Did you know? Trump’s ex-wife Ivana wasn’t an American citizen until 1988. She gave birth to Don Junior in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984. — Let’s cancel their birthright citizenship first.

“.. the reality is that the Qatari jet can’t ever be upgraded to meet the mandated requirement for Air Force One that it should be able to repel a missile or drone attack. So forget it being anything other than a gift for the president’s retirement.” @nymag.com nymag.com/intelligence...

“.. ‘The world hasn't been faced with such enormous potential impacts to trade in more than 100 years,’ CEO Carol Tome said on the company's earnings call.” @reuters.com $UPS www.reuters.com/markets/us/u...

You're gonna see a lot of headlines like this as India increasingly becomes the dominant source of iPhones sold in the U.S. The iPhones will NOT be made in the USA, no matter what you hear out of the White House. Instead, you get tariff hopping from China to India.

President Donald Trump and his top trade officials have suggested reciprocal tariff exemptions announced Saturday would be partially or completely reversed in coming weeks.

MORGAN STANLEY: “.. Investors should prepare to be fooled many more times. If a master plan exists, .. it's unlikely to work in the way the US administration envisions.”

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

So close to getting it. 🔥 abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

I am sorry. I know we aren’t supposed to go after someone’s appearance, but what is wrong with Scott Bessent’s neck? I have never seen someone hold their head like that. He is so stiff.

Think about how much of an entitled prick you’d have to be to think calling other human beings “peasants” when you’re the Vice President is an ok thing to do. The world’s worst diplomat strikes again. Also: we don’t borrow money from them. That is nonsense.

The spat between Musk and Navarro is the most public rift among members of Trump’s inner circle since he took office in January.

2019 is calling and saying, hey, why didn’t you listen

Elections have consequences

I didn’t want this to happen. I voted for the smart black lady.

“.. Tokyo hasn’t imposed tariffs on car imports since 1978 .. The source of their grievance is, in reality, something far simpler: The cars aren’t good enough.” 🇯🇵 @gearoidreidy.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

China has promised to “fight to the end” in the face of even more tariffs from President Trump. “The U.S. threat to escalate tariffs on China is a mistake on top of a mistake, which once again exposes the U.S.’s blackmail nature,” the ministry said.

“Navarro is truly a moron.” - Elon Musk, 4/7/25

Peter Navarro and his fake expert Ron Vara is now saying it isn’t just tariffs, but non-tariff cheating. We’re cooked.

This!

RAND PAUL: “.. When McKinley most famously put tariffs on in 1890, [the GOP] lost 50 percent of their seats in the next election. When [Smoot and Hawley] put on their tariff in the early 1930s, we lost the House and the Senate for 60 years.” @washingtonpost.com t.co/ONtPfv9On2

S&P 500 down 285 points. @cnbc.com ⛳️

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.

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— Oh.

JPMORGAN: “.. if sustained, this year’s ~22%-point tariff increase would be the largest US tax hike since 1968. “.. The risk of recession in the global economy this year is raised to 60%, up from 40% earlier ..”

Over $2 trillion has been erased from the stock market so far today.

* U.S. ANNOUNCED JOB CUTS TOTAL 275,240 IN MARCH, RECORD HIGH FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH: CHALLENGER @reuters.com

I posted the video over 2 years ago. People thought he was bluffing I guess.

Oh, to have to confidence of a Trump supporter who has no clue what she’s talking about.

Whoever came up with these supposed tariff rates is like Kramer from Seinfeld when he pretended to work at that job "in business"

I wonder how many people realize the tariff on auto parts causes car insurance premiums to go up?

Now that’s a screenshot. > @atrupar.com

Straight down seems bad

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.
