"Tariffs will cause temporary pain to create the new economy" is the new "Inflation is transitory."
12.03.2025 22:25 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0So Trump imposes blanket tariffs, and only when a CEO pays him $5 million will he offer a carveout. Anyone who thinks heβs βdraining the swampβ is either complicit or a fool.

08.03.2025 20:39 β π 449 π 114 π¬ 228 π 134CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.Β
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
New from Trump: βshut up about egg prices!β

Not peace through strength, nor peace, nor strength.
Just more weakness.
He is already wavering on his tariffs he instituted yesterday. This guy has absolutely no spine and no plan. He's a bull in a china shop and for some reason his supporters love that about him.

04.03.2025 13:14 β π 909 π 123 π¬ 45 π 4Republicans are readying an aggressive move that would let Congress extend expiring tax cuts and record no costs.
02.03.2025 18:30 β π 52 π 31 π¬ 23 π 4Breaking News: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the Pentagon to halt offensive cyberoperations against Russia, officials said.
02.03.2025 20:07 β π 2107 π 1034 π¬ 527 π 336What an amazing coincidence that all of Trumpβs toadies tweeted out praise that used the exact same language.

Let that sink in.
HHS is reversing a decades-old policy of soliciting public comment before it issues regulations affecting government benefits and grants, including NIH funding.
28.02.2025 19:24 β π 162 π 86 π¬ 31 π 14The Trump administration has its government-shrinking sights set on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, where around 800 employees have been tapped for termination, according to two sources close to the agency.
28.02.2025 01:43 β π 326 π 155 π¬ 77 π 46The Trump administration terminates funding for polio, HIV, malaria and nutrition programs around the world.

27.02.2025 23:00 β π 31 π 8 π¬ 47 π 8Narcissistic or delusional amnesia is a very real thing, I've seen narcissists in my life make that same exact look when their own bad behavior is brought up to them.

Trump: Umm did I say that? I canβt believe I said that. Next question
said this before and i wasn't exaggerating: RFK has the exact personality type of the kind of person that, in a different sort of regime, oversees mass starvation.
27.02.2025 02:54 β π 15929 π 3202 π¬ 427 π 172Donald Trump's America is about getting what you wantβ¦ if youβve got billions to spend:
Citizenship, for a few million.
A tax cut for your corporation, if you've given a few million.
Even U.S. military protection, if youβll give up mineral rights worth a few billion.
Anything for a buck.
Havn't we seen this story before with all the state national guardsmen during the Biden administration?

How do you think his peers and people that report to him will respond ?
And if Iβm asking this wrong, please correct me, but if he makes a ridiculous decision to bring charges, which court is it appealed to if he wins the case ?
All insights welcome
