The reason Trump has slapped tariffs on the entire world is not to protect American workers.
What Trump cares about is being able to get concessions out of other countries and corporations that seek exemptions.
It's all about his ability to hand out punishments and rewards.

We should all be talking about how Musk is attempting to become more powerful/popular than Trump and then let Trump do the dirty work for us. No way Trump's ego could handle it.

They're going to normalize this by following Elon's approach.
"It's just trolling"
This is what they do. Using irony as a mask to hide the obvious. They're nazism

Father Calvin Robinson finished his remarks at the National Pro-Life Summit by throwing an Elon Musk salute, much to the delight of the crowd.

Eleven counts. The first two both invoking terrorism. The ruling class is treating killing one of their own, with the motive being related to the evils of our health care system, as a fundamentally different act than if you or I were to be murdered.
Breaking: A Manhattan grand jury has indicted Luigi Mangione on first-degree murder, second-degree murder as a crime of terrorism, and nine other offenses linked to the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

The net worth of the four richest Americans just hit $1 trillion combined.
Yes, you read that right. Trillion. With 12 zeros.
There is no reason that type of wealth should exist while average Americans struggle to afford rent and get food on their tables. Tax the rich.

A bunch of people who have never been interested in protecting kids from school shootings want to protect CEOs from being shot. I just think it's revealing that these people can't help but show us which lives they think matter at every turn.

A reminder that most news media we consume is owned by billionaires or multi-millionaires.
They'll do everything in their power to trivialize our very real frustration with private healthcare by only discrediting Mangione and ignoring the fact private healthcare kills thousands of ppl each year.

One thing that is interesting about the coverage of the UHC shooting is that the media is doing everything it can to tear down Mangione (e.g. he’s from a wealthy family, etc) but would never expend that much effort to talk about how private insurance kills thousands of Americans each year.
