Much of this Trump disguised reflux is about keeping the ultra-wealthy that much more wealthy. Jeff Besos got to shoot himself and a few friends into outer-space. What a waste of money. How did that benefit mankind? Also, providing tax relief to cash-rich pigs makes no sense. It simply increases the deficit with no benefit to the economy or the country.

Has America become an oligarchy?

Trump can't put his hand on The Bible. He has to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.

Trump snatches watches.
It's just a way for people or countries wanting political favors to give him money

I wonder if most of the Trump junk is made in China.

There's a lot of stuff made in China but apparently not the official Trump stuff, maybe because he has had huge loans that weren't handled well from China so he is bad risk for business

The Trump bibles were made in China.

There still is no tariff on China goods yet. We get to pay the tariffs in the appliances, cars parts, high tech equipment, etc while Trump gets away with his junk made without the tariff cost. It also shows his lack of interest in stimulating American production.

Trump blamed the plane/helicopter collision on the Democrats, Obama, Biden and DEI. I wonder what this does to the public who cannot discern fact from fiction.

I wonder if the tariffs are in part, to make up for the tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. Unfortunately, as Trump touts this is a tax on the countries... No, not really. It's a tax on the importers which is then passed on to the consumer. Then with the reverse tariffs imposed by Canada, Mexico and China is that certain industries will suffer such as Almonds and pigs. California almonds produced 80% of the world's almonds and China imports a lot of pigs or pork. There is a moratorium on Mexico tariffs so that helps grocery shoppers.

So much for Trump lowering the price of eggs and groceries starting Day 1.

Eggs?

30 day moratorium on Canada and Mexico. 62% of oil import comes from Canada, so good luck on that.
