If an entire cult is too fucking stupid to recognize what’s hurting them, then how the fuck could tariffs be MAGA’s death knell like some people are saying? You could literally douse some of these people in gasoline and tell them, ‘I need you to burn for just a couple seconds for Trump,’ and they’d fucking do it.

I saw some asshole in an interview saying, “Sometimes you gotta walk through the fire first.”

Like…Yeah? Maybe. Just don’t start by lighting yourself the fuck on fire. 😕🔫

Good question! Hope this helps:

There isn’t a single live tracker that puts Trump’s first and second terms side by side, but we can compare available data:

First Term (2017–2021):

  • Golf rounds played: Approximately 261 rounds — about one every 5.6 days.
  • Visits to Trump properties: 428 days out of 1,461, which is nearly 29% of his presidency.
  • Source: TrumpGolfTrack.com

Second Term (as of February 17, 2025):

  • Golf rounds played: At least 5 rounds in the first 28 days — again, one every 5.6 days.
  • Percentage of days golfing: About 17.86% of his time in office so far.
  • Source: PinkNews article

Soooo: Trump’s pace of golfing in his second term is nearly identical to his first — he’s kept the same rhythm of golf every 5–6 days.

That’s wild shit right there. 💪

White House official, when asked about Trump’s approach to his latest tariff policies, bluntly said, “[Trump] doesn’t give a fuck. He’s going to do what he’s going to do.”

That tracks. While economists, small business owners, and trade partners brace for impact, Trump spent the day—once again—on the golf course.

There was no strategic urgency. No economic consensus. No thoughtful rollout. Just impulsive, performative policymaking at the expense of American workers and global stability. Tariffs, when used wisely, can be a tool of leverage. But this? This isn’t policy—it’s ego dressed up as strength.

And once again, Americans are left holding the bill.

There was no need for tariffs to be done this way. 

Meanwhile, economists—and people with far more expertise than most of us—are already calling this one of the most significant self-inflicted wounds in American economic history. A reckless move, made not out of strategy, but spite.

What the fuck, Ars?

Holy. Shit. This is somehow glorious on an oled iPad screen. The late 1900s never looked so good.

Oh thank God, I thought the economy was about to collapse or something.
