Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Fantastic news from my home state.
Susan Crawford is the projected winner of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. A great victory for Democrats and a huge loss for Elon Musk (and his $20 million) and Donald Trump.
