How dumb was the methodology of Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs? Well, Switzerland now faces a 31% rate simply because of a late-2024 surge in US gold imports. If the new US tariff regime had been calculated using 2023 data then Swiss imports would only face an 18.7% levy. www.ft.com/content/9072...
Swiss cheesemakers should hope there’s no ‘Liberation Day 2’

Look, obviously my emotional reaction to that press conference is to punch a wall so hard either it or my knuckles break.
But let put that on hold for a moment and ask, very dispassionately and calmly:
What American national interest objective or foreign policy goal was served by that shit-show?

Coinbase was being investigated by the SEC so they:
- gave $75M a to pro-Trump PAC
- gave $1M to Trump’s inauguration
- sponsored an inaugural party
- hired Trump’s campaign manager
- listed Trump’s meme coin
And now the investigation is closed.
These are called bribes.
