Trump's tariffs are opportunities for Republicans to solicit bribes. He'll make exemptions on enforcing the tariffs, and those exemptions will be based on whether MAGA likes or doesn't like certain people. And MAGA likes people who give them money.

True. I also wonder whether he’ll profit from the tariffs through stock market trading, and maybe even directly, by stealing money from the Treasury. I wonder if he’ll be able to resist such theft.
I hope we can watch closely for these possibilities.
Part of the ingeniousness of that for Trump is that the billionaires go along with that because they have a built-in advantage in paying bribes simply because they have more capital to pay them. And it requires no improvement in their business.
Everything in the Trump regime is about creating leverage and exploiting it to gain money and power. The Republican Party is not a political movement – it's an organized crime syndicate.
Trump is well on his way to becoming the richest man in the world next to Putin. He just needs to incarcerate Musk & steal all his money! I’m sure Musk blindly trusted Trump & has committed some crimes in his presence.

You mean the federal government is picking winners and losers?
Can't be true. Republicans are against that kind of thing!
I hope we can watch closely for these possibilities.

You can’t solicit bribes if no one trusts you to come through
