Average, everyday Americans need the tariffs to stop. It’s a tax on the consumer and we all know it. It’s that simple.

It's almost as if a gibbering degenerate President with zero understanding of markets or respect for the rule of law who is engaged in moronic tariff wars and a wholesale betrayal of our alliances is bad for the market. Strange how that happens.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

Americans tend to equate someone having money with someone having ability. Perhaps, watching idiots like Donald Trump and Elon Musk ruin everything will dispel that superficial assumption. People get money for all kinds of reasons, some legal, that have nothing to do with ability. #RichFathers
