they get to inflate the bubble via broad product misrepresentation and bogus math
then dole out sage warnings about a looming problem they created as if they played no role in it

He says that with a smirk on his face, taking pleasure that new graduates have a gutted out job market waiting for them. These are the kinds of guys we have “leading” our economy!
Kevin Hassett: "I think there could be a little bit of an almost quiet time in the labor market, because firms are finding that AI is making their workers so productive that they don't necessarily have to hire the new kids out of college and so on."

All it means! The clown supposedly went to “business” school and doesn’t know how loans and interest rates work. Also explains why he bankrupts everything he touches and routinely committed mortgage fraud throughout his life.
INGRAHAM: Is a 50 year mortgage really a good idea?
TRUMP: It's not even a big deal. You go from 40 to 50 years. All it means is you pay less per month

Yup. It turns out massively destabilizing trade in and out of the country is bad for people importing to build factories in order to export stuff.
Also, they’ve pretty much killed CHIPS and Science, the largest domestic manufacturing bill in recent history.

Trump's hopeless tariffs confusion, explained by a historian
“He wants the society of the 1950s with the policies of the 1890s. But you literally don’t get the society of the 1950s without a comprehensive rejection of the policies of the 1890s, even by Republicans."

Yes, it's a TMI joke. And yes, it matters. Because credible trade policy requires consistency—and we’re not seeing it.

The Trump budget math is simply this: Cut taxes for the rich, cut spending that helps everyone else, and pay for it by taxing working Americans through tariffs.

Of the 77 million people who voted for Trump, I think only a few million are stupid enough to believe what he says. Which means the rest of them like his lies. They think he’s lying righteously to hurt the people they hate: libs, dark-skinned people, pushy women.
