There's no fucking way that chart is accurate. It's like a fever dream designed to show how "reasonable" we're being. "It's only half!"

Switzerland does not impose blanket 61% tariffs on U.S. imports, which immediately makes the rest of the "data" suspect.

If you're going to hold up an absurd visual aid, at least use a Sharpie to make the hurricane go elsewhere.

I appreciate the Sharpie reference, lol

Has anyone made a book or website documenting all the crazy things that he's done? I feel like they would have at least a couple thousand moments to write about. It seems like we get to see something absurd, horrifying, or hilarious daily. It feels like far too much to keep track of, which is probably the point

Would Goodnight Trump be up your alley? It's only from the first term but adds a bit of levity on occasion.

Lol that will do the trick! Funny how if you think of an idea, someone has likely already done it. Thanks for sharing :)
