A quick vocab lesson for the president: if you buy something from me, then we have a "trade deficit". It doesn't mean you got ripped off. It doesn't mean it's unfair. All it means is you ended up with more stuff and I ended up with more cash. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwJqtzkwYQE

Trump officially rolled back fuel efficiency standards today. The new target for 2031 is about 34.5 miles per gallon, down from 50.4. That means more gas burned, more pollution, and more money out of drivers’ pockets. So much for making things affordable.
