🚨 DEM SHUTDOWN BLUFF — REJECTED. “The $1.5T in spending they’re calling for — that’s not on the table. We inherited the worst budget deficit-to-GDP... We’ve managed to bring that down. We’re not going to let them be irresponsible with the budget again.” — @SecScottBessent

PSA : Reagan is also the one who negotiated the first US Canada free trade agreement!
BREAKING: trump is having a temper tantrum, ending ALL trade negotiations with Canada. He's butthurt that they aired an ad of President Reagan that shows how dumb trump's tariffs are. It's VERY effective. Be a shame if it went viral. 🇺🇲🇨🇦 https://t.co/fkCx0YNaHi

Bold conjecture: Fentanyl tariffs coming down: 👉”Trump said the first question he would ask the Chinese leader would be about fentanyl” 👉And, conveniently, the drug war has shifted to Venezuela.

If you think the rise in goods prices is "small" so far, despite the tariffs, remember that many were having trouble making ends meet before the tariffs: 👉According to a survey cited in Forbes Advisor, about 78% of Americans reported living paycheck-to-paycheck in a 2023 survey.

Trumpian tariffs did what tariffs should do (cut imports). 💥But they also did what they weren’t supposed to do (cut exports). 👉Much of the export drop happened in industrial supplies. ➡️The irony is hard to miss. It seems that, In trying to rebuild American industry, Trumpian
