are the same thing) because like you said “you can’t get out of it this time” as if we, the people that DIDN’T vote for him, are responsible.
A big factor that lead to Trump winning was because of all of the minority support, not just the protest non-votes. Don’t forget the voter suppression, or my personal favorite election fraud. Minorities, specifically Latinos, are already the first to protest on any significant scale, not that it matters. LGBTQ is probably next in size. As more time passes and he continues to fuck over the American people, and ultimately the world, I see that popularity starting to wane. Especially after he starts firing more people and runs out of people to blame for everything hitting the fan. Buyers remorse is real. Not that it matters with all of the talk about having voting fixed so good for the next election. We couldn’t stop him as an ordinary citizen, what the fuck makes you think we can stop him as “lord king” even with your precious popular vote.
Here’s your exact quote:
you can’t get out of it this time. he won the popular vote. not voting is voting.
So these tariffs are the will of the people or the will of the president? In your comment, you “scolded/teased/attacked” someone for saying that there is a difference. Your argument is that “the people”, ie everyone, blindly accepted and approved of whatever idiotic policy simply because Trump won the popular vote. I don’t accept that.
I’m sorry but that’s just not how democracy works. Remember let’s go Brandon, remember #notmypresident, remember those “I did that” stickers, clearly this goes both ways. Being a democracy means that there is supposed to be some middle ground, some compromise, as well as room for dissent. Trump doesn’t do that, we are watching democracy die in real time and you think that this is what the American people want. Some, sure. But not all. I thought the dictator was supposed to be the guy in the White House, not some random little bitch in the comments section of one of the smallest social media platforms on earth crying that the the popular vote doesn’t allow for anyone to disagree with the president.
I’m the one agreeing with the guy that said these tariffs are solely the presidents fault and idea. You are the one saying they are the American peoples fault and idea because Trump won the popular vote. Am I missing something here?
no one said all, or everyone.
You did.
That was the whole point of your first reply in this thread. Top comment is literally a comment saying this is the will of the president and not the people. You responded with “that’s wrong, they’re the same thing” like they are magically the same just because he won. Basically saying that regardless of who they voted for, this is what they voted for. Because that’s how democracy works right. You are the one saying that our votes/voices don’t matter just because Trump won. Rebuplicans famously disagree with any democratic president and their policies so I don’t understand why I have to agree with a republican one. Someone else then came in and started spitting out numbers like that was the conversation. It wasn’t.
Trump and his cronies lost everytime they ran on a Project 2025 platform, so much so that Trump even distanced himself. When that didn’t work he went to the classics, his greatest hits. And now that he’s in the White House we have slowly watched him back track on some of his promises. Angering/disappointing some of his base in the process.
But getting back on track,
lol tariffs aren’t gonna hurt Americans…
It’s funny that you got upvoted for saying the same thing that got me downvoted
are you claiming election fraud?
Kinda, yeah. The conversation was that we don’t get to complain because “everyone” voted for Trump. Basically implying that all of America wanted this. I just expressed my doubt that the candidate with a history of election fraud got the numbers that are claimed. More importantly though, there were still plenty of people who did not vote for Trump and are upset about current events.
Did lots of people sit out the election in protest, yes. Did lots of people move changing the demographics of certain areas over the past few years, yes. Nothing changes the fact that he has more followers in high places than he did during his 1st term. I remember Trump wanting to find 11,000 votes last election. How many did he find this time with more support?
I’m getting downvoted for essentially saying “I didn’t vote for any of this and Trump probably cheated anyways since he has a history of it now” in response to you saying that there is no difference between the will of ALL of the American people and the Commander in Cheese and I think that’s hilarious. Apparently being American means being pro Trump now, no matter what. Trump didn’t need evidence or facts when he claimed election fraud back in May 2020 months before the election even started. So why are you asking me for receipts, this is a vibes based reality we live in now. Trump saved California from the fire but all the big cities are still being burned by criminals and immigrants right. At least that’s what the news and Trump are reporting.
I commented saying that I don’t think Trump got 77,302,580 votes. Get it now? Bringing up Bidens and Harris’s vote count is irrelevant.
Just a reminder that there have already been actual attempts on the donvict himself as well as alledged ones on fElon. I suspect that whoever ultimately does will end up being someone who voted for this.
Winning the popular vote doesn’t mean everyone voted for him. Besides, realistically he didn’t even do that.
Memory Stick too big? Let me introduce Memory Stick Duo.
I remember when the GOP was worried that an African immigrant in the White House would ruin the country.
Department of Government Efficiency. Headed by Elon Musk, the guy responsible for sending that crypto coin to the moon with a single tweet. This is America now. One big meme.
He’s just thinking of the future without migrants. He’s giving them a head start as farmers is all. You don’t have time for education or WiFi on the farm. Especially since they probably won’t be able to afford electricity either.
Is this the new don’t ask don’t tell policy.
Finance, credit, investing, retirement, savings. How money works. I’ve worked with way too many younger folks that don’t know anything about finance.
Is plugging it in an option? USB?
Yes, the wheel is painted like Patrick from SpongeBob. I’m asking if the tire on the wheel is shedding. It’s a spare tire for emergencies. However, if it’s shedding then it kinda defeats the purpose.
