World's biggest fucking idiot comes to terms with being a massive fucking idiot
You can still take solice in knowing that you "owned some libs" though. That just makes the whole thing worth it, doesn't it?
Heartbreaking.
I can’t stop crying about this redcap’s 23% loss in profits. Never mind that I’m not sure whether my Social Security disability will continue at all (it’s been delayed the last couple of months, to the point I can’t afford ramen right now) or that they’re building interment camps. Or that my doctors say Medicare won’t allow my prescriptions anymore unless I can travel the hour and a half to physically show up at their office, which I cannot do since I’m 100% homebound and Medicare has suddenly decided they’re not allowing remote visits anymore, so I’ll have to stop taking lifesaving meds I’ve been on for 20 years.
But yes, this guy’s 23% profit loss will keep me up tonight.
My heart bleeds purple peanut butter.
Oh and my little friends violin
Aha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... Suffer, you stupid tool.
If only someone had told him the consequences of voting for Trump
If only he could have seen how donvict would have behaved when in office...hm, wonder how someone might have gone about looking into that...
Maybe the Lib he owned
This is just like Chinese Cultural Revolution. That destroyed their economy and it took them a few decades to rebuild.
It is easier to destroy but hard to build..I hope they learned their lesson.
I doubt it. They will later have all kinds of apologists explaining how donvict just didn't do his idiocy HARD enough. That's assuming we even still have elections and the Republicans feel any need whatsoever to "explain" their cult leader's actions.
But I watched these dipshits in the wake of Ronnie Raygun's destruction, and no, they ain't going to learn shit.
I hope they learned their lesson.
Oh I'm sure the Chinese did, republicans however? ...
The vast majority of them won’t learn anything. They are just looking to blame someone right now. Next election (if there is one) some dem will say something they hate, things will be better for them, and they are right back on the trump train.
Most of them are too far gone, in the cult, and listen to nothing but the propaganda. Any soft realization will quickly be forgotten when they are told how it’s the other sides fault b
Yep, they'll just blame the Chinese, Europe and of course the Democrats.
Mao wanted people to smelt iron in their backyards, Trump wants people to raise chickens in their backyards.
Chickens are at least more likely to be useful. That is more of an accident than anything, seeing as Trump and Mao are just different shapes of crap.
Yep this is "Trump's Great Leap Forward" and we should start referring to it as such.
It'd be a banger if the average asshole in America wasn't so stupid that they'd read that as a positive.
"In fact this will be the greatest leap forward. A big beautiful leap!" and the hateful morons will cheer as he says it.
We are going to eat tree barks
"They are eating the barks, they are eating the cat (food)."
“Heartbreak” isn’t really the word I’d use here lol
Well, it can be heartbreaking to realize your intelligence equals that of a toaster.
can't be heartbreaking if you don't have a heart
"FreightWaves is the most trusted provider of global supply chain market intelligence. Our high-frequency price, demand, and capacity data and analysis allow our customers to benchmark, analyze, monitor and forecast the global physical economy."
Ironic. Although I guess their data wouldn't be very good at analyzing someone picking up the economy, turning it upside down and giving it a good shake.
If only someone with some level of responsibility at Freightwaves bothered to google "tariffs" before donating and voting for the Tupperware face.
Zero fucking sympathy and this is just the beginning of the US collapse. There will be plenty of used trucks and trailers.
Can we start vetting sources a bit better?
What is this site?
The site is hosted in Iceland. Whois link
It's bias is extreme left. It is marked as a questionable source. Mediabiasfactcheck link
It does not disclose ownership or funding sources. They do not provide sources for their articles.
The article mention the businessman name , it's easy to check on x the specific statement https://x.com/FreightAlley/status/1913990382997643418
Fuller runs Freightwaves. He’s all over the place prognosticating the shipping and logistics community.
I could find no source for the OP post other than the linked popup “news” site.
Fuller is more recently quoted as saying the “recession” (the market downturn due to trump’s idiotic knee-jerk tariff implementation) is over and expecting a market change.
Dude’s an idiot, just another CEO analyst always trying to put a positive spin on any negative event to do with his industry.
Freightwaves also does the majority of its business selling pay for play to T&L business owners to be talking heads on podcasts, interviews, the you tubes and similar.
This is probably a play so that people don't think they're giving money to an org that's killing their business
It's disheartening that no one in this comment section applied some critical reading skills and questioned this source.
I live in SoCal and the truck traffic coming out of L.A. is substantially down. Before the felon's tariffs truck traffic would be so dense it would take miles to get over to the right lane to exit the freeway. Now traffic's way down to maybe 2/3 of what it was. The lack of container ships in West Coast ports has been well documented.
No matter what you think of the source, the big drop in freight traffic is real. CEOs of trucking companies should be seriously alarmed. Maybe even some Magats are questioning their choice in the last election.
Will you please explain?
The source is garbage. The news site is rated as being Mixed Factual reporting. They don't identify who funds them, and they don't detail their sources.
They are left leaning and primarily lean in to discredit Trump. Trump does a good enough job discrediting himself without the need to fabricate or embelish stories to make him look bad. This "feel good" bullshit is the same sort of stuff that the right does to capture their viewers and feed them "alternative truth". Be better. Check your sources, and check whether this is reliable information.
Trusting a fact checker completely is as bad. A simple search would have gave you the direct source https://x.com/FreightAlley/status/1913990382997643418
