In response to market panic about his new wide-ranging tariffs, President Donald Trump reportedly offered Wall Street assurance Friday that he would soon go back to just fucking over poor people. “While my trade policy might cause some temporary hardships for investors, it’s ultimately intended to completely fucking destroy the livelihoods of the financially destitute,” said Trump, urging calm by insisting that big banks, hedge funds, and other major players should take a longer-term view to understand that his tariffs were necessary to increase widespread suffering among the impoverished.
Onion is so realistic now it’s not even funny. I don’t attribute Trump being the mastermind behind it, but that’s totally the plan all along.
It was the same last time around, reality is more insane than satire. Same with House of Cards.
