The presidency is archaic and should be abolished or reduced to a figurehead. I'd vote to abolish the executive branch. Sounds radical, but the consolidation of powers in one person is and will forever be a risk to freedom and democracy.
Simply messed up. If we ever get out of this mess, this country will need to set new rules and governance structures that stops one person from destroying everything.
Agreed, but also it’s a lot more than one person. He tanked a casino - he’s not smart enough to have done this on his own. We need a stronger liberal party that people are happy to vote for, instead of reluctantly voting against the other side. I’m encouraged by some of our junior congress people.
We gonna go ahead and just cut everyone’s 401(k) in half and then the Republicans will speak up? Does anyone realize that maybe tariffs should not be a thing that one dude should be able to do? Can we go ahead and take that power away friends?
There should be plenty of local US production of Insulin hopefully, though?
But a lot of other medications will surly be affected, I learned that medicinal and pharmaceutical products are BY FAR the most exported product category from Europe to the US.
I hadn't a clue of the scaie of pharmaceuticals the US imports until today. In a country with an already, almost punitive approach to healthcare you'd think someone in the US administration would give Trump's head a wobble.
The way read it, granted quickly, was they were excluded from reciprocal tarrifs. There's still the 10% blanket tarrif that applies to imports from all countries. But if they are excluded from the 10% too then someone has seen sense
He's doing in with National Emergency powers. Normally, Congress could cancel that emergency if they are being abused. But, the CR that Schumer enabled, removed Congress' ability to stop the emergency. So, he's unfettered now.
I’m scared out of my mind. We’re greatly reducing our spendings. My husband and I are prepared for the inevitability of one or both of us losing our jobs when the market takes a dump.

Only Congress can do this. And yet.

And he'll still try to blame Biden & Dems for it 🤣
