Critics have declared US president Donald Trump should be ‘impeached for stupidity’ following an awkward tariff blunder. Meanwhile, Elon Musk looks ‘rattled’ as he’s brutally trolled during gaming livestream from his private jet.
They’re both stupid. ‘Nuff said!
Trump spoke at the National Republican Congressional Committee’s (NRCC) annual fundraising dinner in Washington on Tuesday (April 8) where he commented on the 104% levy imposed on goods from China. The president said the US had been “ripped […] off left and right” by other countries for long enough, declaring: “Now it’s our turn to do the ripping.”
The people being ripped the most are those with retirement accounts and those dependent on Social Security and Medicaid.
But social media users were quick to point out the additional cost incurred by the tariff on Chinese imports were likely to be paid by American consumers. Ed Krassenstein, creator and co-host of the podcast KrassenCast, wrote on X: “Wrong Mr. Trump.
“China isn’t paying a 104% Tariff. Americans are paying it. If you still think China is paying it then you should be impeached for stupidity.”
