Trump lied?!?!?! But that hasn’t happened since the last time he opened his mouth!!

Call out his MAGA and GOP supporters, too.

Call out his Dark Money sponsors who are profiting from the orchestrated chaos.

Stop letting him manipulate us with his lies. Call him out.

But then we would need an actual functioning MSM, you know, actual journalists who take apart the rapey felon’s illogical and illegal proclamations and orders. The idiotic pundits and sane washers on media outlets have been useless tools for the republican/ magat propaganda parade for the past decade, paving the way for this disaster presidency and approving the grifting, scamming, and corruption being committed in our faces. Dems are calling out the truth, but lies and propaganda get the most attention, unfortunately and Americans can’t seem to tell the difference when they are being lied to.

Exactly. All of that is on my wish list. For now, all I can do is muster up some self accountability and continue to speak out. Spread more words for a healthy contagion.

What about the damages done? What happens to the high tariffs already paid by American businesses? What happens to those dock workers fired by the first load of empty ships? What happens because of orders not placed?

What did tRump say? Something to the effect of “minor temporary disruptions for the greater good.” Wish he’d used that as a campaign slogan. We might still have the stable world economy that Biden left us!

It is interesting to note that some trusted news sources are still looking at it as an actual agreement, for example, see https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/12/china-us-agree-pause-trade-war-trump.

What is the truth here? I want to see trusted references.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/white-house-deal-china-chinese-call-consensus/story?id=121694971. This appears to be the "real" story. No "trade deal". "Consensus" to de-escalste indtead. Story above might be considered a fair reading of the situation.

He won't remember 90 seconds from now let alone a 90 day pause...why are we not stopping him. How bad does it have to get?

Alexandra Barcus's avatar

Crap. I am so worried about all the small businesses. I assume too shelves will remain empty. Prices will go up in case the tariffs go into effect. And there will be market volatility. After the UK and China, will anyone bother to try to make “deals”? What’s the point? And Trump may change his mind at any minute.

Breaking News! Trump breathed!

Surprised ? He is a proven lying liar 🤥

Did anyone truly expect anything else from the President of Stupidity.

Trump wants to be seen as “King of the Deal.”

What Trump has really done is raise American taxes by $115 Billion dollars without representation. This is on top of the $373 Billion he already taxed us for the rest of the worlds goods. Roughly $3500 /per household. The largest tax increase in history all without representation.

I agree it's also because his rating numbers have plummeted

At this point, I’ll take anything and just pray for him to kick the bucket!
