Trump’s wealthy donors will weather his tariff storm just fine – while you pay more at the checkout line.

And don’t forget: they get a new round of big fat tax cuts, too.

Musk's PAC offers $100 to Wisconsin voters in pitch against "activist judges"
The move reflects how Musk is throwing his considerable wealth behind Trump's priorities — including an upcoming election in Wisconsin for a crucial seat on the state's Supreme Court.
