I think someone needed his diaper changed, if only for this one line:

“I wanted to be a good boy,” Trump said, describing his relative restraint in issuing tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Trump said that tariffs under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 will remain “in place and in full force and effect”.

Being a “good boy” for your polycule is your business. At no point should it involve tariffs.

    This is hysterical, he never realizes when he accidentally tells the truth.

    “It’s my opinion that the court has been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think.

    This is the definition of Trumpism and the movements that created it. Way smaller than people would ever think.

    I’m ashamed that someone with this little self awareness became president this far into the 21st century.

    relative restraint

    You get 50%, you get 75%, you get 225%…

    Guy pulls numbers out of his ass for whatever dramatic effect he thinks he can make and then blames others as why the economy is in turmoil.

      It’s amazing how easily he pulls numbers out of his ass through his diaper.
