we actually run a trade surplus with Brazil, so according to Trump's fucktarded logic they should be entitled to tariff the US. But in a shock to everyone, I'm sure, he throws out 50%.

Quote

U.S. total goods trade with Brazil were an estimated $92.0 billion in 2024. U.S. goods exports to Brazil in 2024 were $49.7 billion, up 11.3 percent ($5.0 billion) from 2023. U.S. goods imports from Brazil in 2024 totaled $42.3 billion, up 8.3 percent ($3.2 billion) from 2023. The U.S. goods trade surplus with Brazil was $7.4 billion in 2024, a 31.9 percent increase ($1.8 billion) over 2023.

At this point, I'm convinced that these tariff letters (and really anything he can sign his name to) are just endorphin releases for Trump.  If he's feeling down, he gets someone to create an executive order or a tariff letter or whatever, he signs his name with multiple sharpies and great flourish, and immediately he feels better.

The only thing we have going for us right now is that people who are fine with a dictator usually insist on a competent dictator.

Trump with no one to provide guard rails is such an incompetent buffoon that our economy and relationships with former allies will be fucked up so catastrophically that people will think fondly of the Joe Biden robot.

American should get used to being thought of as asshole leopards once they get outside of the USA.    It will take decades for the world to forgive us for this shit show that is the Trump administration (which is doing its best to destroy the world’s economies).

The right wing propaganda machine is very strong. I thought his disastrous buffoonery in 2017-2021 woke people up but I was very wrong. He could destroy the economy, isolate us diplomatically, get us into war, collapse our population, and destroy government services and people will still think he is great. 

I appreciate the Leopards eating Faces thread but really it is all cope. We cannot deal with the fact we are a loser nation of brainwashed idiots, so well tell ourselves they will come around. They won't. At least not any time soon.

I guess we'll see what happens when the bird flu mutates into something transmissible from human to human.  Hopefully we're able to pull together an mRNA vaccine in short order, and at that point we'll see if these idiots stick to their guns.  With a mortality rate of ~50%, that might end up addressing the issue rather quickly.
