Here's the president of the U.S. telling a private company how it must make its products, on pain of seeing a massive, government-imposed increase in its input costs. I very rarely use the word "fascist," but this is unconstitutional, fascist nonsense.

I don't understand how this is hard to understand. If I buy something with dollars, I have not "lost" those dollars. I have traded them for something I value more highly than the dollars. It doesn't matter if that trade is with a domestic company or a foreign one - exchanging

What they are doing at Harvard, Columbia, and other universities indicates that they are a bunch of wannabe dictators who want to control American university life. We need to protect the First Amendment. It's absolutely critical.

This is awful. Reliable economic data is a key strength of the US economy. When Argentina and Greece faked economic data it contributed to major crises. I don't think Trump will be able to fake the data given the procedures. But there is now a risk plus an awful appearance.

Pretty soon all economic and jobs data released by the federal government will be handwritten with a black Sharpie

Trump's trade war probably qualifies as the greatest madness in economic policy in a developed country after WWII: 1. All decisions are made by one single person (Trump). 2. No principles are applied. 3. No economic rationale or theory. 4. All is based on Trump's emotions. /1
