Donald Trump has said that Americans may feel economic “pain” from his tariffs on key trading partners.

“Will there be some pain? Yes, maybe (and maybe not!)” Trump wrote on Sunday in all capital letters on his Truth social media platform, a day after signing off on tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China.

“But we will Make America Great Again, and it will all be worth the price that must be paid,” he added.

    I know this is a serious subject, but this made me laugh:

    Trump wrote on Sunday in all capital letters

    Like they couldn’t bring themselves to quote it as written, but they still had to mention it.

      I’d call it sanewashing but I think anyone that likes Trump doesn’t seem to perceive how stupid the all-caps writing makes him look.

      Which makes sense, as the authors of all of the scam websites and chain letters since the 2000s love to overuse emphasis which seems to appeal to the easiest marks.
