Trump claims his tariff pause is the result of concessions from Canada and Mexico on border enforcement. But many of these so-called "concessions" are policies both countries were already doing (or planning to do) before he took office. Some dealmaker, huh?

Trump's first two weeks back in office has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random. It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out. Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win. Don't tune out. Don't let them win.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.
