It’s not a question of easy, but of expense. All Trump wants is to do is funnel tax payer funded development money to his pals, as well as reward them with a hoard of oil reserves. The fact that it will likely never pay off for us is not his concern.

Nothing on Jack Smith’s testimony in today’s paper? Just evergreen filler like this? Oh well, maybe we’ll get some actual reporting after the holidays. But I’m not holding my breath.

Just because Trump thinks he is something doesn’t mean we have to play along. In fact, given his tendencies, we’re obligated to push back, and it is always disappointing when those best in a position to do shirk their responsibility.

“Nothing new”, is that all? It’s staggering how far the Post has apparently fallen.

So in other words he’s going to be at the front of the line with his hand out when Trump dispenses taxpayer funded tariff relief

True story or not, it’s yet another sign the top income tax bracket is way too low.

Oh they have a plan (flood the market with junk health insurance with sky-high deductibles and 100% denial rates), they just need time to wreck the current system first

It would be better if they also raised questions about the state of Trump’s mental fitness, but sure.

What I find infuriating is there are plenty of Democrats harmed by Trump, but they rarely get in-depth coverage like this - the subtext is only MAGA voices count - only harm to MAGA voters is noteworthy

I was lucky enough to get a job at an employee-owned company while it was still relatively small. What an amazingly rewarding and profitable experience. I wholeheartedly endorse your proposal.

I say this as a person who wants to change people’s minds about trans kids participating in sports rather than giving in on the issue: please stop with the purity tests. Personally satisfying as they may be, there are less destructive options for influencing our political discourse

The worst credulous stenography. At the very least WaPo could have mentioned Todd Blanche was Trump’s personal lawyer at his 2024 criminal trial. Worthless, even harmful reporting.

Tariffs are a regressive tax on consumers. Why would any sane government recklessly impose them on their citizens? EU folks are going to boycott US products and services anyway. I’m guessing we will see a muted response to Trump shooting his economy in the foot (if he doesn’t chicken out first)
