re: The reported tariff exceptions are fake news

I now accept that opinion as my own until I read a post that changes it. Until then. He's not a great President. He's the greatest President.

I appreciate your sense of humor

"You just don't understand, man."

Tariffs go up. Tariffs go down.

You can't explain that.

Trump appears to be lost.

If so, a big oof to border and customs who are the ones who released the exemptions. LINK

There was a separate EO that put 20% tax on all items coming from prc and Hong Kong that are valued $800 or less.

This is the fentanyl tax.



And if you actually read the harmonized schedule it says shite like this.

The initial reporting on this is not 100% accurate.


Best thing to do is read the actual executive orders and read through the harmonized schedule.



I’m assuming you at least read through the harmonized schedule to know what those numbers you posted even meant.

He actually said that in a truth social or whatever post a while ago. He was talking about tariffs. It went something like: "Will there be pain? Yes. Maybe. Maybe not."

It is a perfect quote for much of what has gone on.

not Seldom. Yet with this line of thinking, is Nancy Pelosi

Pelosi? lol. Thanks for hanging a big juicy meatball right over the plate for me.

So with that line of thinking how does a meager salaried congresswoman obtain a net worth of $240 million dollars? Inquiring minds can’t wait for your answer.

And when you finish vomiting all over your keyboard for tossing me that meatball, let us know your age and net worth.

certainly find the woman nauseating. Yet the point here this may not be a political loadstar you actually want to follow. Bill Gates has a much higher net worth than Donald Trump yet to hell with Gates’ vision

Thanks man I needed a hardy chuckle to get my bowels moving then I’m off to bed!

That’s all you got? A limp wristed balk like that? YOU. Brought up that “nauseating woman” as a shiny star counter point to Trump

So it’s now incumbent upon YOU to answer the damn question. How on earth could Nancy Pelosi, who spent her whole life living off of a congressional salary amass such a stunning quarter of a Billion dollars net worth?
