Trump The Tax Man
Let's talk about Donald Trump's greatest talent—no, not leadership (lol), not policy (double lol), and certainly not math (remember when he tried to buy Greenland?). No, his real gift is convincing his MAGA faithful to chug another gallon of Kool-Aid while he tosses their wallets into a woodchipper.
The Latest Economic Self-Own: 125% Tariffs on China
Because why gently squeeze American consumers when you can full-nelson suplex them into a depression?
TARIFFS. ARE. TAXES.
([Pauses, stares directly into camera like you're the MAGA uncle at Thanksgiving]
Yes, you in the back, with the "Let's Go Brandon" hat—TARIFFS ARE TAXES. When Trump slaps a tariff on Chinese goods, Walmart, Amazon, and every other store passes that cost straight to YOU.
- China doesn't pay.
- Mexico doesn't pay.
- The tooth fairy doesn't pay.
YOU PAY.
"But Trump Says It Hurts China!"
Oh, sweet summer child. Let's check the receipts from his 2018-2019 tariff tantrum:
- 300,000 jobs vaporized.
- Farmers got $28 billion in corporate welfare (because nothing says "free market" like socialism for agribusiness).
- Manufacturing jobs? Still gone.
- Prices? Higher.
- Trump's ego? Swollen like a tick on a Fox News host's scalp.
The Only People Dumber Than Trump?
The MAGA faithful who keep voting for him—twice—and are somehow still surprised when he screws them over.
- He bankrupted a CASINO. The business where the house always wins—unless you're Trump.
- He could burn down an orphanage, and MAGA would blame the orphans for "being too flammable."
- He doesn't love America—he loves himself. And you? You're just the suckers funding his grift.
The Bottom Line
Trump's tariffs are a tax hike on everyone, a middle finger to economic reality, and a direct wealth transfer—from your wallet to his fragile ego.
So next time you hear "Tariffs! Trade wars are good!", remember:
You're not "owning the libs." You're getting owned.
