"...we’re turning into a nation where policies are ill-considered and constantly changing, and business success depends not on what you know but on who you know and whether you pay them off." This is what I mean when I say Trump's plan is working exactly as planned.

I’m leading a letter with Rep. Terri Sewell and 131 colleagues demanding answers from the White House, USTR, Treasury, Commerce, and the SEC. Who knew about Trump’s tariff reversal? When did they know? How did they know? $300B didn’t move by accident. This is market manipulation.

What an embarrassment this administration is. The Republikkklans don't seem to realize that supporting his craziness has lost them the midterms, presidential, and most governorships already (and probably for many cycles to come). They are blind and criminally stupid. They will pay dearly.

We do remember what happened to Lehman Brothers, right? China holds approximately $774.6 billion in U.S. Treasury securities. If China were to ‘call-in’ a large portion of its holdings of U.S. debt, it would likely lead to a decline in the value of the dollar. This man = not smart #TrumpTariffs
