"Everything he touches turns to shit". That's an age old quote about Trump

Once again it proves true and he is furious about it.

His tariffs have gone totally sideways on him and he is panicking. He recently claimed that he not only “runs America “ but that he runs the world too!

Well guess what, the world answered back by saying we will not cooperate with your stupid tariffs, or much of anything else. They are moving on from us.

When Trump decided to place tariffs he thought he could force other countries, especially China, Mexico and Canada, to bend over and take it without complaint. Well that turned on him in short order.

Ports and trucking in America are preparing for extreme reductions. Christmas orders for kids things are down 60%. Trumps response to that particular item is that kids can have two dolls instead of 30. I don’t know what drug his brain was on when he said that but isn’t the very foundation of republicanism XMAS….at least for white people?

The world has clearly said to the Orange Anus “fuck you, Anus” and is preparing to be quite happy with the new world order that excludes America.

Everything he touches turns to shit. The world used to count on America, remember the ‘shining light on a hill’ ? Not only has Trump screwed us economically but he has demonstrated that we cannot be trusted as a world leader anymore . There is nothing more important in life than your honor and trustworthiness…NOTHING. Just ask your spouse or children. It’s your most valuable currency/commodity in life.

Trump offers none of that, instead he offers hate, fear, anger along with cheating, lying and criminality. Along with the human beings he has deported, he has deported American honor and trustworthiness. The consequences of his actions will remain with us for years, maybe permanently, after he is gone.

We will wallow in our gun saturated society, swilling beer while watching (insert your sport), whining about the cost of (insert your desired item you can’t afford anymore) and wondering why the rest of the world has moved on from our faux fantasies of superiority.

Everything he touches turns to shit! Nothing truer was ever said about him.

1. I think since there haven't been empty shelves at walmart yet, people haven't started to realize

They think its just fearmongering, while we all look at the reality. MAGAs won't realize until its too late, and then they'll blame Biden for it, until they can't blame him anymore. This tariff debacle is 100% on them.

3. Pretty sure the "news" sources my right wing family watch, aren't discussing shipping & trucking transit times.

About two weeks before the election I had an exchange with one & OMG!!! They are so misinformed it was shocking. I really didn't think it was that bad. They hadn't heard of Proj 2025 & believed the Biden economy was terrible. We are so fucked as long as stations like Fox & Newsmax are allowed to call themselves news. I don't care that they are on cable, as a country we should be able to legislate that if you call yourself a "news station" you can't lie or misrepresent.

2. I heard a fact about his gambling tenements that I didn't realize previously

Donnie Dollhands owned casinos that competed with each other, so they were competing against one another. Instead of a single money-making factory, he needed more gilded tenements - multiplying associated those associated costs. If he was trying to profit, Mr. Fart of the Deal sure went about it in the wrong way.

6. He really has no idea how the world or business works

He believes he can bully and cheat his way through any situation and he views principles and morality as weaknesses. But damn, building TWO casinos in one city? That is a special kind of stupid or as I've come to believe, on some level he sets himself up for failure.

I’m sure there’s corroborating evidence if someone wants to investigate.

Make America such a third-world shithole (his words) that no one would ever want to migrate here. No more immigrants, the MAGGOT dream.

The Fascist Grifter is a reflection of the VERY WORST in America ...

...but he is also bringing out the VERY BEST among millions of Americans who are taking to the streets and standing up for Civil Rights, Constitutional rule of law, and economic justice.
