And here is the challenge. Most people don’t understand the value in better tariff agreements. All they get is lies from the mainstream media and deceitful advertisements from car dealerships. The result is fear. If a price goes up one penny, everyone is quick to blame it on the tariffs. It will take a little time for President Trump, so give him some time. But, here are some other things people are blaming on the tariffs.
Homework
“My dog ate my homework” is out. Now, it is “I couldn’t do my homework because of the tariffs.” You don’t even need to offer any more details. Your far-left liberal teacher will fully comprehend this excuse. Especially since she could barely get to work because of the tariffs.
Breaking Up
No more “let’s just be friends” or “we should go our separate ways.” Now, you can just say, “I can’t continue our relationship because of the tariffs.”
Stubbed Toe
Instead of yelling an obscenity at the desk when you stub your toe, you can redirect your anger by yelling “Stupid tariffs!” It is the fault of the tariffs after all.
DUI
The next time you are stopped for driving under the influence (DUI), you can tell the police officer that you were swerving because of the tariffs. Not because of drinking.
Donations
When a poor person asks you for money at a traffic light, you can simply tell them that you have no money because of the tariffs. Unfortunately, the poor person doesn’t have money regardless of the tariffs. Nonetheless, it gives you an excuse.
Doctor
If you are a doctor, then you’ll like this one. Let’s say you have to deliver bad news to a patient about a diagnosis. Now you can tell your patient “I’m sorry you have this disease, but it is caused by the tariffs.” What an easier message to deliver.
Mechanic
A mechanic can ease the pain of a major repair now by saying something like “You need a new transmission because of those tariffs.”
Inside Out
You wake up groggy and accidentally put your shirt on inside out. When you get to work, someone points out that your shirt is inside out. So, you angrily reply “Those darn tariffs!”
Court
You are a MS-13 gang member in court for beheading a woman. When the Biden-appointed judge asks you why you did it, you tell her “It was because of the tariffs.” She agrees, and sets you free. That is today’s judicial system defined.
Scooby Doo
The end of a Scooby Doo episode can now be changed. As the bad guys are being handcuffed, they can say “If it wasn’t for these tariffs, we would have gotten away with it. Unfortunately, it kind of diminishes the effort of Scooby and the gang.
Dog Bite
Let’s say you take your dog for a walk and he bites a passerby. You quickly tell the passerby that “Fido just hasn’t been the same since the tariffs.” Lawsuit averted.
Three Pigs
The three little pigs keep building houses and the big bad wolf keeps blowing them over. But, the pigs can’t afford to build a brick house. So, when the big bad wolf comes to blow their new home down, they tell him that they can’t afford a brick house. He understands, and tells them he can’t get enough air to blow because of the tariffs. This is silly, but it is a great representation of the way people are acting about the tariffs.
