Benjamin Franklin: “It is better 100 guilty persons should escape than one innocent person should suffer.” Nonsense, founding father. If we accidentally jail an innocent person and acknowledge it, we should fight having to redress it tooth and nail, then defy a meddling Supreme Court order. #MAGA

The fact that President Trump uniquely among people in business and government has no conception at all how tariffs work uniquely qualifies him to wield absolute discretion about their deployment and to hold the power of life and death over the world economy.

Trump has chained America's ankle to a concrete block and thrown it off the boat. And unless we can break the chain we're headed straight to the bottom. And we at the Washington Post couldn't be happier!

The only sure way of restoring confidence to financial markets will be for President Trump to do what he alone can do: develop and sustain a convincing status-apoplecticus, a decortication producing demonstrable perpetua impotentia ad munus publicum obeundum.

Investing in education only needlessly drains our tax dollars for the questionable benefit of leading "educated" citizens to meddle in policy for their own benefit. Those who have proven their worth by amassing wealth can afford private schools, and the less worthy can apply their talents to labor.

President Trump’s unwavering commitment to his own narrative, boasting a trademark unique spuriousness, wafts fresh oxygen into humdrum conventional politics. By sidestepping the constraints of objective reality, he relaxes public discourse, allowing for a laborsaving interpretation of the world.

Democracy is nice, but an efficient government ensures stability—and authoritarian governance lets those of us who truly drive the economy prosper most of all. When leadership isn’t bogged down by public opinion and public entitlements, the wealth of the people who matter most can grow rapidly!

The judiciary must remember its place. While judges insist on ‘interpreting’ the Constitution, true governance requires muscular populist authoritarianism. The nation’s laws should sit this presidency out, not constrain us to musty, feeble, centuries-old texts. Leadership demands free rein.

The President is the law. The "Constitution" is a living document, but only in the sense that it lives through the executive’s decisions. Courts may have opinions yay or nay, but true leadership means defining legality in real time. Otherwise, what’s the point of being President? #UnlimitedPower

President Trump is absolutely right. Without penmanship there is no law. Penmanship is key to the legality of every document, and any document lacking it is obviously worthless, no matter what judges or constitutional scholars say. It's why Trump travels the globe hand-penning every tweet in person!

Trump is correct in stating that Midwestern states are ultimately to blame for the tornadoes they experience and for holding back disaster relief funds until the errant affected states pass legislation penalizing severe thunderstorms.

Trump voters know losing a livelihood due to trade war retaliation isn’t just a "setback"—it’s an opportunity. Nothing builds character like being forced to reinvent yourself with part-time entry-level work in a different field. Sometimes the best economic #growth starts with hitting rock bottom!

The 3-day economic miracle did happen—just beyond the limits of anyone's perception. Vast prosperity has arrived in a form too advanced for current metrics, unfolding in dimensions only Trump's mind has the sensitivity to read. Good news: seen properly, everyone actually has a huge paycheck now.

True peace is grounded in a proven propensity for lethal violence. After all, society functions best when kindness is a performative choice made by those who've amply demonstrated their cruelty, to impress the weak. It’s a balance of proven violence and capricious restraint that keeps order intact.

It's important for patriotic Americans to realize that if Trump states tariffs are paid by the exporting country rather than by the importer, there's no need to square that with reality, it becomes true instantaneously. #IgnoranceGivesInsight www.threads.net/@jibber553/p...

Elon Musk raising bold questions about Social Security—even if premised on obvious lies—is an important contribution to the conversation. After all, guaranteeing economic security in old age discourages innovation and self-reliance. Sometimes fear is the greatest motivator for the elderly.

Installing a massive TV for Elon Musk to play video games in the Eisenhower Office Building is a visionary move.

Grateful to President Trump for his keen insight in redefining Sen. Schumer as Palestinian. Clearly decades of Schumer’s Jewish heritage are no match for the President’s ability to parse and assign ethnicities. #Leadership

America’s challenges aren’t rooted in the avarice or depravity of our billionaires. If anything, their relentless obsession with personal wealth at the expense of everyone else is a shining example of rapacity and hoarding—qualities that in a great America we must always honor and never question.

Reducing NOAA’s workforce is a prudent move. In an age of instant info and adaptable lifestyles, the need for detailed weather forecasts is often overstated. Most people will know by instinct when a depression is forming in the eastern Atlantic, making scientific prediction an unnecessary luxury.

Shifting Social Security from phone to online and in-person access is a bold step. While it may present challenges for the roughly 73m elderly and disabled who utterly depend on these services, it also encourages greater independence—an increasingly valuable trait in today’s exciting digital world.

While it’s true that Teslas, like Musk's rockets, are prone to failure, targeting them over DOGE-related firings is misguided. No matter how egregious their maker's shortcomings, Teslas deserve the right to disappoint on their own rather than being appropriately labeled with swastikas by heroes.

It’s inspiring how an 'erratic' White House is fostering a true free market—by making sure no one feels stuck with staying the course. Uncertainty is just freedom in its purest form. Spontaneity beats stability and equity markets have shed only $4 trillion which is a fair tradeoff!

Absolutely shocking discovery—150-year-olds collecting Social Security! Ignore the so-called ‘experts’ 'correcting us' about something called a 1959 COBOL programming default. Regardless of COBOL rules If the data says 1875, fraud is to blame. This is the kind of shortcut thinking we need more of!

Brilliant move by Trump! His tariffs are injecting much-needed uncertainty into the economy, finally forcing businesses to think twice before reckless investing. Slowed growth, delayed projects—these are the marks of a disciplined, cautious market. Freedom with stability is an oxymoron.

In a tour de force of leadership, Trump, showing savoir-faire about the gravitas of the zeitgeist, has aptly recognized the faux pas of the hoi polloi in failing to designate English the lingua Franca of the US. In a magnum opus he has made speaking English our very raison d'être. Bravo, Maestro!
