"Fortunately for Donald Trump, there’s One Weird Trick that can help cure stagflation without turning to Congress or the Fed. He could just cut tariffs." Or SCOTUS could do it for him - and us.

Everyone can see there's no strategy behind Trump’s tariffs—and every American is being forced to pay the price.
I hope SCOTUS recognizes the shoddy legal ground these tariffs stand on and rules accordingly, but either way, Republicans should help Democrats end Trump’s tariffs.

RE ELON I said "finally," but one more thing: ELON if you'd give up your grandfather's X technocracy and embrace empathy (the Golden Rule) YOU COULD HELP MAKE A BETTER WORLD. Not as exciting as being a Marvel Comics villain; but while goodness is a bit boring, it is the only true conqueror.

Finally RE ELON - In Italian (Elon loves Romans) "doge" means leader as does "duce." No surprise ELON likes the word. There is an uncanny similarity between il duce Mussolini and Elon. Just top GIF with a little hair and presto! t.gifs.bsky.app/nm8zaQHo1SMA...
