    I like how no one on Lemmy has to be explained how that would crash the U.S economy. They just know. The average intelligence of this place surpasses Reddit at its inception.

    Contrast that with my idiot Trump-voter “friends” who insist: “He’s just bluffing”

    I don’t think their world view extends past the two meters in front of their nose, frankly. If they’re not in pain on some isolated root base-ganglia, tooth-infection level, it just doesn’t exist for them. A beastly existence.

    Sorry: Just venting. Lost a lot of “friends” due to the last election. :/

      To be fair the C in BRICS is China and I don’t think Trump will actually impose a 100 percent tariff on China since that would crash the economy to the extent that rich people will lose money. So he’s definitely bluffing there. His base won’t judge him on that basis though.
