Alan Beattie: "Trump’s shakedowns of trading partners and corporations for tax revenue (even entirely leaving aside the issue of his personal wealth) resemble a mafia boss or a crony-capitalist dictator in a developing country. It’s actually worse than that."

Trump’s roving banditry will undermine the US economy
On tariffs and tax the president acts like a mafia boss, but not a very good one

The WSJ Editorial Board has been making more sense than anything coming from Trump’s minions. Focus on China and our strategic interests in trade there. Meanwhile, quietly negotiate any bilateral trade disputes with allies. Unfortunately, our credibility is gone. www.wsj.com/opinion/chin...
Opinion | Does Trump Have a China Trade Strategy?
If he wants Beijing to change, he needs the allies he’s tariffing.

Yes, it’s about the tariffs. More importantly, Trump is violating existing law by claiming a decades-long problem (his words) a national emergency that gives him the power to enact tariffs despite the law not saying he can. He is owed NO time to violate laws. Johnson and the GOP are fully complicit.

Corrupt AG spends taxpayer dollars to claim NCAA is defrauding Texas consumers because of maybe 10 trans athletes in the country. Just another attempt to demand the rest of us follow his religious beliefs. www.espn.com/espn/story/_...

The fact that he did this and we allow him to be back in the office is incomprehensible.

Republicans decided to politicize science. Why? Too smart? Policy must never be influenced by facts?
The National Institutes of Health, the world’s leading public funder of biomedical research, has long benefited from broad bipartisan support. But come January, when President-elect Trump and congressional Republicans take charge, the NIH may face a reckoning.
Long a ‘Crown Jewel’ of Government, N.I.H. Is Now a Target
The agency long benefited from broad bipartisan support. But Republican criticism has intensified, and new choices for top health posts hope to upend the organization.
