Maybe if the guy ever paid attention to anything other than Fox News propaganda he might be aware of the situation though, but sure just say whatever sounds convenient to the camera. It's pretty much common wisdom among everybody but his base now that the guy has absolutely no loving idea about what's going on around him or in the world politically unless it directly relates to his image at which point it's ALL he can pay attention too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IamdqXfOpSc I pretty much imagine this is what it's like trying to brief the guy on literally anything.

"Rep. Rashida Tlaib tears up while reading death threat at white supremacy hearing" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rashida-tlaib-gets-emotional-while-reading-death-threat-at-white-supremacy-hearing/ quote:A House Oversight Committee hearing on white supremacy and domestic terrorism took a personal turn on Tuesday when freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan broke down in tears during her testimony while reading a death threat sent to her office. She was questioning Michael McGarrity, assistant director of the FBI's counterterrorism division, about the Justice Department's handling of domestic terrorism. June 5, 2019 Included video. Sorry if I missed it here.

Otteration posted:"Rep. Rashida Tlaib tears up while reading death threat at white supremacy hearing" "Can't be domestic terrorism if you're white, sorry." was basically what I got out of the AOC segment of that hearing. The actual response was more along the lines of "it has to involve a foreign terrorist group to be considered terrorism" even though they have no problem calling any terrorist attack by Muslims terrorism even when there isn't a proven link.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:What does this even mean It means Trump is still confused, and believes his tarrifs are a tax on China, rather than a tax on US citizens and businesses. "we're getting 25 percent on $250 billion" in Trump speak translates to a mental model of "The US is getting 25% back of the $250 billion trade deficit back into the US Treasury because of my tariff on China." He doesn't know what a trade deficit means, nor does he know even the most basic definition of a tarrif. This carries over to his supporters as well. I have talked with a number of Trump supporters now about the tariffs, and they are 100% convinced that China is paying the tarrifs to the US. When confronted with the real definition of a tariff, they are both confused, and suspect that maybe Trump is just calling his "china tax" a tariff mistakenly.

Nah I’m not so sure. I mean obviously not every single member of his staff is party to actual treason. But a shitload of the higher ups are definitely party to crimes that are anathema to American interests and national security, which actually could fit into the treason category.

So you guys ready for Monday's tariffs on Mexico? I've been stocking up on Avocados for work lately with our last orders on Sunday. They usually are unripe since they're cheaper than the ripe and takes like 5 to 7 days to be riped so hopefully it won't take too long for Trump to eventually come up with some B.S. to drop the tariffs. If not... Well I don't know what the reaction would be when everyone see all the food prices jumping up overnight at the supermarket 😦

The actual response was more along the lines of "it has to involve a foreign terrorist group to be considered terrorism" even though they have no problem calling any terrorist attack by Muslims terrorism even when there isn't a proven link. I think part of it is that they would have to classify a lot of their past actions as being terrorism if they didn't have that little "must be foreign group" to count conditional. US history is rife with some pretty awful poo poo. The powers that be have a vested interest in not having to take a look at any of it too closely. If white america could be called terrorist, white america would have to own up to having BEEN terrorists. It's a hard sell.

The man is an idiot, to be sure, but I think this sort of misinformation is performative. It's not that he doesn't know or hasn't been told that tariffs are taxes, it just benefits him and his followers for the base to believe that's true. Like how most people are totally confused about how marginal taxes work, it benefits the people with all the money at the expense of the poor and uneducated. They like that poo poo.
