Trump claims his tariff pause is the result of concessions from Canada and Mexico on border enforcement.

But many of these so-called "concessions" are policies both countries were already doing (or planning to do) before he took office.

Some dealmaker, huh?

It was called the Gilded Age because it was a thin veneer of gold. Fake. Riches and wealth for a few.

This is another gilded age.

Since Monday, Trump has: Halted civil rights investigations, suspended public health advisories, frozen infrastructure spending, rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors and another one aimed at lowering drug prices.

How does this help working people?
