NEW: Report from the nonpartisan Yale Budget Lab finds that, despite trade ‘deals’ with China and the UK, Trump’s tariffs will still cost American families $2,800 more this year.

It’s the highest tariff tax in nearly 100 years.

"If the goal is to redistribute the cost of government from the richest to the poorest, while enormously augmenting the president’s personal power to the detriment of Congress, then the Trump [tariff and tax] plans make a lot more sense."

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

That is what it is. MAGA is not conservatism. It is a movement based on resentment and cruelty. It is about malignant narcissists (all of them deeply insecure) who only crave dominance and power. At this moment Trump and Elon are actively hurting people who voted for them. Tells you everything
