I wish newspapers wouldn't treat all these executive orders as though they all have teeth and power and stuff. Lots of them are just the fulminations of a geriatric clown and mean nothing or will be overturned in court or are just distractions from what Trump wants to hide about his Epstein crimes.

As of today, thanks to Trump, Americans are paying the highest tariff rate since 1933.
And the average household is going to lose out on $2,400 thanks to Trump's tariffs.
You are paying more for almost everything because of Trump himself.
