Our President finds Ecomonics & Math Really, Really Hard...

 

He did it. He really fucking did it (see previous post). How stupid can Stupid be? $3.1 Trillion smackers stupid. That's pretty stupid. There is no good reason to crash the global economy, unless you are super-stupid, or you hate the USA and everyone else in the world too.

Hell, Economics and Math, turns out they are hard for Mr. MAGA-Stupid. Maybe get a 5 year old kid to explain why this all is batshit stupid:

There’s a fundamental problem with Donald Trump’s new trade policy: it fails a test that actual 5th graders can pass. I know this because I tried explaining his “Liberation Day” trade plan to one last night. Here’s how that conversation went:

“Imagine you want to buy a toy at a store which costs $50. You pay for the toy and walk away with it. The President looks at that transaction and says ‘wait, you paid the store $50 and the store paid you nothing, therefore the store is stealing from you. To “fix” this, I’m going to tax the store $25. From now on that same toy costs $75.”

The 5th grader looked at me like I was crazy. “Whaaaaaaat? None of that makes sense. If I pay for something, it’s not stealing. And taxing the store seems stupid, and then everything is more expensive. Why would anyone do that? That can’t be how it works.”



Yes, kid, unfortunately, idiotically, that is how this ridiculous tariff idea works. Yikes. MAGA-stupid rules!
