Drumpf's MAGA Economy - The Theory of Supply-Hoard Economics

Oh, this is just way too beautiful:

Two Trump administration officials and a Trump aide tell Rolling Stone that they have done some stockpiling of their own in recent weeks or months, and that they know others working in Republican politics — inside and outside of the administration — who are doing the same. One of the Trump officials says they have already run to Target to bulk-buy toilet paper, some types of food, and other household supplies. 

When asked why they’re doing this, the Trump aide — who says they and their partner have done similar household-supply hoarding lately, and are also “stashing cash” reserves in their D.C.-area home — simply replies: “Because it would be stupid not to!”

These guys are "spooked" because they know what's coming.  Meanwhile, Ma and Pa MAGA are rumbling around in their gas-guzzling jumbo trucks, investing in bitcoin and Drumpf NFT's, and spending like drunken sailors on shore leave, believing with every fiber of their miserable beings that their lord and savior Donald Drumpf and his magic tariffs economy will protect them and their blue-state tax largess from harm.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

Yeah.  That was most definitely worth the loud guffaw imho.

But seriously folks - if some of Drumpf's own people are stockpiling and hoarding right now, what does that tell you, hmm??

 

*And let's be clear.  It goes without saying that this is not a call for people to begin hoarding supplies themselves.  At minimum it should at least give cause for folks to wonder why these Drumpf admin officials and Republican political operatives would be doing so, especially considering how confident they all seem to be publicly of their bosses tariff decisions and stewardship of the economy.
