Oh my goodness, this Wall Street Journal piece about Trump's ailing health that includes an interview with him (gift link). There are a number of ridiculous details in it and I'll put a few of them in this thread. (1/6)
Exclusive | As Signs of Aging Emerge, Trump Responds With Defiance
In an interview, President Trump—the oldest man to assume the office—said he has eschewed some advice from his doctors and regrets getting advanced imaging.

It’s time to move on from the heartbreaks and desolation of Americas 20th century!
Trump: "From 1789 to 1913, we were a tariff-backed nation and the US was proportionately the wealthiest it has ever been ... then in 1913, for reason unknown to mankind, they established the income tax."

If Bessent had any balls, he would have responded, “Kaitlan, you’re right. It’s insane. Fuck it—I quit. I’m outta here.”
COLLINS: China has this 34% tariff. There were already 20% tariffs on China. So is that 34% on top of that, meaning it's a 54% tariff on China?

BESSENT: I believe it is

Or because they don’t want the hormones & antibiotics in our chicken & beef. For heaven’s sake we didn’t require labeling on genetically modified food until 2022.

Lutnick has really turned out to be consistently ridiculous in his rhetoric.

New in PN: Musk is the autopen

"Trump is trying to undo Biden’s presidency by claiming he was too incompetent to exercise power while some shadowy figure was running things instead. The juxtaposition is jarring as we are daily confronted w/a POTUS who's vigorously, confidently *not doing his job*"
Elon Musk is the autopen
And Trump is incompetent.

The tariffs themselves will almost surely tank the stock market tomorrow, but finance people seeing exactly how outlandishly dumb these fools are will likely do even greater damage moving forward. There can be no confidence. It’s like a pack of hyenas on PCP running the economy.
COLLINS: All foreign-made car imports are getting a 25% tariff starting at midnight. That's hard to turn around overnight. So what would you say to people in the auto industry who are worried about that timeline?

BESSENT: Buy American
