Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Paying an extortionist -- where do you think it ends? Do you think he honors his side of the supposed "deal"? Really? Meanwhile, as Big Law ill-advisedly pays the protection racket, there's a huge need for lawyers to help regular people Trump is illegally targeting: www.cm-life.com/article/2025...

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs. That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result. #econsky

why is every newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been. What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Trump did a meme coin scam not even three months ago so I’m not sure why anyone would doubt this was a dumb idea that morphed into stock market manipulation.

Trump surrendered again on tariffs after the bond market went nuts, which he and his advisers were too stupid to foresee, then he was unable to get House Republicans to agree on a budget deal even after it was brought to the floor for a vote, all while claiming victory the entire time.

They are are eating the checks; they are eating the balances. The economy is a wreck, but they are pretending we are in a palace. At the stroke of midnight the tarriffs will invoke more madness & the only question will be who will keep their lips tight & who will fight For the people that is!

There is a strong legal case that Trump tariffs are illegal (because he has not authority to issue them.) No major corporation or trade association, however, has filed suit because they are all afraid of making Trump mad. The only company that has sued is a small stationary store in Florida.
