A 10% universal tariff on $3.25 trillion of annual US merchandise imports would potentially raise ~$300 billion. Last year, US personal income tax brought in nearly 30x that.

We're at 4, 5 anti-trans EOs now. And if you add up all the people subject to them you couldn't even fill a single stadium. Fakest "problem" to ever become a national crisis. For several of these EOs, you couldn't even fill a small bus with the number of folks it applies to.

Trump has just stopped up the arteries of American science. Maybe he opens them back up but immense damage is going to be done every day this goes on. Ironically, the "woke" humanities and arts will be least affected, because they don't get much fed funding anyway.
