Does anyone still have a TiVo machine? Do they still make them?
Donald Trump extolled the virtues of Tivo yesterday at his rally. He also likes fax machines, and VCR’s. Or Betamax. He listens to 8 tracks in his car. He’s an old school guy.
No one has told Trump that DVR long ago replaced Tivo. He’s still “taping” shows. He doesn’t realize that digital has replaced all of this. “It’s the greatest invention!” he says of TiVo. He thinks it’s 2002.
See the video below.
Trump also has no idea what tariffs are. He told the crowd that tariffs “Don’t affect this country.”
Um, Donald, they do. Tariffs increase the price of imported goods. But instead of deterring their purchase by consumers, they cause prices to rise, thus affecting US consumers. They have a negative effect on economic growth.
Also, see below.
Donald Trump: A tariff is a tax on a foreign country. A lot of people like to say it’s a tax on us. No… It’s is a tax that doesn’t affect our country. @Acyn
