Pres. Obama: "I don't think what we just witnessed in terms … tariffs is going to be good for America, but that's a specific policy. I'm more deeply concerned with a federal government that threatens universities if they don't give up students who are exercising their right to free speech."

Really hoping someone does an easy graphic to explain this transfer of wealth from consumers to the super wealthy:

Trillions in tax breaks for billionaires
