They seem to have misunderstood this key point, bond markets won’t simply bounce back in inverse proportion to tariffs, their weakness is a consequence of the market’s assessment of their economic competence, not of how large a tariff is imposed at any given moment. This kind of shit makes it worse.

Trump has done tremendous damage to our travel/tourism industry, which supports approximately 9.6 MILLION American jobs and contributes over $2.4 TRILLION to our GDP. (chart courtesy of Financial Times)

Welp, got an answer to this question: Apparently the answer is no tariffs are being collected. Trump broke the system www.cnbc.com/2025/04/11/c...

The Justice Department moved to drop charges against a man they had alleged to be a “major leader” of the MS-13 gang – just weeks after publicly lauding his arrest – a move his lawyer says is the first step toward immediately deporting him to El Salvador.

The Saudi and UAE policymakers who thought they knew better than everyone else about how to handle Donald Trump are now having the foundations of their economic model burned to the ground by Donald Trump

Max Hastings in The Times today does one of the best jobs so far of properly chronicling the USA's breakneck descent into fascism. I don't think a single person will be aware of *all* the evidence. (I know about paywalls & the mixed records of all pundits so please don't feel the need to remind me!)

A stopped clock is right twice a day, of course, but the least helpful analysis at the moment involves pompous, discredited old men insisting that Starmer needs to do exactly what they would have wanted him to do long before Trump set fire to everything. Andrew Neil is their patron saint.

Crockett: "If we are gonna talk about efficiency, let's talk about the fact that as of March 30, Trump's golfing has cost us approximately $26 million. And the last time I checked, we're not getting anything in return for that ... he decided he was going to golf instead of receiving four heroes."

Yup. Just like 'Brexit Derangement Sydrome'. They are just phrases designed to be shouted so loud that the shouters can (almost) drown out the voices of conscience and truth.
