You might get the impression by the title of this article that I’m a little upset. Well, you are right.
Trump backed down again, and of course I’m glad that he did, just one month after he backed down the first time over tariffs. I’m not mad because he backed down. I’m mad because of the chaos he has personally created, the pain that people have already suffered, and now he can stop the pain by HIS choosing, when he didn’t have to inflict it in the first place. He thinks he is more than a king. He thinks he is God. He feels he has the right to play with our lives at his whim. That’s why I am mad. TRUMP IS EVIL.
The second thing I’m mad about is because the U.S. Congress is allowing the president to initiate tariffs, when in fact POTUS does not have that power. It belongs to Congress and ONLY Congress can initiate a tariff. So why are we going through this? It’s because Republicans control all three branches of government so they continue to be silent and let Trump do his damage because they themselves are also COWARDS.
Wall Street was the greatest example today that has caught on to Donald Trump’s tactics and what it would take to get him to back down from tariffs. Trump watched the stock market intently today, and just 20 minutes from closing, he makes the announcement that he is suspending his own tariffs. But by then, it was too late. Does Wall Street know that he means that he won’t initiate them again? The markets still crashed. Well they don’t have to guess, because in his announcement, he stated that he was suspending the tariffs until April 2nd. No big deal right? Even though it just so happens to be a few days before TAX DAY. That is and will be ANOTHER stupid and cowardly move by president Trump if he implements tariffs right before tax day, or ever for that matter.
Wall Street knows that Trump is a pathological liar. When it comes to economics, Trump doesn’t understand a thing. So why did he back down? For one thing, the actual definition of a tariff forced him to back down. SO HE REALLY KNOWS WHAT A TARIFF IS! It doesn’t hurt the countries exporting to the United States, it hurts the American consumer who will use those products. It hurts people who purchase imported goods. That’s who it hurts. When the stock markets started to tank because of tariffs today, and millions of people and major businesses were being immediately effected, Trump backed down and now every country in the world knows that Trump is a COWARD. He stopped the tariffs just one day after he implemented them. It was important for him to inflict “pain”. Donald Trump labeled himself a coward when he initiated tariffs that he knew would hurt the American people and that he couldn’t posibilly continue with them, long term. He now realized that he can’t keep them in place in short term. Everyone knew that Trump would back down. And on April 2nd, he will back down again, but maybe a miracle will happen and he won’t initiate tariffs at all. He knows that the only citizens that will be most effected, especially by our closest neighbor of Canada will be the U.S. citizens. Will he ever apologize for implementing “PAIN” on the American people? Trump doesn’t even know what a simple apology is. He should be on the side of Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, Ukraine and people within Europe. But he’s not. He’s on the side of Putin. All democratic countries are outraged.
So why in his right mind does Trump continuously hurt his citizens? He takes pleasure out of it. He thinks it’s right that his people have to experience “PAIN” as he stated more than once and even indicated this admission in his ridicules 99 minute speech to a joint session of Congress last night. He rambled on and on in the longest speech to joint members of Congress, EVER. He always has to do everything more, including the ability to inflict punishment on his people.
Did you notice that he didn’t mention Medicaid and Social Security even once? Again, that will be in another post. Why not? But I’ll briefly touch on it here. Because he didn’t want to say publicly in that speech what he planned to do with those programs. It’s right out of the 2025 Republican playbook. But it’s no secret. He wants to cut the funds from both programs, and let’s not forget about Social Security. Just before the speech last night, he mentioned Social Security and stated that there would be no cuts. Like I said, Trump is a pathological liar. If he had his way, he would take funds from Social Security and believe me when I say that he will try. Mark my words., or prove me wrong. If Social Security is still around in another 6 months, your benefit will be drastically reduced, and at the same time Medicaid may not exist, with many slashes to Medicare. Costs for everything concerning medicine, services and anything medical will go up. But of course, Donald Trump just doesn’t care. He has the government take care of his medical needs at taxpayers expense of course.
Regarding imports, let’s talk about an import that Americans take advantage of every day and cannot live without. I will also discuss this in detail in a later post. That would be about COFFEE. Do you realize that not one ounce of coffee is every grown here in the United States? Really! Think about if the American people couldn’t make a cup of coffee in the morning because we could no longer import coffee. What would happen to Starbucks in the United States and Starbucks World Wide? Do you know that Starbucks employs almost 500,000 people world wide. People working to support coffee products total into the millions of people. No coffee, lost jobs, and lots pissed off people. There would be massive layoffs and business closings if we didn’t have that simple luxury of coffee. That’s what you would have. But Trump’s idea is that America should not be buying a single thing from another country. Not even coffee beans. He wants America to be completely self sufficient. That would be great in a Perfect World, but we all know that this is not the case. Every country in the world except North Korea, including Russia is involved in international trade, but Donald Trump doesn’t want that, because he wants everything his way or no way. He’s doing a super great job trying to isolate the United States of the America from the world. He’s trying to play God, but what he is demonstrating is that he is a Coward, not a leader that anyone can respect. He thinks he needs to be in the news each and every day. If the news is not about him, it’s not important. Even his Republican base is abandoning him because his policies and his actions are affecting them too, not just Democrats. Many voted for him, and now he’s taking their jobs. Why would he care? He will never run for re-election under the present rules in the Constitution unless he gets the ability to change the Constitution in his favor. And he is such an autocrat that he will try to do that at the end of his term, unless he finally gets tired enough as being the oldest president of the United States. After all, the way he is thinking, because the Chinese President XI now to be China’s permanent president just because he said he wanted to and has decided never to step down, Trump thinks he can do that too. Who cares what the Constitution says, because Donald Trump doesn’t care what’s in the Constitution. Will anyone stop him. Yes, tough times are ahead, but Americans need to push through all this nonsense and in four years, welcome in Democracy while hopes are up that the Democratic countries around the world will accept us back with open arms.
