Have you ever seen such a schlubby looking President? Like his arms are down, shoulders as down as far they can be. Of course he's not doing the accordion hands thing which is sort of a plus for him. That suit looks like off the rack too, I bet he gets them tailored that way heh. He sort of looks like he's giving an 8th grade presentation for his class.

I will say it's highly probable this picture was chosen for those attributes, but it's not like his content or speaking skills would make it better than what is captured in an image. So I'm guessing the image captures the essence of the speech.

His ties are awful too. Why the fuck you want ties that are sooooo long? They look like a cartoon tie or something a clown would wear

Trying to disguise a paunch, and maybe look taller.

Perhaps, as a Canadian, stuff from Europe (and Asia, and Latin America) might go down a bit.

A lot of companies are unfortunately talking about raising prices globally so Trump doesn't retaliate against them.

So the whole world is paying his stupid tariffs.

Canadians appreciate your support when Trump announced tariffs against us so you will be able to count on Canadians supporting you.

Western Europe should flood etsy with kickass stuff at really great prices to share and be cool to each other but then marks all sales as EU only. Use the US globalization as a way to squarely taunt the US digital bourgeoisie.

sorry! no, thank you! come again!

[โ€“] Telorand@reddthat.com 18 points 1 day ago

I like your idea, but the bourgeoisie aren't shopping on Etsy. Etsy shoppers are regular folk with very little political power (on their own).

What your idea might do is piss off the Etsy shoppers who voted for him, and to that I say: every little bit helps.

Get ready to sell those stocks, then buy again after, before rescinds again.
