He just testified all morning about the reasons why the tariff policy was going to make America great. Then he checked his phone and realized everything he just said was canceled on Truth Social.

You lost your 401k... and did Trump make money doing it?
He posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" just hours before pausing the tariffs. It's time for everyone to ask House Republicans why they aren't fighting for an investigation into this.

I know this is woke DEI, but could we have a national economic policy that's something other than the minute-by-minute whims of a deranged and malevolent old man?
TL;DR: The new U.S. tariff rate against our two largest trading partners is either 10%, 25% or 35%, and so far no one I've reached out to at the White House is able to tell me which.
So the White House says the 10% baseline tariff also applies to Canada & Mexico. It has not said whether that's the effective new rate itself; whether it adds to the 25% fentanyl tariff, making the new rate 35%; or whether it kicks in only if the fentanyl tariff falls away

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Once you get into business with the Mob, you can never get out.
Donald Trump knows that he owns these cowardly law firms. Here are a few recommendations:
Paul Weiss can litigate to bring children back in the mines.
Milbank can challenge clean air rules.
Willkie Farr can lead on spoiling the water.
Skadden is perfect to break the unions.
Shameful all.

Trump announced that as part of tens of millions of dollars of pro bono services law firms will be providing to him as a result of his shakedowns, law firms will work with coal companies on "leasing and other things"

"Almost all, perhaps literally all, of the voters who were politically engaged enough to participate in Musk’s giveaway would have cast a ballot for the Republican candidate anyway." An election crime for no payoff!
Yes, Elon Musk’s Vote-Buying Is Against the Law
People have gone to prison for comparable schemes.

Trump is willing to wish the entire global economy into the cornfield just because he’s mad that people told him he’s wrong about tariffs.
