Summary
Trump snapped at a reporter who asked how much economic pain he was willing to inflict amid plunging markets triggered by his new tariffs.
Speaking after a weekend at his Florida resort, Trump dismissed speculation he was trying to crash the market, claiming tariffs would bring in “$1 trillion” and spur U.S. manufacturing.
When asked about a pain threshold for Americans, he called the question “so stupid,” arguing economic “medicine” was necessary to reverse decades of “stupid leadership.”
He insisted the strategy would make the U.S. “solid and strong again.”
It was always all about him. The election was the only way he was staying out of prison and the campaign was lie after lie after lie, telling his moron supporters what they wanted to hear, in order to secure their vote. He doesn’t give a shit about those people once they’ve posted their ballot.
