Quik mafs
Ok, that dudes maths (and his rhymes) were not impressive *but at least they were accurate.
Well thay did say "may" so perhaps it's a trick maths question.
Reminder: Conservatives can't spell. That's why it 50%.
American logic in a nutshell
From other headlines it's possible they meant 80%. Yes I know. No, there really aren't other options.
Sounds like some solid Trump math, there
Republicans have never been good at math, just look at any budget proposal
It's clearly the smaller half .
LMAO, China won the game of chicken. You lose. Good day sir.
I read this in my head with Gene Wilders voice as Willy Wonka, gave me a chuckle XD
Times of India maths like MAGA.
Now that you mention it, this could be a translation error. Like the original word meant "divide" or "slash" and it was mistranslated as "halve".
Reminder that Modi and his party are part of the IDU, an organization dedicated to spreading far right idealogy worldwide.
only pro-india, but RUSSIA is way more effective and pervasive than india doing it.
Drumpf looking like a weak ass bitch to China. Good job, you nitwit.
he is gonna try to sell this as China begging for reducing the tariffs lol
“We got em the ropes!”
[we literally ran out of ropes]
Art of the Deal
I don't think anyone to depend on trade with a nation as unstable as this. Could it be that Trump has dementia?
His father did have Alzheimer's, it run the family, and it is also linked to a poor diet.
Also remember when trump didn't have a series of mini strokes?
Also remember when trump looked like he had mini strokes mid rally several times,?
I dont think he has enough base brain capacity to degrade to dementia, he is already below that level
Half of 135% of the time it works 2/3rds of the time.
He says that like there'll be an immediate fleet of ships arriving in US ports the following day ...
But... what about negative tarrifs? That would show these weak countries!!!
math is hard
