With Trump voters' it's not about that. He represents for too many Americans, the bad in us. Many Americans love Trump for what he gives them, a chance to see other Americans' suffer, even at their own peril. It's called Fatal Populism. This is why we are where we are.
…the businesses that work out of those countries. So that these countries and businesses will come crawling to Trump to ask him to make a deal to give them a break on the tariffs. And Trump will use this as a transaction in order to line his personal Pockets with money. Trump is "bat-shit" crazy!!!
The best thing that I just heard that might explain why Trump is so excited and stubborn about these tariffs. Trump is such a criminal and a grifter that he sees everything as transactional in order to benefit only Trump. So he is using these tariffs to put a “ mafia" Strong arm on the countries and
Great show Lawrence. Tariffs are taxes. Tariffs are taxes. Tariffs are taxes. I'll try to remember that. I've watched your show for many years and I think I remember hearing you say that before. Like a million times. Now we will learn the hard way.
Trump knows tariffs are a tax on the country (corporations and ppl) and with DOGE, all that money now is under govt control.. its a national piggybank that he controls! thats why. he is ripping off the country.. can I suggest there will be massive corruption when spent?
If you don't already know @nealkatyal.bsky.social just bent the knee to kiss the orange tumor's ring. Please don't invite him back to your show. Ever. His capitulation reveals he can never be trusted to be truthful or uphold democracy ever again. He sold his soul for $
Lawrence, you certainly were missed. I love your segment! Keep up the fantastic work! You can really put complex stories in Layman’s terms! Thank you for that!
Mr. O' Donnell,
Could you, or someone, investigate the possibility that the convicted felon will enact the Insurrection Act on April 20th? The possibility comes from an EO that the convicted felon signed on January 20th. Any reporting on this would be helpful. Thank you and your show is awesome 🙂
Don’t you think the tariffs have more to do with him becoming the Hungarian wanna-be twin, Orban?
-Create a crisis,
-People march in peaceful protest or rowdy protest,
-someone gets hurt or shot,
-He declares Marshall law.
Have you said 'I told you so' to EVERYONE?
You tried, more than anyone else, to explain tariffs to the Wapo, NYT, wsj (c'mon) Ezra F'ing Klein, even the Harris campaign.
And nobody listened.
So I guess it's your fault, since truth is false. You know.
Tariff on imports from Lesotho is 50%. Some numbers:
▪︎ GDP is $2.4B. If it was a company, its earnings would put it at #3033.
▪︎ Per capita adult annual income is $5,607
▪︎ Exports to US $242M. Imports from US $2.8M.
▪︎ US trade deficit with Lesotho is $239M.
▪︎ US trade deficit with the world is $918B.

I’m concerned already.

Tariffs on exports from penguins is amusing. Tariffs on exports from small, impoverished countries is cruel.
But, then again, cruelty is the point.
