We’re often told that MAGA voters admire Trump because he’s a “straight shooter”—someone who tells it like it is. But there’s no shortage of evidence to the contrary. From conspiracy theories to bizarre tangents (see: eating the pets), he frequently strays into fantasyland.

Now, with his chaotic and ill-defined tariff “plan” (or concept of a plan) creating uncertainty and actually starting to hit everyone’s wallets Trump suddenly doesn’t appreciate others telling it like it is. He lashes out when Jeff Bezos threatens to highlight the real cost of tariffs at Amazon, or when Walmart states the obvious: prices are going up due to Trump’s tariffs..

Apparently, being a “straight shooter” only works when he’s the one holding the gun—and no one’s allowed to return fire with facts.
