I’m a big man who rides the subway every night because I’m not a terrified hysterical neurotic
Sean Duffy: "The truth is, transit across America is dangerous. And these liberals -- liberal mayors -- they want everybody out of cars and into trains but they made the trains unsafe so nobody really wants to ride them ... even big men don't want to ride the subway at those times of night."

Bates: He inherited an economy that was the best-performing in the world. But in just two months, he’s crashing that economy with the biggest tax increase on middle-class families in 50 years—raising the prices he promised he would lower, and breaking his number one promise to them.

He also loves them because he can do them unilaterally. It gives him a feeling of power to be able to cause destruction and chaos with the stroke of a pen.
Trump loves tariffs because he feels like it’s a way to shake people down. Even better, shake FOREIGNERS down.
He thinks protectionism is more akin to a protection racket.
He clearly gets an almost sexual thrill from announcing them, and the more, and the higher, the better.

Newsom: He took water that was set aside for this summer from one part of Central Valley and dumped it into another part—without telling them.. They had to turn off the pump because it was starting to impact the levees. None of it went to Southern California.
