Trump understands that tariff threats like the ones he posted this morning move markets downward. He's not ignorant about that dynamic. The question is which person or interest around him is gaining from it.

Republicans keep telling us how much he “sacrificed” and “gave up” to run for president. His net worth was leveraged smoke and mirrors in 2016. Not anymore.

In the dead of night, Republicans voted to:
✔️ Slash Medicaid & Medicare-people won’t be able to see their Dr when sick
✔️ Gut SNAP—kids will starve
✔️ Raise electric bills
✔️ Hike college costs

All while cutting taxes for billionaires. Americans will suffer. We won’t forget.
