“I know we cut off both your arms, and while that may seem inconvenient at first, it’s a good thing because we helped you lose weight!”
I’m horrified…
anything to avoid criticising an idiot
Not a crazy thing to say if you don‘t particularly like the USA which I have to assume he doesn‘t.
Or you’re an environmentalist who knows we’re literally cooked.
Pretty sure he likes Russia more.

For the billionaires planning on buying everything up to finish Russiafying our Oligarchy it’s a great thing.
Peter Navarro is a quak
So is Ron Vera.
That’s because all bad news is fake news now, everybody deserves the freedom to choose their own truth! /s
Blyat!
We had a 22 percent increase in domestic investment.
That’s good, it really is, but that in and of itself doesn’t mean much. Industrial production left the US for a reason. What’s changed? The cost of living has only gone up, especially housing, which means the cost of domestic labor is still going to be much higher than many other countries, so how do these US producers plan to turn this new capital investment into a profitable enterprise? How are they going to profitably produce quality goods that Americans can actually afford? Are they only going to make luxury goods for the highest income Americans? If so, who’s going to serve the middle and the bottom income levels?
Thing is the article says the actual domestic investment growth was 9.8%, not 22%.
Inventories was also most of that. Means less production in future quarters.
exactly, that boost was to delay the inevitable crash that just around the corner
who’s going to serve the middle and the bottom income levels?
And laughter ensued from the 1%
Maybe slave labor. Or possibly something that actively steals wealth. Like, buying out mortgages then telling families to triple up in the house to cover less food and higher rent. Basically whatever you can imagine that makes things worse for most of us is probably the plan.
It is precisely like when Russia’s currency tanked like a stricken submarine, which meant their PPP-adjusted GDP shot up the rankings and became one of the highest numbers in the world, which all the tankies promptly seized upon and used as an example of why the sanctions are actually helping Russia, by boosting its domestic economy, which is why everything is going great.
If so, who’s going to serve the middle and the bottom income levels?
Certainly not the government!
And the sky is orange…
Hmm you should probably head to your basement if you have one if that’s the case lolol
The moment you realize you’re getting a golden shower from Trump who didn’t drink enough water.
Yes we know MAGAts black is white, up is down and the Orange Turd is a genius. We don’t don’t believe you.
Ignorance is strength, war is peace, freedom is slavery.
France is bacon.
France is bacon.
Knowledge is power
Nods in silent agreement.
I thought it was Chris P Bacon…
It could be Chris P Rat.
Terry Prachett approved.
Yeah good news for his boss Putin the rest of the world not so much.
I expect that Navarro will be needing to do a “high prices are good news” bit once stockpiled goods in warehouses in the US also run dry.
If Trump thought that this statement would be a political winner, I suspect that he’d be doing it himself, rather than having Navarro doing so. Right now, the only thing that Trump’s currently seeing net positives in the polls I’ve most-recently seen is his immigration policy. Not on the economy.
