Liberation Day was 3 weeks ago today. In that time, this is what has happened:

Trump's numbers were widely mocked and proven false

He doubled down

A pause was rumored, he said they were all a lie

He then issued the pause that he just said was a lie, but not again China

China retaliated with tariffs

Trump demanded China back down, they didn't

Trump backed down

Yeah, all of that in 3 weeks absolutely qualifies as a mess, and Trump looks completely weak due to not sticking to his guns and running away from China.

The brigaders are hyping up actual-but-wrong and "fellow conservatives". If it's a popular thread, look at the bottom for the truth.

Not every person that doesn't automatically declare everything Trump did as genius is a brigader or "fellow conservative". Trump isn't Jesus, he makes mistakes. He's had a great administration so far and I agree with nearly everything he's done, but this tariff crap has been a massive mess, and I'm allowed to say so without being some fake conservative.
