There are two possibilities: Trump is either lying now about the number of good-for-the-US trade deals that will be concluded imminently or he was lying about the objectives of imposing the tariffs in the first place. As a former trade official, my professional opinion is he's lying about both.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

Replacing Powell with a Fed chair, more willing to reduce rates, needs analysis. Reducing rates when the slow-down is tariff induced will not do what Trump wants. Borrowing is not a great solution for a tariff induced show-down, as the tariffs themselves are the problem.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suggested allowing bird flu to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Veterinary scientists said that would be inhumane, dangerous and have enormous economic consequences.

RFK Jr.’s Prescription for Bird Flu on Farms: Let It Spread
The health secretary has suggested allowing the virus to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Such an experiment would be disastrous, scientists say.

Jawdropping. You would expect this in a dictatorship, not the United States. This country is unrecognizable.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

Keeping the space station manned is not worth selling our security out to Elon musk. Cutoff space X from federal contracts unless they can Musk. This is a clear and present danger

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

Home insurance in areas hit by repetitive disasters is going to be the number one housing affordability issue over the next 4 years. And possibly going into the midterms. More so than interest rates. Florida in particular is going to have huge problems.

This should terrify every American. It doesn’t matter where you stand on immigration. Using our military as a domestic law enforcement tool at mass scale will destroy its core purpose, turn the American people against them, and damage the institution for decades.

Anyone you see on your timeline right now praising RFK Jr. is a person you never need to take seriously on anything ever again. It is difficult to overstate just how extreme, conspiratorial, and insane RFK’s views are, on vaccines, microchips & beyond. He’s Alex Jones in a suit.

Given Trump's early cabinet picks, this is going to be a really rough 4 years. Buckle up and resist.
