Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

Interesting graph re: long-term car prices. For ~25 yrs (1995-2020) prices were rather stable, despite increasing features. Covid spiked prices. Prices had just started coming down but now the threat of tariffs is bringing them back up again. Will only worsen fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CUSR0...

If I dangle you over the edge of a building and then pull you back up, I didn’t save your life. I almost killed you. And that is what Trump just did to the economy.

Every tariff threat or enacting by trump is pure bullying Much more could be achieved thru actual diplomacy and it won’t panic the markets or threaten jobs BUT he KNOWS that! He is Putin’s chaos agent & this only enriches the top 0.01% who will profit off buying up stocks that are 10-20% cheaper

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
