EDIT - Found this after my post, a MUCH better "he said it":

- throwup238 9mo agoAnd he did it last time too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariffs_in_the_first_Trump_administration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariffs_in_the_first_Trump_adm... “Living under a rock” is the technical term, I believe.
- JKCalhoun 9mo agoYep, in his first term he was called "tariff man" (among other things).
- cyanydeez 9mo agoYeah, I find it curiously delusional, but the reality seems to be a segment of the population just refuses to accept the drastic change in pace to political change.
- skybrian 9mo agoHe didn't do it the same way last time. Trump's second term is significantly different.
- skybrian 9mo agoNo, knowing that Trump really likes tariffs is not enough to know specifically how he's going to do it. (And which laws he's going to break to get there.)
- otikik 9mo agoWell yeah, but the man is also a pathological liar. I would not blame anyone for not believing he was going to do anything that he said he would do.
