Grifty has plans to eliminate the federal income tax (which, though he didn't pay it, was a disincentive to losing more of other people's momey), and raise 700 billion through tariffs.

Apparently the EU called his bluff, and proposed some zero-tariff regime.

“We have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods as we have successfully done with many other trading partners. Because Europe is always ready for a good deal. So we keep it on the table,” she told a press conference alongside Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. 

The U.S. and EU came close to scrapping industrial tariffs a decade ago in their discussions of the TTIP — the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership — that was ultimately scuppered by Trump in his first term.

With tariffs at 0, there would be no revenue to finance a tax cut.

So how would Grifty finance his tax cuts?

With a tax cut, of course.

Duh.

The great narcissist paradox: rules apply to everyone else, just never to him. Veghead can post 400 questions a day, demand instant answers, quote timestamps, ask for sources, blood types, and shoe sizes—but the moment you ask a question about his own OP, he vanishes behind a wall of smug one-liners and demands you answer his questions instead. So, let’s count:

• Number of times Veghead has asked questions and demanded responses from others- Easily over 200.
• Number of times he’s directly answered a serious question about one of his own threads without deflecting, insulting, or stalling- Somewhere between zero and “hold on while I quote your post out of context again.”

The man treats every question like it’s beneath him—unless he’s asking it. Classic narcissism: constant need for control, no accountability, and allergic to playing by the same rules he screams at everyone else to follow. But hey—keep dodging, Veghead. I’ll keep counting.
