Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

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.
