🎤 “Tariffs, Tantrums, and the Fine Art of Economic Arson”

A George Carlin-Style Rant on Trump’s Trade War Reboot

So, here we are again.

President Spray Tan has slapped tariffs on the global economy like it owes him money from a rigged poker game.

Ten percent across the board. More if you're Chinese. Or European. Or breathing in the general vicinity of imported steel.

And what’s the result?

• Germany’s growth forecast: ZERO.
• UK consumer confidence: lower than your drunk uncle’s credit score.
• PepsiCo, P&G, and Tesla? Bleeding money faster than a TikTok influencer with a crypto habit.
• And the IMF—the folks who usually lie to keep investors calm—downgraded the entire planet.

Bravo, Donnie. You managed to start a global recession with your Twitter thumbs and a Sharpie.

🏗️ The Logic of the Tariff Cult

They say tariffs will "bring jobs back."

 Yeah, and if I scream at my microwave, maybe it’ll give me a raise.

Here’s the thing, folks: you don’t win a trade war with a coupon book and a grudge.

You don’t help American workers by raising prices on everything they f***ing buy.

Steel’s more expensive?

So’s every car, can, and bridge.

Tariffs on electronics?

Hope you like paying $1,800 for a laptop that can’t even run Solitaire without crying.

And don’t forget: the companies aren’t “eating the cost.”

 They’re passing it on to you, because capitalism has the emotional depth of a vending machine.

💰 The Free Market, Now with Chains

And here's the kicker: the guy who preaches “free market” like it’s gospel just chainsaws global trade like he’s got beef with supply chains personally.

This isn’t protectionism. This is economic cosplay for guys who think Smoot-Hawley was a pornstar.

And somehow, somehow, these brain geniuses think it’s working.

“Look! American factories are hiring again!”

Yeah—for about thirty cents an hour because everything else in the economy is on fire.

 You can have jobs or dignity—not both, apparently.

📉 Recession by Design

This ain’t an accident.

 It’s a controlled demolition of the global economy—by people who don’t even know how to pronounce “macroeconomics,” let alone practice it.

They’re not protecting jobs.

 They’re protecting the narrative.

 That good ol’ red-blooded, steel-pounding, lunch-pailing myth of America—the one where everything costs five bucks, your house has a picket fence, and your factory job comes with a pension and a wife who brings you pie.

Newsflash: that America never existed.

And if it did?

These jackasses outsourced it thirty years ago and called it progress.

🧨 Final Thought?

This isn’t economic policy.

 This is revenge spending by a guy who lost Monopoly and now wants to bankrupt the board.

Tariffs don’t build anything.

 They just light the fuse and let the rest of us watch our wallets explode in slow motion.

And the worst part?

 He’s gonna blame immigrants, liberals, and electric cars while you pay $9.75 for a f***ing can of soup.
