You don’t need the arrow. Rocket launchers damaging things both ways from the propellant blast and the analogy works even better.
After observing what effect the back blast had on his target: “A dud launcher. See? Swedes don’t know how to make a rocket.”
I agree, and I thought the same thing. I wonder if the artist knew this too, because it seems like a better version of it, but I think most people don’t know that rocket launchers have backblast, so maybe it’s not as good for sending the message to average people.
It’s missing the vast majority of congress cheering him on, but otherwise seems accurate enough.
Should’ve been a cheering MAGA voter.
If only they were the only people to be affected by this.
Yeah, it should be a MAGA voter cheering and giving the finger to the “evil brown guy” next to him. But still showing both people in the line of fire.
Bro, Mexico paid for the wall just like he said. This is the same, China pays the tariffs.
he’s a genius
The target should have a “I voted” sticker on their shirt.
More people didn’t vote than voted for either of them. Maybe an “I didn’t vote” sticker for a little redundancy.

He’s literally following Hitler’s playbook. Which even if you liked Hitler should be apparent that it’s stupid because Hitler fucking lost. Why would you do exactly what a fucking loser would do expecting not to also lose?
Don’t worry, everyone. He and Elon have made a real killing off all of this. They’re richer than ever!
Accurate!
ngl I think if the tarrifs were implemented slowly and over time on specific goods, that wouldnt be that bad for the country and the world, but thats not whats happened at all. It like a few of trumps policies, the idea isnt necessarily that bad, but the execution is terrible
No. In the history of the world tariffs have never resulted in a good outcome.
Tariffs are important to emerging markets as they allow for growth of domestic production. Generally they are a part of a phased liberalization strategy to promote local growth and then tariffs are eased to allow foreign corporations to enter the market so that there is adequate competition.
Not much of a precedent for the richest country on earth to use them. America lost quite a bit of manufacturing to China so some degree of protectionism directed that way could be a reasonable strategy but a global tariff instituted by a wealthy nation is essentially pants on head stupid, which is what I believe you’re pointing out.
America’s problems are largely internal inequality. Trying to punish the world won’t fix that.
In theory they can be good for emerging domestic markets, but ever since global trade has been established centuries ago, it has never actually resulting in a net gain for the country/region/kingdom/empire that imposes any sort of self-paying tax on imported goods.
The self-paying tax part is the important part here.
Agree that it doesn’t exactly cause a net gain in these markets since it can be so hard to know when to let your foot off the brake but it certainly has been a tool for protecting certain markets from Western hegemony, which would be modern day colonialism by some standards.
If only rocket launchers had a more diegetic way to indicate where the rocket comes out.
A bit outdated, but Trump is indeed aiming at the consumers to hit the target of bringing back production to the USA.

Deserved. All people from the US deserve this.
Here’s the Wikipedia article on Splitting. AKA, black and white thinking.
Scroll down to the section on disorders, you might want to get that seen about.

Well duh. Since this isn’t debate club, I wasn’t trying to debate and can’t be fucked about logical fallacies.
They were being childish so I was childish. Wasn’t hiding being American.
But hey, defend the braindead take above.
Rude
Well, 75 million American adults didn’t deserve this, plus all the minors. Everyone else is either guilty or massively complicit.
Only time I’m proud to be a member of “millions of Americans” is in the context of voting against this hellscape the rest wanted and seem happy with.
Last I checked in the US the children pledge allegiance to the flag. Which means they’re confirmed to be involved even in a small way.
It’s only USA logic applied back to itself.
Yeah fuck those kids for getting indoctrinated, they should die tbh
You absolute psychopath
This is USA logic and how they treated the Vietnamese, Iraqis, Afghans and more. I don’t understand how your own logic is upsetting you.
You know I’m pretty sure something like that was said by US officials about the kids in Gaza. It’s literally your own logic.
Americans, like every demographic, are not a monolith. This is not my own logic.
They sure treat everyone else as a monolith. It’s just their own logic applied back to them dude.
195 million or so of you do deserve it as that’s the approximate number of adults in your country.
Edit sorry the 195 is the approximate amount of adult who didn’t vote Harris.
Yeah, fuck everyone, including the people that voted against the orange turd.
Sorry I did the calculations but didn’t type it correctly. 195 is the approx amount of adults once you take away the 74 or so million who voted Harris.
Harris voters deserve it the most. Don’t be passing them by.
God I wish I had this simplistic a view of the world. It seems so easy to form opinions when you’re incredibly fucking stupid
Oh, I don’t live in the US. But yeah, every eligible voter, minus those who actively voted against it.
Even Keanu Reeves?

Hell yeah bro lol, just like those stupid people in Venezuela and Bolivia and El Salvador who got what they paid for, fuck 'em all to death
Last I checked the USA had deployed an iron fist to those countries multiple times over.
I sincerely hope you’re sarcastic and you’re not that xenophobic.
JDPON Don is just speed running the collapse of the empire.
Absolutely. Every single American has sat back and watched their entire lives as their country and corporations raped and pillaged them and the entire world. Fuck your egg prices, fuck your slavery constitution, fuck your 401K and FUCK YOU AMERICA.
Americans deserve every pain imaginable.
They are people from the US. Americans are people from the continent of America.
