I mean, the commenter is right. Both can be true. I'd even say both is true.
Trump is not understanding tariffs and is lying.

I don't think going into a fox news comment section is going to give you any useful info. The thing seems like it's full of the "people of facebook" combined with a shitload of bots and trolls. I don't think it's representative of literally anybody.
I feel like the comment is being sarcastic. Republicans would never admit the possibility of something negative about Trump.
If the world had any sense Rupert Murdoch would be at the bottom of the ocean.
except he also has his son lachlan murdoch is controlling the reins of fox, hes worst than his father.
Short term, that actually will happen. Long term, new trading routes will occur.
Reason why would be that not producing could cost more than producing at a loss.
"Fox viewers are stupid" should hardly be news to anyone by now.
I'm pretty sure "Spice Melange" is trolling. Idk how someone would understand and enjoy the plot of Dune (assuming the book because IDK if they even used that term in the movies) with this poor of an understanding of how trade works.
They might be trolling, but right wingers are notoriously bad a media literacy.
One of the book details not carried through to the movie is the Baron's plan to put Rabban in charge initially to fuck shit up and make everybody hate him, and then hand Arrakis over to Feyd-Rautha who would seem like a savior since he (supposedly) wouldn't be as big of a dick as Rabban. Trump-to-Vance may have a similar arc.
There is a whole SouthPark episode about Tom Bradys poop where they repetitively use the term.
They definitely used the term in the Lynch movie, but if you can follow that plot you may be even smarter than a reader of the book heh
The cheatsheets they handed out in theaters in 1984 helped lol.
That's awesome, I want to see one of these cheatsheets now
Edit: I just found a pic of one of the cheatsheets online and it was a little underwhelming, but I still love that they made it.
I should take a look at it. When I saw the movie in theaters, I contemptuously threw mine away without looking at it as I'd read all the books.
He who controls the Spice controls the Universe.
Honestly the fact that this fake news got going makes no sense to me. If you even atop for a second to think about how tarrifs are collected you'd know this would never be the case
stop for a second to think
I think maybe I see the problem.
He built a wall and Mexico paid for it. They remember that clearly, so what he says 10 years later must be true. Anyone surprised maga people believing this is surprising. lol.
Trump complains that other countries have tariffs on the US. Yet no US manufacturer ever seems to have paid them. Odd that.
This is why debating or having any discussion with them is beyond worthless. If they have nothing. They will simply pull it out of their ass.
