I wake up at 4:00am and walk out onto my porch. Staring out over the city, I sip my bottled water and keep my spine American STRAIGHT as I know that our new tariffs will keep the dirty Fentanyl off the street. We need that pressure to fix the border.
6:00am: Trump has announced Tariffs on the entire world. Of course. Fentantyl? That's not a problem any more. If we don't Tariff the entire world, how ever will we bring our manufacturing back? We're entering into a golden age of prosperity and everyone should BUY BUY BUY. It's LIBERATION DAY after all, and America's economic surge is taking off now, today, and taking us all with it thanks to the tariffs. I spend my life's savings.
8:14am: Eating my recycled toast, Trump says that there will be some pain. I nod my head along. Of course, it's so clear now. Manufacturing? That will take years to get here, obviously. Just like he said all along. We'll all take a hit to save AMERICA though. Those pining for a golden age are liberal babies, unwilling to suffer for our glorious future.
8:21am: The tariffs are reduced to 10%. Obviously, this was all a negotiating tactic. The golden age is here, now, and Trump has outplayed the entire world. A tear rolls down my cheek as a servant brings me my $50 omelette. We don't need to bring manufacturing back. The high tariffs were just a bluff. It's all coming together. It's all going to work.
8:23am: Trump has denied that he ever wanted tariffs. Of course, they're stupid economic policy, he should just get rid of income tax instead and shrink the government, who needs tariffs? Tariffs won't do anything.
