Today's Tiedrich Rant: Sewer Clowns explain Donny's tariffs: 'fucked if we know'



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/sewer-clowns-explain-donnys-tariffs

“April 2nd is Liberation Day in America!!!” ... so decreed Mad King Donny in one of his late-night rage-blurts.

that’s the day Donny’s gonna tariff the shit out of … who, exactly? that’s the thing: no one has any clue. he keeps moving the goalposts, changing his mind on a daily basis, and it’s driving the markets crazy.

Donny’s got the emotional stability of a two-year-old melting down over a dropped ice cream cone, so he’s been threatening tariffs on whoever he happens to be beefing with on any given day. could be Canada, or the European Union. yesterday it was Russia, of all places.

it’s all one big fucktacular shitpile of incoherence — so naturally, the Sunday news show hosts had only one question for the Sewer Clowns: what the fuck’s the deal with these tariffs? here’s energy vampire Colin Robinson Kevin Hassett, grinning like a loon as he stares straight into the abyss and admits he doesn’t know shit about shit.

“and so President Trump has a long run vision of a golden age of America, and we’re working really really hard to get it out there in time. but I can’t give you any uh forward-looking guidance on what’s going to happen this week. the president has got a heck of a lot of analysis for him and he’s going to make the right choice, I’m sure.”

that’s basically a lot of words just to say fuck if I know.
