They thought they’d vote anti-tax first, then pushover trump on the tariffs when they had the time. Looks like they were wrong.

More faces being eaten.

I hope he ruins all of them. Every last one.

You had four whole years of Trump to realize he never jokes around, he doesn't bluff, and he's never going to pivot, change directions, or admit he made a mistake. He means what he says and there is no nuance or subtext.

Might be a bit of a contrarian take, but at this point I think Trump needs to have a gigantic fuck up to drive people to the streets in anger, South Korea style. One of those 'we need our medicine before we can get better' moments.

For some reason tens of millions of people buy his "'I'm the greatest - only I can save you - they're evil and stupid" rhetoric.

So it's going to take a truly epic fuck up that he can't bullshit his way out of - and that the media can't ignore - for people to finally see that him and his cronies are all gigantic pieces of shit.

"Stupid CEOs are left dumbfounded when a greedy selfish narcissist who only listens to those who pay him the most is a greedy selfist narcissist."

I know CEOs are never the smartest people, but Jesus Christ. Milk spoiling in the summer heat is less obvious.

Wait, what CEO is surprised that Trump won't look at data and make decisions on that? Anyone this foolish should have their stock shorted.

Looks like Americans are about to go through their version of brexit. Good luck, it's going to be rough.

Did you only now notice that he only cares about himself?

Trump’s late-night social media announcements have blindsided both his advisers and business leaders, leaving them scrambling to react.

He said he was going to do this long ago, dipshits. "Seriously, but not literally?"

All part of Putin's plan. He probably gave him the advice on tariffs.

unilateral

authoritarian*

FTFY

Just increase taxes on the wealthy...

All tariffs will do is put the additional costs onto the working class.

He has already shown them what he wants them to do.

Just donate $1 million to him and he will help your business

Can someone explain why no one takes Trump at his word?

Leopards, faces, etc.

After the great depression, tariffs were implemented and failed to do anything other than fuck over the American people.

The event that finally ended the Great Depression was the United States' entry into World War II, which significantly boosted the economy through increased demand for war materials and created millions of jobs in defense industries. While President Roosevelt's "New Deal" programs aimed to alleviate the Depression, they did not fully end it. The massive production needs of World War II essentially pulled the US out of the Depression. The government spending on war materials created a significant economic stimulus.

What are they expecting, exactly? Even Musk was saying a day before the election that Trump was going to tank the economy. I'm sure Trump will just say "things are going to get worse before they get better, but believe you me when they get better, you're all going to be filthy rich!" The typical Trump supporter will assume he's talking to them, but he'll only be talking to those who are already filthy rich.

I'm going to laugh so hard if Trump has an "apparent suicide" and at least one cop says it's not suspicious, if they can do it to whistleblowers who risk their profits, surely this qualifies?

Not saying it's likely, just that I absolutely will laugh, probably for days.

This is literally the most predictable outcome.

Have they tried calling the CEO crises hotline?

Good, destroy eachother.

Whats going to happen is what happened last time. Trump proposes tariffs on products from [industry]. Business leaders from said [industry] bends knee, kisses ring and ass, donates cash, and tariffs never materializes.

Man... Side with Trump, side with CEOs. This is one of those "Can't both teams lose" situations. Ha

Oh no! The leopards are eating faces! Who could have foreseen this?
