Trump has a plan about tariffs. Until, his tariffs got punched in the face.

Trump talks recession. Market down.

I went to Target today to buy mason jar and the jar marked "Made in China" was $5 while the jar mad in the US was $18. Okay, the US jar was 1.5 times larger but 3 times more costly? Don't know. Apparently the jar "Made in China" was imported before the tariff.

Trump doesn't intend to do anything good with the tariffs. He is just taxing the populace without calling it a tax. The money from tariffs will go to give the rich folks a tax break.

I have an option of watching several TVs at the fitness center and whenever I see Trump talking, I move to another channel. I know that whatever he's saying is bs. This morning there was a GOP representative on CNN talking about the budget, he said that Trump never lied to him, I just laughed out loud and moved to another station. Hmmm, let's see, we're paying social security to 150 and 200 yo people. Given that social security was established in 1935, how is that possible? Yawn, the White House is a circus.

Heather Cox Richardson on the economy according to Trump. This was posted yesterday and today, the market took another dive

Yesterday evening, on Air Force One, a reporter asked President Donald Trump if he is worried about a recession. “Who knows?” the president answered. “All I know is this: We’re going to take in hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs, and we’re going to become so rich, you’re not going to know where to spend all that money. I’m telling you, you just watch. We’re going to have jobs. We’re going to have open factories. It’s going to be great.”

There's a simple solution. Trump and Musk supporters can just buy a Tesla. Remember in "It's a Wonderful Life" where the townspeople had Jimmy Stewart's character back.

I never watch any of Trump's speeches. This man is so ignorant and believes if he repeats the same dumb thing he said before, people will start believing. I made the mistake of not changing the channel when his press secretary starts trying to get political by talking about how news reporters should be talking about Biden being cognitive impaired and signing pre-emptive pardons.

Trump sounds like a 4th grader when he talks.

Looks like DOGE is trying to do something they're not familiar with. 82yo Seattle man declared dead by DOGE and money taken out of his bank account. DOGE must be utilizing AI. I have worked with many people over the years with artificial intelligence.
