If you’re looking to self-start a recession, increase inflation and increase unemployment then stifling trade with your #2 trading partner will help.

And unsurprisingly nearly all of his gains are all fraudulent. He had an initial coin offering of a digital currency with zero intrinsic value. Pure fraud. If we only had a Securities and Exchange Commission … or a Congress … or 25th Amendment.

Stopped by the No Kings Rally while on a college visit at the University of Illinois. Over 4,000 people according to organizers … just hours before their Illini’s Elite Eight game. So impressed. Champaign Illinois #NoKings

I actually looked for her in this picture. Great timing on the posts in my feed. Sadly we wouldn’t be surprised if Noem dressed like this.

This Democrat copy and paste messaging strategy is failing. Badly. How in the heck is your party’s approval rating sooo awful when the other party is running their fascism authoritarian playbook?

And they’re doing a phenomenal job at it. These poll numbers seem bad. Perhaps it’s time for them to wake up. Their “cut and paste” posts aren’t working.

Yes, Treasury yields are up. Yes, we’d expect a flight to safety during equity mkt turbulence. No, the world hasn’t abandoned our debt just yet. But the consequences are potentially catastrophic for one foolish person to risk our T-bill’s decades-long status as the planet’s “risk-free” asset.

Hello Central Florida GOP - delete these tourism impact charts and stories before one of your neighbors in the Mar-a-Lago nursing home sees them. He’s trying to crater your state’s entire economy.

Get to the know the “Multiplier Effect”. The impact of fewer foreign visitors spending money in the US this spring, summer and fall will reverberate through the economy. Tourism accounts for $2.5 TRILLION in U.S. GDP. If you know anyone in Florida, tourism is 10% of their entire economy.

Car manufacturing jobs in the US aren’t coming back in any scenario. (*** unless you happen to be a robot). This isn’t Hank Ford building Model Ts in 1909. This is what car manufacturing looks like today.

How does endangering public health while also lowering real GDP and increasing unemployment make Americans better off? Americans fund NIH. We get: 7 million jobs funded. $69b more real GDP annually. 43% ROI. new drugs. better health. Seriously. Why pause this funding for even one day?

Science averted 2,200,000 potential paralytic polio cases in 30 years. How does eradicating vaccines instead of eradicating diseases “make America great again”?
