They’re killing any attempt by the markets to recoup losses.
There can be little doubt anymore.
They want to crash the markets and shrink the economy.
They cannot explain their blanket tariffs or subsequent escalations.
They’re even going after countries where we have surpluses.
It’s sabotage.

US has stopped intelligence sharing with Ukraine in a renewed effort to aid Russia's invasion. The US under Trump is quickly becoming an active participant on the side of Russia.
The latest move comes as the Russian allied Trump government failed to extort Ukraine to surrender.

Bezos shut down the Washington Post editorial page today.
There’s no reason to read anything that’s just a dictate from a Trumpist billionaire. The Post editorial page is now as good—that is, as useless—as state-sponsored media.
A disgrace the paper will never outlive.
