(The Telegraph) - Donald Trump is systematically purging every US government institution, a pattern familiar to anybody who has studied the caudillo regimes of Latin America, or the playbook of today’s Putin-Orbán-Erdoğan prototypes.

Don’t expect it on Fox but any other interviewer that doesn’t ask every single GOP member of congress why they are not taking the power to raise tariffs away from Trump is simply not doing their job.
Ron Johnson: "What's also indisputable is the markets are down about 8% in just two days, and I'm getting all kids of reactions from businesses, farmers in Wisconsin that are highly concerned about what's happening. Those are the facts ... it's a bold, risky move."

“Transitioning” from 50 straight months of job growth, a 400% rise in manufacturing construction and the best back-to-back years for the stock market in a quarter century. 🤡
Mike Johnson: "We're transitioning from Bidenomics and the terrible economy that was delivered by the last administration. It takes a while to turn that ship around."

Ahahahahahahaha!!! What a joke the US press has become.
Important to note, though: None of this will stop professional news outlets from covering this president in the same full, fair, tough and unflinching way that we always have. Government efforts to punish disfavored organizations will not stop independent journalism.
Every president of both parties going back generations subscribed to the principle that a president doesn't pick the press corps that is allowed in the room to ask him questions. Trump has just declared that he will.

The shellacking of Rs in the mid-terms will be epic if they allow Trump to waive tariffs on luxury goods while causing inflation to fly due to tariffs increasing cost of food and household goods.
