When will Trump get it into his thick head, that every time he threatens new tariffs (EU 50% today) the US stock market goes down? Why can EVERYONE else see it, plain as day?

I have trans friends who used to be biological women, who now (post op) have beards and muscles. Are they obliged to use women's bathrooms and will they be welcomed in women only spaces? Or would it cause some distress? And do they now have an absolute right to compete in women's sports?

This seems to be hurting the US more than its "trading partners".

Tariffs are going well so far. I dread to think what it is doing to pensions in the USA.

"Liberation" Day. Trump is just making up fictional figures,so much so that he contradicts himself in the same sentence. "US has been victimised with 300% (etc) tariffs from other countries and now US is going to reciprocate." He can't stop himself from lying.This is going to cripple the US economy.

Trump's tariffs seem to be creating probably the greatest biggest economic boom in all of world history :-). It's been one success after another since the inauguration.

Next time a news outlet reports that Trump is the "most popular president in US history" etc etc:

I'm thinking of unilaterally renaming the River Thames in the UK to become The Mississippi. I wonder if Google will amend their maps?

WTF Google Maps!! There's no need for this.
