Andrew Egger of the Bulwark wrote about this brain fart this morning 🦨🦨🦨 And he actually found a “thought” buried in this pile of shit.

"Childcare is important, so we won’t forget to pay for it when the tariff windfall kicks in."

So why didn't the tariff windfall kick in during Trump's first term⁉️And why didn't Mexico pay for the wall⁉️ And why didn't Covid disappear when it got warm⁉️

Tardigret's avatar

If it were up to me, the press and debate moderators would nail the Mango Mussolini with the "Where's the wall and when is Mexico going to pay for it" question at every opportunity.

of course not...then they wouldn't be helping Biden. OMG! I wonder who has the balls of journalists in a vice so tight they can't tell the truth.

Lisa's avatar

Thank you for sharing this Mary! I had no idea that this happened! I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that the msm didn’t report this and ask the angry yam about it at every hate rally! 😉

Kerry Truchero's avatar

Yes, a thousand times yes.

Jill Scipione's avatar

Didn't Trump's tariff "windfall" in his time as president( ugh) result in taxpayers having to bail out farmers due to how much damage it did? Do all these "news" sources forget basically, everything he did? Good Lord.

" The Trump administration gave more taxpayer dollars to farmers harmed by the administration’s trade policies than the federal government spends each year building ships for the Navy or maintaining America’s nuclear arsenal, according to a new report."https://www.forbes.com/sites/stuartanderson/2020/01/21/trump-tariff-aid-to-farmers-cost-more-than-us-nuclear-forces/

Basically, shoveled 28 billion dollars in taxpayers' money to farmers to try to ensure they would still vote for him.

consciousegalitarian's avatar

You got that right, Jill. And I really believe the corporate media should bring that up EVERY time they mention the word "tariff"in any column. Right after they explain exactly what a tariff is. OK, I I'll just wait for that to happen, holding my breath. But really, if "journalists" would just take 2 minutes to spell out tariffs, and its effects as you (and Forbes) did, most people would get it! It really makes sense

Declan's avatar

Needless to say....Kamala MUST explain what a tariff is & how it affects americans during the debate...D will lie & say its.free money from overseas. She has so much to cover...hope she can do it.

P123Sunny's avatar

Weird how that whole scenario kinda went away…

HI2thDoc's avatar

I realize these are rhetorical questions, because he's that lethal combination of liar and ignoramus. Lies, because that's what he does, and also lies because he has no idea what the issues really are, like how he doesn't have a fuckin' clue how tariffs work.

Mary Duffy O'Mara's avatar

The tariff windfall did kick in—for farmers who lost trade with China, and the U.S. subsidized our farmers with millions of dollars to plant nothing.

P123Sunny's avatar

👆So why aren’t DEMs harping on that? Why do they passively agree to move on… seems odd :/

Barbara Hotelling's avatar

Thank you for sharing your experience with he who should not be named.’ve been going bat crazy with his stuff. You bring me back to some hope that I can relax again soon. You give me a reality that helps me with all his poo.

P. J. Schuster's avatar

The long word salad of drumph’s posted by Mark Cuban that this links to is a great example of one of his long “weave” rants. It is so disorienting.

Warren Tipton's avatar

It's sick to watch. Why isn't the mainstream media calling this fool out on HIS CONGNATIVE DECLINE? OH, I FORGOT, THAT WAS JUST BIDEN, RIGHT? WHAT THE FUCK 😡😡😡😡😡😡

Declan's avatar

My theory Warren is that D DOES have a fantastic ability to bullshit his way thru any question with a torrent of....bullshit. The media admires that. Now Biden would freeze & still do a bit of word salad....but his skill at BS was NO where close to D. Now 'The weave' sounds like a Russian psy op pushed by Flynn to gaslight idiot Americans. I guess we will find out if the media buys The Weave 😜

HI2thDoc's avatar

I'm sure the media will buy it. And Biden is not a sociopath, unlike tRump

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

The "weave" is his poorly manufactured hair piece. Or as Trevor Noah said of trump, We know he needs money, because he wears a "discount" weave.

Joseph Michaels's avatar

I said it in 2016 and I'm saying it now: I refuse to vote for a man who rents his hair.

Declan's avatar

😂😂...the weave..yes

un poco loco's avatar

the Times certainly has

Susan Burgess's avatar

How does Kamala, or anyone for that matter plan to diffuse this weave of his that has flummoxed so many? Maybe with a weave of her own? I don’t think a debate should be held.

Suessl's avatar

Isn't a weave a hairpiece like that fallen souffle he has on his head?

Rick Calegari's avatar

The master turd of murdering the king's English is going on nine years of the same old blabbering bullshit. Most of us here recognize his incoherent weave so why doesn't the press have the balls to tell it like it really is?

Ellen the Wise's avatar

Because we don’t have a press. We have conservative right wing sycophant stenographers who are sucking up to their monied masters.

Lisa J. Miller's avatar

Damn good question Rick. Wish I knew the answer to that.

P123Sunny's avatar

Makes you wonder if the world has actually stopped watching… 😟⁉️

Susan Niemann's avatar

Seriously...how can this even be real life??? The Weave? What in the actual hell?

"Donny not only shit the bed, but enthusiastically rolled around in it." 🤣 Brilliant.

"yo, Politico — pass that doob over here." I'll say...must be good shit. 😂

This column needs to be sent to the press... because every word of what has been written here is perfect. #TGIF people!

Kay-El's avatar

I thought the weave is what one does with hair coloring. Won’t help Trump speak any more coherently though.

Morgan OCailleigh's avatar

I thought a weave was a way to deal with thinning hair. Or how to make a rug or a basket.

I don't know, maybe after years of weaving his hair into the rug he wears on his head, he would be better served by wearing a basket on his head.

<I'm so confused...🙄🤷‍♀️>

Susan Niemann's avatar

😂😂 he’s so insane!

bruce somers's avatar

Seems like the media are the ones buying all those NFTs and gold sneakers.

Jayme Wolworth's avatar

You might be on to something here. It appears that he does get "a weave" on the few wisps of hair he has. Maybe it was weave day and he decided to "weave" that into his rambling weird word salad and then thought it was genius! Kinda like u s spells US! He was so proud to be the first person to ever think of that too.

247kath's avatar

“The Weave” is basically baffle ‘em with bullshit…or the bullshit that masquerades as hair on that🍊fucker…or a new game show where contestants try and figure out what the fuck he said…

HI2thDoc's avatar

Hoooo-eee. In a sea of whoppers, that one stands out. "Sir, sir (with tears in their eyes), as a retired English professor, I have never, ever seen anyone do "The Weave" so well!"

Betsy L's avatar

No, it's what you do with actual hair and fake hair. You weave them all together, then wind it around your head a few times so that no one can tell how wispy your hair is getting. THAT's the kind of weave Dumpy has. Just make sure you don't go out into the drizzle to a WWI cemetery in France full of Americans.

John Hampton's avatar

I've heard of "talking through one's hat", but it seems that Drumpf is talking through his weave.

And, yes, I thought a "weave" concerned one's hair. If we're talking about Drumpf's speech, I think that "tossing his word salad" would be a more appropriate metaphor. With a puree of connerie* for dressing.

* French for "bullshit". I wanted it to sound sophisticated. :D

Ole Anderson's avatar

He’s talking out of an oriface far from his hair.

Deb's avatar

Me, too! I thought the weave had to do with that rat's nest on his head!🤣

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

It is also the fake hair "woven" in to real hair like extensions.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

I thought "dodge and weave" was a basketball move to try to keep from losing the ball to the opponent. Except that he's dribbling without a ball.

Gout Machine's avatar

You know that old adage? "If one person says it is raining and another person says it is not raining then a journalist should not simply quote them both. Instead, a journalist should look outside to ascertain the truth and relay it to the public."

In this case, the media are pissing on our legs.

Betsy L's avatar

Who said that? Sounds like wisdom for all time. We could use more of it.

Screaming into the Void.'s avatar

I'm no English professor, but it was my major in college (yet my career is in manufacturing, go figure). And my best friend says Valentime's Day and it drives me up a wall. But we've known each other for over over 20 years, we've been there for each other in hard times and I love her like a sister. Ever since Drumpf came on the national stage and has been a rambling buffoon my stress level has been through the roof because it literally hurts my head to hear him talk. I am not the clearest speaker myself sometimes, but compared to him I'm friggin Homer reciting the Illiad to a theatre full of people.

arne link's avatar

I can't bear to hear his dead monotone.

Tama2U's avatar

That’s when you know he’s being forced to read the teleprompter. Notice how he’s always sitting down now while he waxes incoherently. Tired old nazi loving pos.

John Hampton's avatar

When I hear him speak, and can't get to the remote with the "mute" button in time, in my mind, he sounds like:

"Bweah bweahbweah bweah bweahbweahbweah bweahbweah bweahhhhhhhh." With the last word drawn out like he'd just stepped on an old accordion that, as it passes, gives its death moan.

Hannah's avatar

Why did those people break into applause? Were they impressed?? I have known people in fancy pants clubs like that. Usually they are sent by a boss who can't be bothered, but gets the credit. I long ago was assigned to one of those things. The people were well dressed and spoke corporate speak fluently. Other than that, not a brain in the lot.

Hannah's avatar

Well now that tRump has cleared up childcare funding, I feel so much better.

Anita Smibert's avatar

TRUMP DOES NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TARIFFS WORK. Foreign nations don't cut a check to the US Treasury asshole. Media needs to make that clear so even the dumbest MAGA Cult member gets it. Donald lives by the WC Fields method of politics "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit". But that only works at rallies. Media is going Back To The 70's. A supremely qualified woman who is totally competent is held to a higher standard than a completely incompetent, unqualified man. WAIT. That's never changed.

Ann Anderson's avatar

It's like he learned the word tariff at some point, it's all he remembers now, and he tries to riff on it without a clue. And the reporters act like he's speaking English.

Anita Smibert's avatar

It's the same with NATO. He thinks that 2% of GDP is supposed to go to some sort of dues, instead of into their own national defense budget.

Douglas Paul Truhlar's avatar

You nailed it Ann Anderson, he’s riffing perfect word the problem is as you say he’s riffing on what because he doesn’t know, oh that’s right I forgot he is the only person that knows, “the weave” boy he is so high IQ I didn’t get it. So professors are smart enough to listen to but sir, you hate the elites can you weave a big one for us sir?

Neal Stiffelman's avatar

The meme of the guy hitting his head on the desk. Times ten zillion.

Paul's avatar

All those people who magically will now have childcare paid for somehow via tariffs won't be able to afford clothing for their children or cars to drive them to school in because costs of goods will skyrocket due to tariffs - oh and of course there's the ongoing childcare provider shortage that will only be exacerbated in this insane scenario - but yeah this totally makes sense, if you're demented.

bruce somers's avatar

It's pretty much Steve Bannon's 'toss so much shit' until everyone actually tunes out,and then they turn on the 'applause' sign and everyone wakes up 90 minutes later.

Sharon C Storm's avatar

The way he talks reminds me of a maze. You know, one with many dead ends and no way out without walking through the entire thing with no idea where you are going. He is the one who gets lost every time he begins a sentence, which has no middle or end. He just says whatever word that pops into his feeble brain.

Jodi Richard's avatar

Child birth was less painful than reading that shit storm of word garbage and I did it without drugs. My head still hurts from that assault.

Declan's avatar

That's funny Jodi....and true. 'childbirth less painful'.....

..everyone gets the point you make!

Cande Carroll's avatar

Trump’s exit from his wordweave is typically, “but we’re going to Make America Great Again,” and his fans cheer.

Dee Whitman's avatar

Except that a maze actually has one logical path amidst all the confusion. With djt's ramblings, not so much.

Cande Carroll's avatar

Kamala needs to re-read the “Child care” answer because Trump is going to reuse it in the debate and she’d better have a crackerjack response ready!

Rose Heredia's avatar

She will if she can stop laughing.

Maggie&Lefty's avatar

Shit! Come back in a week when I stop laughing!

Declan's avatar

Rose....maybe she did have to re read childcare answer by D cause when she took a break and went to the sandwich shop she said she was glad to get the hell out of that debate prep room....it was driving her crazy 🤪! Not only does D have the 'firehose of bullshit' technique but makes your head hurt trying to make sense out of it.

JD tried to answer the same question,he said the grandmas and aunts should be put to work raising the little devils,for free of course,in JD world every woman should be a servant.

Well, she’s not President Biden (with all due respect to him). She’s a skilled prosecutor with impeccable speaking skills. YouTube has some videos of her that you might want to watch to calm any fears you have.

An LA Times reporter remembered that Ivanka and Rubio were behind a scheme to let people finance some post-natal care by giving up some of their Social Security benefits, so that might be how those names got in there. But that wasn't a plan intended to refer to caring for pre-K children.

Can't wait for the debate -- the experienced prosecutor vs the convicted felon, twice-adjudicated rapist and doddering old fool in significant mental decline.

Cande Carroll's avatar

Sadly, I thought Biden would wipe the floor with Trump in the 1st debate. Trump rambled lies fast in a loud voice and Biden didn’t have a chance. But I love Kamala & Walz. Biden’s been an amazing President.

Kathy H's avatar

It'd be very satisfying to watch her wipe the floor with him!

Dee Whitman's avatar

My one concern about the debate is that she'll be distracted when he continues talking beyond his allotted time. He won't be audible on the mic, but she'll be close enough to hear him. I realize that her debate-preppers have almost certainly incorporated this into her debate prep, but nonetheless I worry a little.

ETA: She's so bright, and so capable as an interrogator (all of those people, esp. men, shriveling as she locks in on them!), that I'm 99% looking forward to this.

He's continuing to spew garbage today. I say Adderall. I really believe that Americans are over his shit and even though he still has "followers", I can't fathom him being reelected. Hope I'm not wrong.

Great post about shit for brains. 💙

insert_something_creative's avatar

As someone with ADHD who takes Adderall, my doctors would have me committed if I started talking like PAB. I believe they have him hopped up on something (could be Adderall), but the racist squirrels in his brain are the more immediate problem.

I also really can't believe we are still having to listen to this insane asshole in 2024 and that the race isn't at least 25-75 in favor of Kamala.

kdsherpa's avatar

The garbage he spews from his anus-mouth (as Jeff calls it) has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with his insanity.

Kaye Stone's avatar

Adderall is most likely a good drug for those who need it... maybe tRUMP does need it but he abuses it.

Dave Drell's avatar

Too many wackos support him or are just

racist or misogynistic - hopefully

Yes, Adderall, but a nursing home for Alzheimer's patients is the first priority.

He’s snorted so much Adderall he’s been in diapers for years!!

Jenny Bizzoco's avatar

Is it possible those in these media outlet have no clue how tariffs work or is it that they continue to ignore that the old delusional man continues to deteriorate right before their own eyes instead of going after him like they did with Biden? No answers needed.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

I don't know. at least the AP quoted a doubtful economist for their reporting, but they never asked her WHY she thought Donny's plan is bad. wouldn't doing so be the most basic journalism?

bruce somers's avatar

They could at least mention Joe Biden has balanced the trade deficit with China for the first time in decades,and maybe explain what 'protectionism' is,and Trump has already tried tariffs on our own allies.

Betsy L's avatar

Practice basic journalism, Tim? You overestimate 99% of American journalists.

Cande Carroll's avatar

Kamala can take 15 of her precious debate seconds to explain/define tariffs.

Lairbo's avatar

That would be a good move because it might be the first time anyone's told him what a tariff is and how it works. He'll be thrown and probably go into a rant/response insisting she's wrong.
