When ABC News’ Terry Moran asked Pres. Donald Trump to respond to voters who may be concerned that rising costs are not what they “signed up for,” Trump responded: “Well, they did sign up for this actually.”
He’s not wrong, they did sign up for it. They’re just too stupid to realize it. Trump’s last trade war required a bailout of over 10 billion to rescue farmers, and somehow they’re surprised the second time around?
Can’t argue with that. It’s not like he hid anything. He is doing exactly what he said he was going to do. It’s not like these morons couldn’t have googled “what is a tariff” before election day and that’s not Trump’s fault that they didn’t. This is something I actually agree with Trump on. Imagine having so many loyal fans and then suddenly they’re acting surprised and angry that you’re doing exactly what you promised to do. It’s kind of absurd.
He actually did lie repeatedly about tariffs. The Daily Show did a great segment on it.
He lied about the impact they’d have every time he was asked about it publicly during the campaign.
