I conclude that attendees at the WHCD think their careers will magically go on, while consumers of the news give it less and less credence and the reporters and writers and press organs less and less trust, because they twinkle and laugh with the criminal subject of their investigations. Nope.

As Trump returns to tariffs, it's worth checking out what we've gotten from the trade war so far.
Line chart titled "The United States currently has the highest inflation in the G7" showing year-ended consumer price inflation rates across G7 countries. The United States leads at 3.5%, followed by Italy at 3.0%, Canada at 2.8%, Great Britain at 2.6%, Germany at 2.4%, France at 2.0%, and Japan at 1.5%. The US inflation rate is more than double Japan's and stands as the only G7 country exceeding 3.0%.

Not a single word about how these tariffs violate both our WTO & USCMA obligations. Every time Trump does this, the NYT & other outlets simply write as if we live in an international vacuum, where the US has no obligations under signed, ratified international treaties. It's journalistic malpractice.
