Trump undercuts himself with his own post: Tariffs are punitive (he thinks) against other countries- they are NOT economic policy intended to improve the U.S. economy. #Tariffsarenoteconomicpolicy

This, to me, is the most interesting part. His trustworthiness rating of 38% at inauguration is the same 38% his MAGA base gives him in everything- so that base must be the source of his fall to 31% now. MAGA doesn’t trust Trump.

I bet about 90% of moon-landing deniers are MAGA fools. I wonder how they are going to revise that conspiracy theory, now that their fearless leader is planning to put a nuclear reactor on the moon "because solar power and batteries don't work...". See NPR. #TrumpsFolly

I am halfway through this fabulous book (written in 2003) and recommend it highly.
It tells the stories of amazing sacrifices of US Army nurses in WW2. It also shows how deeply ingrained misogyny is in US culture and the lack of recognition and care they received during & after the war.

I was thinking of Jackson Browne's song from 1986 (!) "Lives in the Balance" today. I am sad, frustrated, and angry about all the pain that Trump's shock troops and SCOTUS are intentionally inflicting on this country. #JacksonBrowne #Trump #ICE
