Two days after “Liberation Day”<\/em> (as Donald Trump likes to call the day he imposed his disastrous tariffs on the world), the stock market is once again in a tailspin, erasing much of the gains from the past few months and depleting the savings of millions of investors and especially retirees. It’s the worst decline since March of 2020, during COVID. And it’s a wholly self-inflicted economic apocalypse that Trump somehow regards as proof that everything is – in his own words – “going well.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Sure it is. It’s going to be just fine if you happen to have a few billion dollars and can spend your days playing golf and sailing on your superyacht. The rest of us need to just STFU and put our blind faith behind Dear Leader Trump who, despite having bankrupted four casinos, and presided over the last stock market crash, and has embraced the world’s wealthiest robber barons (Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Putin, etc.), is hailed by the MAGA cult as an infallible messiah.<\/p>\n

SEE THIS: TRUST IN TRUMP? That\u2019s the Only Solution Offered By the Trump Cult to Counter His Disastrous Tariffs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

As is often the case, the truth about many of America’s most prominent catastrophes has been summed up in the insightful political satire of The Daily Show<\/em>. Host Michael Kosta did a better analysis of Trump’s tariff fiasco than much of the mainstream media. He began by putting the blame for the nation’s ills where it belongs… On all of us.<\/p>\n

“Whether you like it or not, Republicans don’t want to hear your bitching, because we all knew this was coming.”<\/p>\n

“That’s right voters. You can bellyache all you want, but we all knew what we were voting for. Trump was very honest during the campaign that tariffs would drive prices higher, right? Right? RIGHT?”<\/p>\n

[Plays clip of Trump promising that tariffs would not drive prices higher]<\/em><\/p>\n

“Okay, technically he said prices wouldn\u2019t go up, but in his defense, he was lying. And you should have known that, so that\u2019s on you.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
