MARKET FALLS AS TRUMP MANIPULATES TARIFFS FOR PERSONAL
PROFIT
Trump is continuing to monkey with tariff rates. This morning he
posted on social media that “[s]Jome very strange things dare
happening in China!” ...In his post, Trump threatened to retaliate
against China and suggested that there was no reason to go through
with an upcoming meeting with China's president Xi Jinping.
Trump's threat sent stock prices tumbling.
After the stock market closed for the day, Trump posted on social
media again, saying he would impose tariffs of 100% on products
from China beginning on November 1. This levy is on top of current
tariffs. Stocks fell further in after-market trading.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ib5koctqxghjussex3atvqlf/bafkreibo3ubdqrfpmhkblij2yeiiqemmljgiz6rw4wvlx6bd4tyskj7xv4@jpeg)

NO KINGS IS A HATE AMERICA RALLY
Nandita Bose, Jana Winter, Jeff Mason, Tim Reid, and Ted Hesson of
Reuters reported on Thursday that White House deputy chief of staff
Stephen Miller is playing a central role in the administration's crackdown
on opponents. The administration is threatening to target funding behind
what the administration calls “domestic terror networks,” those it claims
embrace “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity.”
House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) got into the act of attacking the
administration's opponents today, ...Johnson called the October 18 No
Kings rally a “hate America rally” of “[t]he antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas
crowd, and the Marxists.... It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous
purposes,” he said.
Majority whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) joined in, calling those who are taking a
stand against Trump's destruction of the nation’s constitutional checks
and balances “the terrorist wing” of the Democratic Party, saying it “is set
to hold...a hate America rally in [Washington, D.C.] next week.” Legal
scholar David Noll noted that it's “interesting that if you say the
[Clonstitution creates a separation of powers systems in which there are
no kings, they think you hate [A]merica.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ib5koctqxghjussex3atvqlf/bafkreiflkx6ohijmc6xmt2rijmulmlmzeqvzr75zorgii67xpq7kkggznm@jpeg)
