The theme of today in particular but this era in general is that everything Trump does is completely transparent in intent and eventual outcome and sane people are left sitting around and waiting for his supporters to slowly experience reality crashing on the rocks around them.

When #FOTUS accuses anyone of 'treason', when you look through the addled reasoning behind it, what he's actually accusing them of 'lese majeste'. I'm still stunned by how 1/2 of the #USA is ok with a president happily behaving like a monarch. #MadKing

The entire world goes up and down on the whims of the #madking. Every country in the world trying to figure out how to disassociate from the afflicted nation. #tariffs #USA #FOTUS

If it were your active mission to destroy the geopolitical standing of the United States, I don't know how you could do a more effective job than the current administration short of, like, invading Switzerland or nuking the Vatican.

Why does every single major technology breakthrough in the conservation space end up becoming the Spiderman Dinosaur meme?

As Dan Drezner recently wrote there’s a deepy embedded bias toward seeing politics as basically rational. You’ll get criticism of the policy, but there’s real resistance to coming straight out with “This is a crazy person. It is dangerous to let him keep running the country.”

In the future, #USA skyscrapers will skip the 45th and 47th floors. That is if there's any more engineers left to build any. #tariffs #FOTUS

Non-USA newspapers right now: #Trump unleashes chaos upon the entire world. Will America survive? 🇺🇸 newspapers: the times appear to be chaotic, who can say why? Here's our MAGA whisperer explaining why we might be better off all working 3 jobs anyway 😀

Big crowd milling around the oval office. #FOTUS is telling everyone how wonderful his #tariffs are for the market, such beautiful tariffs. But then someone from the back blurts out "Shame the markets tanked". All of a sudden, silence. #FOTUS yells out "Navarro, Bessent, Lutnick, CNBC" stay and /n

oh this is interesting, #TRUMP #FOTUS will of course laugh about screwing over the europeans, canadians and easter asians. But there's no way in hell he'll resist an ounce of pressure coming from #MBS ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/mideast...

Trump just instituted the most crushing tariffs in modern history, higher than the Smoot Hawley tariffs that devastated the economy, highest in the world by a huge margin. Every newspaper: “Trump enacts new tariffs, some prices may go up”

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

PM @mark-carney.bsky.social just made a good point, the tariffs already in place will hit #Canada hard, but it's the absolute destruction of the #USA economy that the global ones will cause that may be even worse for us - when America feels the full impact of this, we'll be hurt even more. #tariffs

Could I please ask the press to stop reporting Trump’s rather arbitrary numbers of the tariffs other countries impose as though this were real? The WTO has a tariff database. You can look up the real numbers there.

If we were conquered and under hostile occupation, what would the government do differently? Would an occupation government that wanted to crush the United States as a vibrant, prosperous country with influence around the world do anything differently?
