At what point does the sheer short-sighted stupidity become more widely seen?
25% tax on Apple products while singling out the CEO by name for retribution, 50% tax on European goods, expulsion of foreign students, bill passed with most debt in history, while hosting a dinner for people who gave you $300+ million. All in the last 24 hours. The Golden Age.

Trump's unpopularity helps another center-left candidate. Ok, friends, how about here at home in the US?

Hate to be cruel but the stupidity of Trump voters is hard to understate. “Ms. Hall said she never thought her own costs would increase, & she hoped that Mr. Trump would quickly bring prices down. ‘I don’t have that faith anymore.’” https://t.co/prerqDZG8M via @NYTimes

President Trump’s trade policies are already starting to frustrate American consumers who have noticed higher prices in their shopping carts.

It's telling that the link from a @GetSpectrum email asking to grade service doesn't work. The equipment is fine, remote tech was good, the office in Pasadena, CA where I had to pick up a router was terrible: understaffed, slow, I have to wait 45 minutes for a 3-minute swap.

Another day, another bit of inanity.
The mainstream media may label it a Trump retreat, but I see it as a strategic advance. President Trump's approach aims for a more cooperative China, fostering fair trade by reducing tariffs and trade barriers. This strategy positions the U.S. for greater economic gains!

#CourageCount2025 This quite moderate letter asking for #constructiveengagement while insisting on university independence has about 300 signatories who are leaders of US colleges and universities. Missing: @USC As they say on SNL's Coffee Talk skit: "please discuss."
