It turns out most of Trump's Tariffs plan was published last year and no one read it (archive.ph)

His Art of the Deal was published DECADES ago abd his opponents STILL haven't read it..

Starting to believe the left and joggers share the same mentality when it comes to non picture books.

Hey! The left reads, I can show you thousands of books the leftists buy like “this book is gay”,”genderqueer”, “Billionaires next door baby”, and the timeless classic “property of a rich nigga”

You forgot The Philosopher's Stone, The Chamber of Secrets, The Prisoner of Azkaban, and I think there were three or four others...all of which were written by [REDACTED]. They read those, like, 6 times a year.

They just buy them, they don't read them. They're accessory pieces. Or they read an article about the book written by a guy that only read the first pages.

If you think they aren’t reading “Boss’d up with a billionaire”, “single moms need love too”, “a billionaires BBW possession”, “forced to marry a millionaire menace 2”, “on chill with a billionaire”, or “a gangster’s BBW obsession” the we can’t find any common ground

Those ones definitely get read. Trashy romance are the biggest sellers.

Most people in general either outright lie about how many books they read or "speed read" them.

Wait, you mean everyone here hasn't read every book by Thomas Sowell and the entire Greek/Roman Philosophy spectrum?

Hah! I'm triggered.

I all seriousness, I haven't read any Sowell, and I don't really enjoy reading anything economic/social/political.

I do own several Greek and Roman stoic philosophy books (Meditations, Seneca, Epictetus) and "browse" them on a regular basis.

Beyond that, mostly fiction and programming texts.

I'm mostly poking fun at how every "recommend me some books/games" is the same handful of titles from people trying to flex how based they are.

Its not bad to read any of those things, most of them are great, but let's all be real now.

I think it's all journalists. Back in 2005 Satoru Iwata and Reggie Fils Aime said they used two books to plan out the Wii. Blue Ocean Marketing and The Innovators Solution.

No one read the books. They just made claims on what they said. I think this has happened several times, but no one has noticed because they don't read the books either.

Leftists believe the only purpose of literacy is to help propagate leftism.

Stephen Miran, widely viewed as the architect of Trump's trade policy, published a paper [title] in November of 2024

That might be why no one read it. Dems were looking at legal cases to stop Trump or panicking over every letter of the project 2025 boogeyman, while most of the press was focused on the possible cabinet picks and finding blame for Kamala's loss.

https://www.hudsonbaycapital.com/documents/FG/hudsonbay/research/638199_A_Users_Guide_to_Restructuring_the_Global_Trading_System.pdf

here's the paper if anyone's interested. I opted for a non-archived link for readability.

probably 80-90 percent of what I read goes over my head, but the logic seems sound in my admittedly biased view.
