Trump: “I challenge you to a fist fight!”
[gets punched]
Trump: “No fair! You cheated!”
Donald Trump does not lose trade wars. He wins them, or he quits because the other side is cheating.
What a petulant fucking child.
“Not fair! I called tariffs no backsies!”
Idiot fucks around, finds out. More at 11
What a fucking baby. You reap what you fucking sow. I’m glad Treadau didn’t buy into the games of ‘TARRIFF!!!..haha just kidding…TARIFFS AGAIN!!! Nope just kidding again’. It was obviously some stupid tactic to act like he was in control of the situation. Glad they’re standing up to him.
Classic loser response: “you’re cheating”
They should rage quit as well
“mommy, they’re mean to me!!!”
I remember Trump rage quitting a NATO summit when Merkel, Trudeau, Macron, Johnson and Rutte were making fun of him during his first term. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/dec/04/trump-describes-trudeau-as-two-faced-over-nato-hot-mic-video
I meant him rage quitting with a gun
I hope he takes Vance and Musk with him then. Because him dead means Vance as president, and he’s a lot more dangerous.
Im not sure. Vance lacks the power to command the mobs
im glad you asked me about playing with my balls, mister trump
Dude used the word war in a sentence with Canada. And now he’s surprised at the result?
I’m a little surprised they’ve been so fair actually
These sky high Tariffs are part of Canada’s unfair, long-standing policy to shield domestic producers from foreign competition
“And only I’m allowed to do that”, he continued.
It’s always projection with this imbecile. At least we always know what he’s up to, because he blatantly accuses other people of whatever he’s thinking.

Not what he’s talking about. He’s still lying and whining, but not saying what you (or the headline) imply he’s saying.
He’s saying that the pre-existing tariffs on out of quota dairy products are “cheating US farmers”. Which is not true. The body of the article explains this correctly and in good detail, but the headline sucks and nobody ever reads past the headline because we all have brain rot as a species.
I wonder if a good Fedi alternative to Reddit would do something like force the link to be previewed in full or opened before getting to respond to the aggregation. Or maybe all social media was a mistake and none of it should exist, I don’t know.
And let me be clear, I’m not attacking you here, this is a sytemic issue. Every human is subject to these patterns. Blame our collective wetware.
The even shorter version:
Canada is following the trade deal that Trump signed into law in 2018, as it pertains to what Trump is confusedly crying about.
Part of that deal is that if the US exports too much dairy products to Canada, beyond an agreed upon volume, a higher tariff rate kicks in for that excess.
This isn’t even happening, because the US has not exceeded that export limit.
…
So… if by ‘cheating’, Trump means that the deal is being broken… no, it isn’t.
If by ‘cheating’, Trump means that the terms of the deal are fundamentally unfair … it was Trump’s fucking deal after he blew up NAFTA! … so Trump is then saying his own trade deal is fundamentally unfair to America, despite massively hyping it up as awesome during his first term.
He consistently attempts to renegotiate deals when he’s in a worse position than when the original deal occurred. He’s the sort of idiot that thinks position is posturing, lying, and cheating and not the reality of trust, what you can and will do for them, and what you can and will do to them.
Social media definitely was a mistake, but at least on the fediverse it’s our mistake!
I would get behind “click through before vote”
Seems like it has potential for abuse, though, aka forcibly driving traffic. It can be defeat-able though, it’s just meant to deter lazy human impulses.
I’ll make a complementary argument below in a sec, but “enforcing driving traffic” seems like a feature, not a bug.
For how testy people get about crawling for copyrigted stuff for things like AI, everybody seems super chill about search engines and aggregators ripping off content at industrial scales with zero repercussions.
Tbh, I’d be less testy about bots scraping my sites for AI input IF they respected my robots.txt file and didn’t slam the server. They’re just rude and I don’t like it. Sometimes they’re so rude it’s effectively a DOS attack.
Tbh, my sites exist to get information out there and I don’t care if someone mirrors my sites, as long as the information is still accurate.
I mean, that’s great and you’re well within your rights, but that’s not what people generally say when they express outrage about AI scraping. People straight up call it theft very often and seem to consider using online content for training is the equivalent of copying or distributing it.
Which stands out to me because that was not what happened when the EU decided that Google News was effectively piracy after a whole bunch of news outlets complained. The consensus there seemed to be that it was a bummer to lose the service despite all the scraping.
Oh yeah, I get that there’s more than 2 reasons to be upset about AI scraping. I work in the academic library world and the vibe here is
- bots are rude
- AI is not a reliable source of facts
We work with facts and information, and I have no expectation that my collection of facts is something to defend against replication.
On the other hand, I’d be pissed AF if someone stole my research paper on 1800s family drama and reprinted it without attribution, or AI-hallucinated new pseudo-facts that were not in the source materials.
Edit: my situation isn’t that of others and I totally get why artists and authors would be upset about AI bots stealing their work.
All is fair in love and war. If you did not want to fight as though it were a war, then it would have been better not to send over a declaration of war.
“These sky high Tariffs are part of Canada’s unfair, long-standing policy to shield domestic producers from foreign competition, especially in Agriculture,” he continued. “Our Great U.S. Dairy Farmers deserve fair treatment from Canada. Enjoy it while you can!”
The bastard cries about “unfair policies” that use tariffs to protect a country’s industry and yet in his own Steel and Aluminum tariffs declaration he stated:
“To allow U.S. aluminum producers to restart production and to incentivize new capacity, additional adjustments to section 232 tariffs on aluminum need to be made, including limiting exemptions and increasing the tariff rate.”
Literal toddler tantrums.
This is Trump trying to tell his MAGA moron farmers that he’s fighting for them when he’s actually fucked them with these tariffs. US is THE largest agriculture exporters in the world. When the retaliatory tariffs come, his base is going to hurt because of him, they know it, he knows it, so he’s trying to change the narrative.
The absolute despair
Not only is he a shitwit, a fuckwad, and a Nazi, but he’s also a fucking pussy.
