STUPID! If you want to know why cars cost more, look at tariffs, commodity spikes, electronics, and supply chain changes — not long-established fuel economy rules. Weakening CAFE standards could backfire and lead to HIGHER gas prices if vehicles become less efficient.

If you’re rich enough, all “affordability” concerns are a “scam”.
Sarah Matthews: "Americans are concerned about the rising costs of everything…Trump can't wrap his head around that because this is a man who is a billionaire. He's never had to imagine a world in which he can't afford something."

You might claim otherwise, but I maintain it conveys to the world that America is especially serious about diplomacy when the former “Masculine Toilet” guy is now Ambassador to NATO
NATO Ambassador Matt Whitaker on undocumented immigration: "It is unsustainable and destabilized not only our country but I think the world as a whole. So we are cleaning up this mess and our allies need to clean up the mess as well. It is unsustainable and leads to massive security challenges."

They are beating people who maybe once had a broken taillight and sending them to foreign slave prisons while freeing the worst fraudsters and every corrupt pol. The juxtaposition is so stark and appalling.
NEW: The commutation Trump issued to David Gentile wipes away all further fines & restitution.
Gentile had been sentenced to 7 years for his role in a $1.6B scheme that defrauded thousands of investors.
Prosecutors had been seeking $15.5M in forfeiture.
