Tariffs are showing up on your bill hidden in the price of products that are significantly higher now than they were before tariffs. Imported agricultural machinery cost more. Businesses aren't taking the big hits; they're passing most of the tariffs to customers/consumers.

Think it’s important to point out that while he may have the DOJ under his thumb, he most decidedly does not have the courts.
We have a federal administration led by idiots and criminals.

You simply cannot convince me that he doesn’t need to be reminded what year it is with alarming frequency.
Trump: "Reagan was not good on trade ... he had the big shootout with Japan and he folded, and they came in and took our car market ... every president we had over the last 50 years was bad on trade. Every single one. But I'm real good on trade."

there are two things about this, one is that there is no prime minister of switzerland, he's talking about the president of the swiss confederation, which is a different thing entirely, and, two, i'm not sure you could make a more persuasive case to SCOTUS for nuking tariffs than this one
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

For perspective, that would be like 1/4 the size of Washington, D.C.
Trump: "I'm letting everybody that builds a plant build their own electric plant. So they're building a massive plant that's 4 miles long by 4 miles wide, and I'm letting them build electric plants. Some are nuclear, some are oil and gas, some are coal as a backup just in case."

Donald Trump doesn't even attempt to fake concern for the national good, he is focused only on power. He doesn't want a third term, he doesn't want another election.

He is clearly in the latter stages of dementia. Republicans and the media know this. It’s terrifying that they’ve let it get this far. Does he need to throw his shit at someone before this is taken seriously?

Q: Can you explain why Trump asked Schumer to help him rename Penn Station and Dulles Airport after himself?

But GOA opposes any law that requires showing a drivers license to buy a gun.
