Add this to the fact that every time Trump golfs at one of his own resorts, he jacks up the hotel rates for the Secret Service.
The American people foot the bill—and he pockets the cash. That’s the waste, fraud and abuse DOGE should be exposing.

This, right here, is why tariffs cause depressions.
My husband and I run a game store and after all the tariff announcements, he decided to write out kind of a "behind the scenes" of how we spend and spill it out for people who don't understand. He's had so many reactions and shares I wanted to bring it here, too.

Sad but true. Anybody in the US who did not heed the warning and still voted for this nightmare deserves to suffer the consequences.
Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

The president is asserting an unreviewable power to seize any person off the street and ship him to a dungeon abroad. Nobody can say this is an overreaction or alarmism or "TDS" when this is literally what the administration is doing right now.
