I cannot help but think it unfortunate that Trump wants to have a trade war with China. I think cooperation is always better than competition. In fact, those who can cooperate best have the most chances of survival in our ongoing struggle for survival on our fragile planet. Why fight unnecessarily?

The tariffs imposed by the "stable genius" in the White House are nothing more than a consumption tax! This consumption tax will discourage consumption, thus resulting in decreased production. In other words, a RECESSION! How long it lasts depends on how quickly Trump can be persuaded of his error.

Trump and Vance are telling Americans that their economy is "healing."!? This is ludicrous! In the new Trump double speak "healing" is another name for circling the toilet. It was established in the 1930s that tariffs do not work. They just result in countervailing tariffs which equals higher prices

I just cannot explain what a bad idea Trump's tariffs are! All he has done is make exports and imports more expensive. He will erode America's trading position, force other countries not to buy America's goods and set off a round of inflation at home because everything will become more expensive!

Trump is not 1/5 as smart as he thinks he is. He thinks he's going to make America even greater, but what he's doing in reality is driving the global economy into a ditch. The man is an incompetent! He hires "Yes Men" for advisors. I can think of no economist that would have recommended this action.

Trump's tariffs are truly incomprehensible! He wants to bring back production to the United States to employ his base? Well pick an industry. Then develop the necessary infrastructure for that industry. But to put tariffs on all industries is just going to set off a massive round of inflation!!

So Donald Trump has got his country in a trade war with his country's best friends! Way to go Donald! That's what one does with a decades. Old friendship: pick a fight. And now in his trade war, Canada and Europe are fighting back and imposing tariffs of their own. What is behind this wasteful....

Hey Americans! Are you enjoying the Golden Age of America and the extreme wealth that comes with it? When will it become clear to you that you have elected for your president an incompetent who doesn't know what he's doing?

Climate change is the defining crisis of this century! Trump denies its very existence. There are no expletives too gross to apply to this man.

Trump's only economic idea seems to be tariffs.

For centuries, America has stood against the aggressor, against the idea that large Nations can attack smaller Nations - until Donald Trump who isn't loyal to anything except himself and money.

When Trump said that Ukraine started the war, he is right in the same sense that when a woman flees her abuser, she starts the violence she suffers at his hands.

Only the great mind of the stable genius Trump can discern that Ukraine started the war with Russia. Who knew? Everyone thought that Russia started the war with its unprovoked invasion of a peaceful country. You think that because you don't have the great mind of a stable genius. Okay, understand???

I cringe every time I see Trump. I cannot stand the man. His rechristening, the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America is farcical. The man is a buffoon and a poltroon. His taking a broad ax to entire government department s before he even learns their complete functions is idiotic.

We also need electric vehicle chargers to be as common as gas stations!! If governments want to make some useful infrastructure, put in EV charging stations everywhere. That would allay range anxiety and hasten the adoption of electric vehicles which has benefits and a myriad ways.

The planet will continue to heat up and move into danger zones until we STOP BURNING FOSSIL FUELS. The best way for the consumer to stop burning fossil fuels is to buy an EV. Their lifetime cost is cheaper than an internal combustion vehicle. Also avoid flying. Do everything you can to STOP BURNING!

....EVs don't need gearbox oil replaced, they don't have as many moving parts as ICE vehicles do. THE LIFETIME COSTS OF AN EV WHAT ARE LOWER THAN THE LIFETIME COSTS OF AN ICE VEHICLE. Look at the lifetime cost of the vehicle, not just the sticker price! Plus they're much easier on the environment!!

People when considering the purchase of a new vehicle please don't just look at the sticker. Price: LOOK AT THE TOTAL LIFETIME COST!!!!! EV's don't need mufflers replaced, they don't need oil changes, due to regenerative braking they don't need brakes replaced, they don't need transmission fluid....

So now "Big Brains" Donald Trump is having all the January 6th investigators in the FBI removed from office! Talk about rewriting history! His efforts to whip up the crowd to go to the Legislative Branch and "fight like hell" are well known and now he is punishing FBI agents for enforcing the law!!!

I am reading Capital in the 21st Century by Thomas Piketty. The top 10% of American earners (I won't say "earn" but rather) gain 50% of the national income! How is this fair? WHY ARE TAXES BEING CUT FOR THESE PEOPLE? THIS IS INSANE! Taxes should be raised for these people not lowered. This is nuts!

So stable genius Trump slapped 25% tariff on Canadian goods going into the US on the ground that he is trying to stop the flow of fentanyl from Canada into the US. THAT IS NOT THE DIRECTION OF FLOW. DRUGS ARE SMUGGLED INTO CANADA FROM THE US! Why is Canada being blamed? It's complete nonsense!

I think it's a shame that Trump didn't rename the Gulf of Mexico or the Gulf of Trump. After all, he is such a great man and he is an incredible stable genius. Such towering figures is him come along only once in a millennia! He can end the Russia - Ukraine war in a day. The things that man can do!!
