Speechless Trump Supporters Comebacks TikTok
Whether it's a conservative family member, coworker, or even an acquaintance who loves to debate politics, we've all endured a conversation with a Trump supporter. But no matter how much one might try to keep the conversation civil, there comes a point when the interaction needs to end before tempers fully flare. However, it can be difficult to think of the perfect response to put a stop to it...
That's why when TikTok user @dylanschreibman asked, "Tell me the most silencing thing you have said to a Trump supporter. I'm talking jaw-dropping, they couldn't comeback type of statement," people of all ages shared their best retorts to MAGA voters, and I, for one, am taking notes. Without further ado, here are 23 responses that left Trump supporters SPEECHLESS:
"I like to list Trump's worst policies, but pretend they're Harris or Biden policies. Then when a MAGA voter agrees the policies are awful, I tell them whose they truly are. They never know how to respond."

"After arguing with a cisgender man over preferred pronouns, I reached behind him and said, 'Excuse me, ma'am.'"
"I was arguing with a MAGA supporter, and he said Biden had cognitive dissonance. I asked him to define the term, and he said it meant that 'No one was home upstairs.'"
"I knew someone who told her parents she was going out with a sexually abusive, convicted felon who had gone bankrupt four times. Her parents flipped out. Then she told them she was describing Trump."
"I was talking to a (male) Trump supporter who was trying to blame the cost of healthcare on Biden. He said 'The government shouldn't be in the doctor's office' and I asked him, 'Does your stance on this apply to just men, or women too?'"
"When someone tells me they voted for Trump because they're a Christian, my response is always, 'Which one of Jesus' teachings do you feel Trump most embodies?' I always get silence."
"I'm a teacher. When a Trump-supporting acquaintance asked me how school was going, I said I was done with most of the 'gender reassignment' surgeries for the year, but still had a few to go."

"When a Trump supporter says they're glad DEI has been taken down, I get them to say the whole thing out loud and tell me that they're against 'Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.' They don't like that."
"A coworker pulled the 'Why can't we disagree on politics and still be friends' card, and I said, 'We can disagree on taxes, but if we disagree on human rights, I don't want to be friends with bigots.'"
"I was walking my dog when an older couple approached, and I noticed the husband was wearing a Trump hat. When they asked to pet my dog, I told them he doesn't like racists. The wife was shocked; it was definitely the first time someone had called them out."
—walkswithace
"Honestly, they get SO ANGRY when I tell them, 'I hope you get everything you voted for' or 'Have the day you voted for!' Why do they get mad? Do they realize they made a poor decision?"
'I asked a Trump supporter, 'So you're telling me you care more about money than the women in your life?' The next day, he told me it felt like I had punched him in the gut."
"Someone walked into my store and told me to 'Buy American clothing,' so I followed up with, 'You first, babe, ' and asked to see the tag on the inside of their gross red hat."
—gypseafleurboutique
"MAGA voters get really mad when you say Trump has never won an election against a man."
"A man once told me he worries about his daughter now that so many transgender people are in bathrooms. I told him, 'If you want to know who to look out for, look in the mirror. Because the bad guys look like you.'"
"I showed a Trump supporter photos I had taken of grocery and gas prices on November 6 versus those on that particular day. They said, 'We can agree to disagree,' and blocked me."
—rebecca.thecrafter
"In response to 'I'd like to see Obama's birth certificate,' I said, 'I'd like to see Trump's taxes for the past 10 years.' For some reason, they didn't want to talk politics anymore."
"I told my dad, 'You told me to stand up for myself when a man is being disrespectful, and that's what I did by not voting for Trump.'"
"I was talking to an older guy wearing a MAGA hat and said, 'Sorry, but respecting your elders is a DEI practice, and your hat shows you're against DEI.'"
—not.a.lobster
"My former boss was going on an anti-abortion rant, so I asked him, 'What about the lives of the two children you abandoned?' (He's a deadbeat dad). I got fired."
"I always like to tell a Trump supporter, 'You could've just said you didn't care about anyone but yourself and I would've respected you more for your honesty.'"
"I was talking with a guy I knew from high school, and he mentioned Biden's taxes on individuals who make more than $450,000 a year. I looked him in the eye and said, 'You and your home with popcorn ceilings will be just fine.'"
"I asked my dad if he would leave me alone in a room with Trump. Silence."

China Rejects Trump's Accusation That It Violated Trade Truce
China said on Monday that the United States had 'severely undermined' the trade truce the two countries reached last month, striking back against President Trump's accusations that it was violating the terms of their agreement. In a statement, China's Ministry of Commerce called Mr. Trump's attacks on social media last week 'baseless.' He had accused Beijing of failing to live up to its end of their trade deal, a 90-day rollback of tariffs and other trade barriers to give the two countries more time to negotiate and prevent an all-out trade war. China's commerce ministry said it had continued to honor its agreement responsibly and accused the United States of 'erroneous practices' by introducing a series of 'discriminatory restrictive measures.' These included restrictions on the sale of chip design software to China and barring American companies from using or financing artificial intelligence chips from the Chinese technology giant Huawei. It also criticized the Trump administration's announcement that it planned to 'aggressively revoke' the visas of Chinese students and that it would enhance scrutiny of all future applications from China, including Hong Kong. 'The U.S. side has unilaterally escalated new economic and trade frictions, exacerbating the uncertainty and instability of bilateral economic and trade relations,' the ministry wrote in its statement. 'Instead of reflecting on its own actions, it has turned the blame onto China.' China said it would take measures to 'safeguard its legitimate rights and interests' if the United States continued to harm Chinese interests. The growing confrontation over the fragile trade truce between the world's two largest economies has raised questions about whether they can strike a permanent accord within the 90-day deadline. The United States has grown increasingly concerned about access to rare earth magnets, which are crucial for producing cars, semiconductors, aircraft and other vital items. China maintains a near monopoly on the production of rare earth metals. American companies' ability to keep factories running could be in jeopardy without a sufficient supply of those magnets. Jamieson Greer, the U.S. trade representative who negotiated the deal along with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, said during a Friday appearance on CNBC that China was 'slow-rolling their compliance' and that the flow of some critical minerals has not returned to levels that American officials were expecting. The agreement, announced on May 12, offered a temporary reprieve to the escalating trade tensions between the two largest economies. The United States had pushed tariffs on Chinese imports to 145 percent and China responded by raising import duties on American products to 125 percent. Under the truce, the United States agreed to lower its tariffs to 30 percent, while China cut its import tax to 10 percent for 90 days. Amy Chang Chien contributed reporting from Taipei.

CNBC Daily Open: It's a dicey matter to play 'chicken' in markets
When threatened, birds puff up their feathers to appear larger than they actually are, and squawk to signal aggression. On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested he would no longer be "Mr. NICE GUY" to China after the country "totally violated" its trade agreement with America. The same day, Trump said he would raise tariffs on steel imports to 50% from 25%. The escalations follow a détente in May, during which Trump reached a trade deal with the U.K., agreed with Beijing to sharply reduce reciprocal import duties and delayed for more than a month a tariff of 50% on the European Union — two days after announcing it. Those glad tidings lifted stocks. For May, the S&P 500 rose 6.2% and the Nasdaq Composite jumped 9.6%, with both indexes enjoying their best month since November 2023. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 3.9% for the month. But the mood among investors might change quickly, depending on communication coming from the White House. The word "chicken" is used as a metaphor for cowardice. In reality, they can be dangerous — there have been reports of humans being killed by Colonel Sanders' favorite bird. Asia markets start June in the redU.S. markets traded mixed Friday. The S&P 500 was flat, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.13% and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.32%. Futures tied to the three indexes ticked down Sunday evening stateside. Asia-Pacific stocks fell Monday. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index dropped 1.9% and Japan's Nikkei 225 lost 1.32% at 1:30 p.m. Singapore time. Expected Trump-Xi talkTrade tensions between China and the U.S. are escalating. On Monday, Beijing claimed that the White House's "export control measures" breach the two countries' agreement reached in Geneva, Switzerland, refuting Trump's claim on Friday that China has "TOTALLY VIOLATED" it. That said, reconciliation could happen as Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to discuss trade negotiations "this week," U.S. National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett said on Sunday. Trump says he'll double steel tariffsTrump on Friday told steelworkers at U.S. Steel that he will raise import duties on steel to 50% from 25%. The new import duties will start June 4, the president posted on Truth Social. On Saturday, the European Union said it is "prepared to impose countermeasures, including in response to the latest U.S. tariff increase." Even so, "tariffs are not going away," U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on "Fox News Sunday." Musk cuts himself from DOGEElon Musk bid farewell to his role at the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency Friday. Musk said on Sunday that he doesn't want to "take responsibility for everything the administration's doing," expressing disappointment at the White House's "massive spending bill." Tesla shares lost 14% this year amid Musk's involvement in politics, but gained 22% in May following Musk's April statement he would spend less time at DOGE. Australia's Soul Patts and Brickworks to mergeShares of Australian investment firm Washington H. Soul Pattinson, also known as Soul Patts, spiked more than 15%, and its affiliate Brickworks rocketed over 25% after both companies announced a merger of 14 billion Australian dollars ($9 billion). As part of the deal, a new company listed in Sydney will acquire all outstanding shares of Soul Patts and Brickworks. The merged entity will have holdings across real estate, private equity and credit totaling A$13.1 billion. [PRO] May jobs report in focusThe U.S. nonfarm payrolls report for May, out Friday, will provide more information on how the economy is holding up amid Trump's multiple tariffs —and play a big role in determining whether the May rally in stocks still has legs. Economists expect the number of jobs added in May to dip from April. It misses the forecast, markets could take a downturn as the White House appears to ratchet up its tariff rhetoric. Investors are piling into big, short Treasury bets alongside Warren Buffett Investors always pay close attention to bonds, and what the latest movement in prices and yields is saying about the economy. Right now, the action is telling investors to stick to the shorter-end of the fixed-income market with their maturities. Long-term treasuries and long-term corporate bonds have posted negative performance since September, which is very rare, said Todd Sohn, senior ETF and technical strategist at Strategas Securities, on "ETF Edge." The only other time that's happened in modern times was during the Financial Crisis," he added. "It is hard to argue against short-term duration bonds right now." It would seem that Warren Buffett agrees, with Berkshire Hathaway doubling its ownership of T-bills and now owning 5% of all short-term Treasuries, according to a recent JPMorgan report.

Looking for an edge, Democrats? Just look around you.
Here's a simple, cost-effective, noncontroversial, and human response to the chaos: storytelling. Telling stories about the real-life human consequences of this administration's policies and directives could cut through the noise. Run 15-second spots about real people and their stories nationally across multiple platforms from now to the midterms and beyond. Get The Gavel A weekly SCOTUS explainer newsletter by columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr. Enter Email Sign Up Hear from a mother returning food when the grocery bill is too high, a student dropping out of college because child care is unavailable or too expensive, a pizza shop owner without a dishwasher, or a contractor who cannot find painters. Watch a parent being arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement with their children watching. Show a grandfather waiting hours to talk to Social Security, or a woman taking her medication every other day because health care costs are too high. All in 15 seconds each. Advertisement By telling people about the results of policy decisions and executive actions in clear, simple ways, the Democratic Party can create a groundswell of informed, engaged citizens ready to advocate for change and hold their leaders accountable. It would be powerful. Advertisement Deborah Heller Boston Democrats shouldn't get lost in words A Washington Post report featured in the Globe ('Debate revives over left-wing buzzwords,' Political Notebook, May 27) suggests that terms like 'Food insecurity' sounds like an anxiety disorder. Children in the depths of poverty are not experiencing food insecurity. They are hungry or starving. The Trump regime is not an oligarchy; rather, it is a dictatorship with one ruler enabled by people like Marco Rubio and Mike Johnson, who are not fellow oligarchs but, rather, bootlickers or, to use the fancy Greek word, sycophants. In 'Politics and the English Language,' George Orwell demonstrates how politicians use vague, sugar-coated, euphemistic terms (like 'food insecurity') to justify behavior, policy, or circumstances that cannot be justified. Such words are lies in disguise. Donald Trump's supporters often say they like him because he speaks his mind. He's upfront. He doesn't talk euphemistically, like other politicians. No disguises. Right. He just lies and lies and lies. The mystery is why so many Trump supporters don't seem to care how often or how blatantly he does so. John R. Nelson Gloucester The writer is a professor emeritus of English at North Shore Community College. The poor get poorer while the Trump family gets richer An article on Page A6 of the May 26 Boston Globe was headlined Advertisement The Democrats certainly have to promote a better path forward, but highlighting Trump's abuses while putting forward a plan for the future would be a foundation on which to build. There's so much at stake for the economy, health, education, the environment, and the rule of law that Democrats can champion in contrast to the utter destruction we're seeing now. John Cotter Melrose If populism thrives on grievance, we need a new brand of populism As Larry Edelman and countless other commentators have pointed out, populism thrives on grievance ( We've seen increasing signs of the human tropism toward divisiveness and an 'us against them' mentality. A 'revenge is sweet' refrain now echoes around the world. It's considered not just sweet but justified. Not just justified but necessary. Populism will always thrive on carefully choosing its targets. And though hurting Harvard or immigrants or health research will improve the lives of no one, that doesn't matter. Revenge is rarely rational or well-reasoned. It's emotionally intoxicating. Therein lies the enduring lure of populism. Until the Democrats figure out how to build their own brand of populism, one that captures the hearts, souls, and imaginations of the populace, we will all be forced to endure life in an 'us against them' society.
