TOM is a 14 year old mean girl

I finally figured it out. TOM is really a 14 year old, middle school, mean girl. Look at the behaviors. Stirring pots then slowly back pedaling about stirring the pot. (Tariffs. Oh China? Maybe just 80% is really what I meant). Needs to be fawned over. ‘Nuf said. Do not dare to disparage or speak ill of him. And if you do, you are certain to be called names. Names that are as base and childish as a 14 year old mean girl. What leader of the greatest nation in the world makes rhyming nonsensical nicknames up for people? Yes. Fourteen year old mean girls. Constantly checking social media and posting without thinking….. Ok. You get the idea. Do your own comparisons; don’t just take these. Look at all the behaviors and then look at a 14 year old mean girl. Same same.

Part of that walking back of pot stirring is a flippant social media post about reducing China’s tariff. “President Donald Trump said this morning that decreasing tariffs on China from 145% to 80% "seems right" in a post to Truth Social, adding that any reduction would be "up to" Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer are holding trade talks with Chinese officials tomorrow in Switzerland.” And like any mean girl worth her weight, he has thrown Bessent under the bus. I screwed things up, and you should fix it. This is what you should do. I think this is the best thing.

And what will certainly stir up problems in the friend group, TOM now wants to increase taxes on the rich. Mean girl mean girl! “President Donald Trump’s last-minute push to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans is running into a buzz saw of opposition in the Republican Party, where such proposals have long been anathema. As congressional Republicans assemble a massive tax-and-spending-cut package to deliver on Trump’s domestic policy agenda, the White House has been kicking around the idea of allowing the tax rate on top earners to go up as a way to pay for other priorities on taxes, immigration and the military without cutting programs like Medicaid that millions of Americans rely on.”
