White House Sparks Outrage After Tweeting Unhinged Threat Amid Tariffs Pause

After President Trump announced that he'd be pausing his proposed tariffs for 90 days, the White House's official X account tweeted an all-caps threat.

The official White House X account drew backlash Wednesday after posting an open threat against any country that responds in kind to Trump’s on-again off-again tariffs.

Trump had once again put a pause on his trade war, but that didn't stop the White House from firing off an inflammatory tweet.


The official White House account posted:

"DO NOT RETALIATE AND YOU WILL BE REWARDED"

People got big sociopath energy from the Trump administration's message.

There were plenty of responses on X where the message was originally posted.










Other platforms also had a lot to say, especially Reddit where global subReddits gave a much needed outside perspective.

It wasn't very flattering for Trump or anyone who enables or ignores him.

International audiences saw a different energy behind the tweet.

Far more fascist than sociopathic.

But the rest of the world didn't seem to get the message that they should feel very intimidated by the Trump administration.

While some mourned what the United States had been, others pointed out the U.S. needs the world, but the world no longer needs them.

Redditors in the United States had another focus in mind.

Finding out who posted the message and others like it.

A message central to Trump’s three presidential campaigns was how respected the United States would be by the entire world if only he were President.

So far, that's another promise made, another promise not kept.

Guy Admits His Ignorance After Girlfriend Educates Him On What Really Happens During Menstruation—And He's Horrified

Women's health should be much more common knowledge than it is, but many subjects related to women—especially menstruation, pregnancy, and childbirth—are still considered pretty "taboo" subjects in public spaces, in shared educational spaces, and, of course, among men.

That's why there are so many men like TikToker @connortalkslol who only start finding out what menstruation really is and what the cycle entails when they go looking for the information themselves.
