    “It could be corruption, but it could just as easily be incompetence,” said one tariff policy lobbyist. “To be honest, this was such a hurried mess, I am not sure who got into the White House to talk to folks about the list.”

    It's been difficult for quite some time to figure out whether these people are malevolent, stupid, or both. I think there should be a website  where you can vote on either for Trump administration members.

    Thinking it might not be corruption is stupid.

    Fox Host: The new GDP number shows a drop in growth and contraction in the economy, the first we've seen in years. It's a sharp reversal from the 2.4% growth in Q4 of 2024. Q3 was 3.1%. Q2 was 3.4%. Now we're at -0.3%

    While answering questions at the end of his Cabinet meeting Wednesday, Pres. Trump seemed to acknowledge the real impacts his trade war with China could have on Americans.

    "Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls. You know, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally," Trump said.

    Trump has previously said that there would be disruptions, but for the first time, he acknowledged that many Americans might have to do with less as a result of the tariff standoff.

    To be fair, that comment is from 16 months ago. He always claims credit when it's good and deflects when it's bad.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    But the comment on the right claiming Biden is responsible for the over10% drop in stocks since January is from today.

    I think the clarification is because Mickey said “3 months” in his post
