NYFed: By February 2026, Trump's tariffs had contributed 2.9 percentage points to consumer goods price inflation; without tariffs, goods prices would have fallen slightly. The tariffs raised the cost of imported goods AND their domestically-produced competitors.

These companies were going to build most of these data centers regardless of the tax incentives, so we should question the fiscal rationale of these incentives. It also sounds ripe for corruption, considering these companies routinely donate millions to the President’s campaigns.

If we're going to denaturalize and deport people for sex trafficking they hid on their citizenship applications, is there a reason this would not apply to Ghislaine Maxwell?
CHILD SEX ABUSER’S CITIZENSHIP REVOKED AFTER NATURALIZATION FRAUD CONVICTION
 
Cyril Domaquik Clemens, a Liberian native, was convicted of three counts of indecent liberties with a child after confessing to sexually molesting a young child.
 
The abuse began before he naturalized, but he concealed it during the citizenship process, fraudulently obtaining U.S. citizenship.
