Trump keeps using Mafia-like threats to get firms "not to publicly attribute price hikes to tariffs." When Mattel's CEO talked of this, he responded: “We’ll put a 100% tariff on his toys, and he won’t sell one toy in the United States... I wouldn’t want to have him as an executive too long.”

There is absolutely a non-zero chance that Trump responds to Elon betraying him by cancelling all of Elon’s contracts (starlink, spaceX, etc) and this is the only time I have ever rooted for Trump to Be Trump.

The FBI is now going after trans people and their healthcare. Today it's gender affirming care, tomorrow abortion. This is the authoritarian playbook on display.

Interesting analysis from the @CFR_org "The World This Week" newsletter. Trade court's decision (temporarily) overruling Trump's tariffs excited bond market worries about deficits, and dollar weakness suggests continued shunning of US assets generally.
