Panicked Trump Tries To Con American Workers Into Supporting His Tariffs

A very panicked Donald Trump tried to con American workers into supporting his tariffs by telling them a string of lies over the weekend. Trump got on Truth Social and claimed that the tariffs could possibly eliminate ALL income taxes on people making under $200,000 a year, something that's not even remotely possible. Trump's tariffs are barely pulling in more money than we were getting BEFORE the tariffs, nowhere near enough to eliminate income taxes on any income bracket.

During an appearance on ABC this past weekend, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent offered an incredibly smug and insanely stupid defense of Donald Trump's chaotic trade war, claiming that the President is using "strategic uncertainty" to keep our trade partners off their game. Bessent says that this gives Trump an upper hand in negotiations, then completely failed to offer any examples of how and when this has worked. 

According to a new analysis, Elon Musk's DOGE office has already cost US taxpayers a staggering $135 billion while they claim they have saved $160 billion in federal spending, based on the totals from their "wall of receipts." But because we know that many of those "receipts" were either already spent or otherwise not accurate, it is safe to assume at this point that DOGE has cost taxpayers WAY MORE than they have saved.

Trump appeared to call for physical violence against people who interrupt Republicans at their town hall events this past weekend in a post on Truth Social. Trump falsely claimed that Democrats are spending "a fortune" for these people to show up, in spite of a complete lack of evidence to suggest this is happening anywhere. He also said that Republicans need to have these people "ejected" from events, similar to how Marjorie Taylor Greene had people forcibly removed, tasered, and arrested at her recent event. This is little more than a clear call for violence against dissent.

Donald Trump is paying close attention to the fact that his poll numbers are in the gutter, he just doesn't believe ANY of the pollsters are telling the truth. Even though every poll across the board has come up with similar results showing that he's grossly unpopular, Trump believes they are all faking it and demanded that they be investigated for "election fraud" in an early morning tirade on Truth Social on Monday.
