I think it’s very funny that one of the go-to defenses for Trump’s very stupid version of mercantilism is “he’s had these views for forty years.” Oh well, then we absolutely *gotta* let him wreck the global economy if he’s believed this nonsense for long enough.

If it were your active mission to destroy the geopolitical standing of the United States, I don't know how you could do a more effective job than the current administration short of, like, invading Switzerland or nuking the Vatican.

There is no plan.
And if someone from the administration tells you there is, they’re lying to you.

Analysis: Trump’s Tariffs Disrupt Global Trade Without a Clear Strategy
The global trading system is only one example of the administration tearing something apart, only to reveal that it has no plan for how to replace it.

You live in a country where a guy who did the Nazi salute is being absolutely cheered on as he usurps power from Congress.
You don't live in a country with "a few dark chapters." This is us. We're racist. It's time to own it and start the work of dismantling it.

While both Trump and Vance yelled at him. Un-effing-believable that #ThisIsAmerica now.
President Zelenskyy showed more backbone and self-respect in one Oval Office meeting than the entire GOP has collectively demonstrated over the last 9 years.
He is standing up for his people while Trump mows through ours.

The richest man in the world calls people who get help from government programs the “parasite class.”
But Medicaid’s beneficiaries aren’t parasites. Half of them are children.
If we’re talking about people who depend on government, Elon Musk is the biggest “parasite” of all.
