Might wanna buy any big-ticket items now, before prices jump.
Breaking news: President-elect Donald Trump said he will issue executive orders imposing tariffs of 25 percent on Mexican and Canadian goods and 10 percent on Chinese merchandise as one of his first acts on Inauguration Day.
Trump promises specific tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico
If enacted, they would violate the 2020 deal that the United States inked with Canada and Mexico during Donald Trump’s first term.

Not exactly a glowing recommendation for tariffs.
".. During a radio interview Saturday .., Bessent said 'tariffs can’t be inflationary because if the price of one thing goes up -- unless you give people more money -- then they have less money to spend on the other thing, so there is no inflation.'"

Another example of why we need more mental health professionals to discuss Trump on media. Dr. Frank is a graduate of Harvard Medical School and a renowned psychotherapist, but any shrink could tell you this. And yet the media still discusses Trump in terms of what is normal.

It’s objectively funny that the main narrative of Trump and Musk is that they’ve been treated unfairly and need revenge.

New poll out today shows a majority of Americans believe we’re in a recession.
What’s the best way to operate in an information environment that’s so fundamentally broken?
If Trump were president with these economic numbers, most Americans would recognize the economy is booming.

In 1947, the Attorney General was empowered to make an official list of "subversive organizations" with the intent of firing any federal workers who belonged or were "sympathetic" to them.
This is actually much worse, as it seeks to punish the organizations as well.

Has anyone else noticed that many Trump supporters react to facts with anger?
I believe it’s because those facts pierce their cognitive dissonance about him. They don’t like facts that challenge the notion of him he has crafted and they have accepted.
Bizarre to witness.

Imagine if Obama had announced he intended to fill all positions without Senate confirmation. Fox News would be in wall-to-wall coverage of it and the rest of the political media would follow suit.
