Instructions unclear. Now I have bloody capitalist with leg stumps on my floor.
True. I was bluffing. I've don't even know how to short things.
LOL. The stock market is taking an absolute nosedive. I guess I should "short" something, or whatever.
I don't know. I've heard them spout rhetoric about it for years, but you're right that it's not typically all that front-burner. Usually it's just lumped in with all the "national debt" nonsense about how we're selling our grandchildren to China or whatever.
I figure it's just a reach into the grab-bag of excuses. Trump's been going with the whole "It's just retaliatory; not aggressive/preemptive/etc" since I think the first time his tariff threats fell through. So it's..."consistent" to just find a disclaimer to use when making numbers up for an info-propagand-fic and try to make it look all mature and generous (many numbers in right column appear to be less/half of those in the previous; how magnanimous!).
They mean they're making excuses to just pull numbers out of their asses. There's nothing measurable about those things.
get ready for almost everything to be 15% to 60% more expensive
We're just not going to call it "inflation".
Did he take his toupee off and hold it to his chest? Maybe we need a :trump-mourns: emoji of that.
because of its powerful artificial intelligence that can collect data on app users and use it to tailor ads
Nice when they're honest about what "AI" is for, at least. 
People just didn't appreciate his genius. 
What if people were to storm the Bastille?
Not saying they should, mind you. Just asking questions.
I believe Tortuguita was in a (ground) tent, not a tree. Not that it's going to matter to the fascist pigs.
