      In Canada they have physical icons informing you of tariff impacted items coming from the US, not that people would be buying them anyways.

    Oh man.

    What did this idiot give Bezos I wonder?

    He’s the worst negotiator in the history of US presidents.

      Mafia Don Mangolini was not required to give Bezos anything here…

      Bezos just automatically (re)-bent the knee to stave off any future “problems” when he realized he’d pissed off Chump.

      Obeyance in advance.

      This is what… Second, third, fourth time Bezos has kissed the…“ring”…

      🙄 🤷‍♂️ 🤡 🖕 🖕

    I wonder if this is all a game with Donald and the billionaires.

    Elon fucks shit up in Federal Government… Donald gets “mad”… let’s pretend Elon and Donald is in a marriage dispute for Tesler can be up.

    Donald talks smack about Amazon, people say yay Amazon… but it’s all lies.

      At this point it is becoming a pro-wrestling plotline, so why not? Donald has experience.

        Trump does have experience in the WWF(WWE). I remember him actually involved in the wrestling. I don’t remember what it was exactly. Maybe a chair across the back or something. It was back when he was building his “brand” to what it is today. Stunts like that made him very popular with the average person.

          I wasn’t watching wrestling at the time, but I think he was involved for awhile, more than just a chair to the back. I think WWF and The Apprentice were how he came to be seen as a tough guy and a good businessman by his base. It’s darkly hilarious, yet saddening.

            He makes back to the future, and idiocraty look like documentaries.

            I just remember a time when he actually went ringside to join the performance. I don’t think he did it often, but he did have a lot of shady dealings with McMahon.

            The apprentice is definitely the crown jewel of the trump brand and is what solidified him with the strong man persona.

    Bezos when someone hacks his phone and threatens to leak his dick pics, “Do it coward, I stand up to bullies.” Bezos when Trump calls him, “Yes sir, thank you sir. You’re going to look the other way on all the labor violations right?”
