A lot of gratitude from me. I launched Platypus Economics 3 months ago with a goal to make economic literacy accessible to everyone. Crossing 100k subscribers YouTube is a big step in that journey. Thank you helping us get off to this incredible flying start!

New in PN: Roberts knives democracy again "So states have to wait for Trump to wreck the constitutional order, 10 weeks before midterms, before they can challenge Trump wrecking the constitutional order, 10 weeks before midterms. But it’s also such an emergency the Court had to step in. Got it."

President Trump has spent the morning on Truth Social trashing Canada and praising totalitarian dictator Kim Jong Un. Congrats, America!

The U.S. just put sweeping economics sanctions on Iran. After 60+ years of trying this with Cuba, the record should make us skeptical.⁣ ⁣ In today’s Substack, I look at what might happen next: newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/…

Trump imposed tariffs. Canada retaliated. Trump retaliated to the retaliation. Canada just retaliated to the retaliation on the retaliation. Also there's an existing free trade agreement binding both of these countries. It all feels so dumb.

Trump's tariffs—the ones he added because the last ones were ruled unconstitutional—were just ruled unconstitutional My crack team has discovered why. This law allows him to impose temporary tariffs to "deal with large and serious US balance-of-payments deficits." Here it is:

Trump isn’t beating the antichrist allegations with these attacks on the pope
Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about “fear” of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn’t! I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country. And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History. Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican. Unfortunately, Leo’s Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested. Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It’s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it’s hurting the Catholic Church! President DONALD J. TRUMP

1. This is what America looks like with a President who is both a sociopath AND losing his mind. 2. It’s a good time to remind every member of the U.S. military they swore an oath to the Constitution, not an individual, and they have a duty/they are legally obligated to disobey illegal orders.

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

Tell Shannon Bream of FoxNews that it’s not the Save Act, it’s the Save America Act, a big difference! Also, when she insists on having lightweight Democrat Congressmen, such as Jake Auchincloss, on her not very hard hitting show, she should correct them when they spew out Democrat propaganda and lies. She never does! I always close deals, unlike the Dems, and did great with China in every way, also, unlike the Dems! For Fox executives only, take Jessica Tarlov off the air. She is, from her voice, to her lies, and everything else about her, one of the worst “personalities” on television, a real loser! People cannot stand watching her. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT
