The Problem

One of the first things kids learn to say is “that’s not fair!”; after all, little kids have an incredibly honed sense of justice. So it makes perfect sense this is something Trump spews on a constant basis, as one fucking toddler screaming at people he sees as his fellow toddlers to be outraged at something being “not fair!” - XMASTIME

This whole tariff shit is happening because of Trump's weird, childish fascination with the idea of "fair"; he thinks I, normal American, give a shit whether or not our trade with another country is "fair" when even a fucking idiot like me knows that if you're the only goddam superpower in the world you can give plenty of countries breaks to keep them in the game, which only keeps our beak wet as long as we want (insert "Dracula doesn’t suck all of the blood out of his victims at once" thing here). But he’s a fucking toddler, so he thinks we want him to stomp his fat fucking feet & hold his fat fucking breath until he gets what he wants, and it’s moved from “harmless childish shit” to “officially and literally dangerous”.
