THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Nonetheless, holy shit.
What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

Trump should obviously be impeached. Either he has lost control, or he is using his power to do obviously illegal things.

The United States is under attack. Elon Musk—who has been elected to nothing and is a deeply troubled person—is literally destroying our government from the inside and doing so without authority or consent of the governed. Working on a report on this right now. It’s an emergency.

In 2017, we had only 6 Democratic trifecta states.
In 2025, we’ll have 15. And we control even more mayorships and city councils. There’s enormous opportunity to go on offense in states and cities to protect residents and offer a safe-haven to red state residents under threat: indivisible.org/guide

Trump's recklessness, impulsiveness, idiocy and extremism have all been on full display these last few weeks.

Texas is now ground zero in both Trump's tariff and mass deportation strategies. No state may be more impacted by either and/or both. Natl media should be relentlessly talking to Texas political, business leaders about how they are preparing for the coming extraordinary disruptions.
Trump announces that on his first day in office, he’s going to put a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada and an extra 10% tariff on China.
Stock up on whatever you need before January 20 - everything is about to get more expensive. Groceries, cars, medications, all of it.
