Donald Trump: I'm going to impose massive tariffs! Kamala Harris: Don't vote for that guy, he's going to impose massive tariffs. They'll crash the markets and kill the economy. Trump: I love massive tariffs so I'm doing it. Bill Ackman: Nobody could foresee massive tariffs.

How did we get here? Donald Trump tanked the economy based on a book his son-in-law found on Amazon. He told Jared Kushner to find him an economic advisor—someone who could make him “look tough” and talk tough on China. Jared searched Amazon, saw a book called Death by China,

Brussels is watching amazed, as Trump destroys the US economy. "Nobody in the Commission thought that the US government would be this stupid and self-destructive," an EU official tells me. "That they would blow up their own country by letting ChatGPT make their trade policy." 🧵

exiling cancer researchers at the NIH to work in steel factories is quite literally Maoism lmao

The United States has run trade deficits for 48 straight years, during which time the U.S. economy has grown by 255% in real terms. Decades of trade deficits have corresponded with increases in manufacturing output, wealth, and household incomes.

What we are watching is Trump’s tariff-induced crash turning into a Truss-style fiscal crisis. The collapse in US government long bonds, Treasuries, is startling, scary. It is precisely the opposite of what Trump and his advisers expected and wanted. It partly reflects

🚨 How are DOGE cuts impacting your community? Under Musk's leadership, DOGE has implemented sweeping reductions in grants, contracts, and leases. Here’s a new tool I built that identifies grant and lease terminations by congressional district.

“America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory 👉🏻 cato.org/sites/cato.org…

I don’t want to be alarmist, but the Trump administration refusing to enforce a 9-0 Supreme Court order against violations of due process is the thing. We keep hearing “fascism won’t announce when it’s happened” but this is it. If this goes through democracy is dead

These kinds of stories (and there are several others re: freight delays) are going to create a supply chain bottleneck like we saw with Covid. The result is immediate inflation. The culprit is not just the cost of the tariffs but the lack of preparation to process the tariffs.

It’s hard to imagine that 2Q25 won’t be worse. Which means the Trump recession has already begun. cnn.com/2025/04/30/eco…

This is the biggest wealth transfer in American history from poor to rich, it kicks 14 million off of healthcare, takes nutritional assistance away from families, and blows up the deficit. You don’t convene a hearing at 1 in the morning if you think your bill is popular.

Trump acts in accordance with Putin's playbook: 1. First you seize control over the main TV channels. 2. Next you take out the top oligarch (Musk). 3. Then you cut down the top regional governor (Newsom). Then you consolidate your authoritarian rule. Where are the democrats?

Astronomer hiring Gwyneth Paltrow — who consciously uncoupled Chris Martin after 13 years of marriage — for an ad campaign explaining how Apache Airflow and ML Pipelines work is a 1000D chess move

Whatever’s in the Epstein files about Trump is so bad that he called them a hoax, accused Obama of treason, shut down the Epstein investigation, recessed Congress to prevent a vote on releasing the files, and rushed his criminal attorney to prison to offer Epstein’s accomplice an
