One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

How can people, who claim to love me, hear Trump say "woke no longer" and applaud him for saying such? As a queer man I am part of that "woke" ideology. It is evident more than ever that my rights and freedoms are on the MAGA chopping block.
I don't know how to forgive that. I don't think I can.
