I may not have read the books, but i have magically reviewed both Tapper and Comey’s new tell-alls- They are both hugely self-involved pricks who didn’t do the right things when it mattered, but now think we should be grateful that they were there at the time. Saved you a read.

The Constitution disagrees. The Emoluments Clause, part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bans office holders from taking ANY gifts from foreign countries. There is no mention of quid pro quo. That is because the Founding Fathers knew that even the appearance of corruption promotes corruption.

JPMORGAN: “.. The trade war shock is still material. .. we now estimate an effective ex-ante tariff rate of 14.4%. This is akin to a $475bn tax hike on US households and businesses, worth 1.6% of GDP (still sitting close to the largest tax hike in the post WWII period).”

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but 30% is still a high tariff…and it’s still going to drive prices up. But sure, businesses can “plan” for 90 days until the next erratic change. Awesome.
