This seems to be the elephant in the room.
The tariffs are meant to be permanent. Trump has said MANY times that he wants tariffs to replace or nearly eliminate the income tax (see this thread for examples). The media continues to frame his tariffs as a “bargaining chip” for other things. Tariffs ARE the objective.
So much self-inflicted suffering is coming because Trump thinks he can simply trade the income tax for the infinitely more regressive consumption tax (tariffs). The tariffs aren’t about fentanyl or other countries “ripping us off” — they’re about enriching oligarchs, but the plan will never work.

"The plans align with the Trump administration’s focus on crewed spaceflight. The White House has proposed a budget that would increase human spaceflight funds for 2026, even as it advocates for major slashes to other programs — including a nearly 50 percent cut for science missions."

A small issue but one near my heart. New Mexico Senator @lujan.senate.gov recently questioned a DOI Assistant Secretary nominee about the Navajo Gallup water project. Now $0 budget. Saw video on X. Yet the Navajo Nation is letting Trump Admin do new coal mining on the Res. Did they get screwed?
