Watch the #MAGA Media Machine - AKA "X" and "Truth Social" execute an avalanche of obvious lies to their base. MAGAs don't listen to much else, so unless you wade into the cesspool that X has become, they won't hear you. They don't want to hear from you.

Big #TACO reverses himself. Exempting Farming, Hotels, and other sectors in his base. Deportations enraged his supporters. There's no one left to deport except in the cities. This is a set up. Attack the cities, were there are far fewer #MAGA folks, then claim that their all gang-bangers etc....

This seems simple enough, but as we all know #Trump breaks the law often (convicted multiple times and overruled too many to count.) But attempts to claim his #MAGA folks are only concerned citizens. Right out of an Orwell novel.

The problem is that #Trump is FAR TOO ERATIC to be trusted. The same is true of #Musk. No senior executive with any brains would believe they could get a factory built, re-shore a critical operation at a much higher labor cost, and then find out the Idiot In-Chief has changed his mind. Fail!!

Ya think!! Geeeeesh!!! Tariffs are a tax on those who buy things, normal people. They will have a lot less buying power, causing slower growth. Taxes on imports drive retail prices higher, leading to inflation. #Trump is explicitly screwing the #MiddleClass again. It's #Criminal

"One of the notable things about the ongoing rout in financial markets is the fact that dollar is also tumbling. That isn’t how it typically works."
New York Times: One of the notable things about the ongoing rout in financial markets is the fact that dollar is also tumbling. That isn’t how it typically works. In bouts of volatility, the dollar tends to do well, serving as a haven for investors. The move also undercuts one of the main arguments that Trump’s economic advisors have long promoted as to why tariffs would not be inflationary. They argued that tariffs would raise the value of the dollar, helping to offset the impact of rising prices. Some strategists say the drop reflects intensifying fears of a U.S. recession because of tariffs. Others say it could reflect something even more pernicious: Investors are starting to question U.S. economic exceptionalism.

This is a low estimate. Obviously, it depends on how long the tariffs are in place. This will gut the economy of the US, with the average taxpayer taking the hit. #Billionaires won't feel a thing. #Trump for the win - what in #Idiot.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
