I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.
I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.
But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Donald Trump and Elon Musk believe their power is unchecked and unaccountable to Congress and the courts. The scary thing is at this point I’m not sure they’re wrong.

Draw your own conclusions, but Donald Trump is not behaving like a leader who expects democratic accountability for himself or his party next year or in 2028.

MURPHY: What do you think of Elon Musk doing two Heil Hitler salutes at the president's rally?
STEFANIK: No. Elon Musk did not do those salutes. I've been at many rallies with Elon Musk who loves to cheer when President Trump says we need to send our US space program to Mars.
