The dollar has been slumping against other currencies, and in 2025 had its biggest decline since 2017 (the first year of Trump’s prior term). Every major currency appreciated against the U.S. dollar in 2025.

Redaction immediately following "Trump is gross" is intriguing. Remember that the principal justification for redactions is protecting the victims. Here it would be important to pursue the question of why this was redacted and whether the victim will consent to revealing what lies beneath.

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways:
First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices.
Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.
