"Trump says he’s not backing down on tariffs, calls them ‘medicine’ as markets reel"

No matter how hard the #Republicans and #Trump lie, this has nothing to do with "returning jobs to American soil" and rebuilding the United States as some sort of 1950s all-industries global powerhouse

It has entirely to do with graft and baksheesh:

"BAKSHEESH is payment (such as a tip or bribe) to expedite service"

Come groveling to Trump on your knees, kiss Trump's ...

... ring

and see what sort of a deal Trump is willing to cut you

Limited Offer! Get yours while the supplies last...

“Rep Issa just asked Republican leaders on their conference call if they could get a briefing from the admin on the Trump tariffs.

The Hill has been largely left in the dark on what the admin is trying to accomplish. GOP lawmakers have been left trying to make sense of the mishmash of a message coming from various corners of the admin.”
-J Sherman

A positive sign, even MAGA Congressman Issa is concerned about Trump’s #tariffs.

"You’re not born fascist, you become one. And you don’t necessarily stay one forever.

But you can’t stop someone from being a fascist by showing empathy or endless understanding.

You don’t convert them to beat them. You have to beat them first to convert them.
They’ll stop being fascists once they’re defeated."

I want to share a few words from Michel Feher, a French researcher who works on the French far-right's political tactics to reach the working class
because clearly the American republicans are doing the same thing and the democratic party gets it completely wrong.

#USpol#maga#fascism

340 Mio people in the US
245 Mio eligible to Vote
155 Mio people voted in 2024
_77 Mio voted for Trump

Of these 77 Mio people many have serious buyers remorse, Some polls claim 60% were ok Trump policies pre Trump tariffs.

46 Mio MAGA people
My guess is this number is down to somewhere 20-30 Mio hard core MAGA.

Trump support is somewhere between 6 and 16% of the US population.

Adolf Trump, Elon Himmler and the Republican Nazi Party need to be taken down and those businesses that support Trump’s fascist agenda should be boycotted whenever possible. Let their greed and complicit alliance with Trump be their own undoing.

Thousands of protesters gathered in Washington and across the U.S. on Saturday, part of some 1,200 demonstrations that were expected to form one of the largest single days of protest against President Donald Trump. japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/ #worldnews #politics #us #donaldtrump #republicans #democrats #elonmusk
