Yep. Tariff revenue are about doubled what they were last year at this time. We may even hit 300 BILLION by the end of the year.
1% of GDP, maybe 7% of revenue. *clap clap*

There is a $2T yearly deficit. Tariffs increased from about 3.5% to 7% of revenue. Tariffs are causing inflation and business retraction, so tax income is falling. Trump could fire every federal employee and only save 5%, so he has saved 1% with layoffs, maybe Republicans just DECREASED revenue by much more that the the gains from layoffs and tariffs, mostly as a gift to rich people while taking programs from the poor.
So, yes, $300B sounds like a lot but it is actually an overall loss.
The whole Russian collusion narrative has been proven to be a hoax.
Precious Roy can now stop with "Russia has invaded the WH" nonsense.
Mueller was never coming. Silly Willy was wrong all along.
Jesus. F*cking. Christ. Anybody with an IQ over 30 knows that Russia has invaded the White House. You can stop defending the convicted felon and serial rapist.
Trump still thinks Putin likes and respects him. It is sad, pitiful.
Donald J. Trump and 18 of his associates had at least 140 contacts with Russian nationals and WikiLeaks, or their intermediaries, during the 2016 campaign and presidential transition.
Do you not understand the difference between deflation and disinflation?
We do, do you? CPI increased 2.3% in April compared to a year ago, 2.4% in May compared to a year ago, and 2.7% in June compared to a year ago. So would you categorize that as deflation or disinflation?

So many new Creepy things are coming out about our wonderful God fearing Pres !
"Over the weekend, a report from the New York Times found that, in 1992, Trump hosted a so-called “calendar girl” modeling competition at his Mar-a-Lago estate, with Epstein “the only other guest.” Jill Harth, then-girlfriend and business partner of the event’s organizer, claimed that Trump forcibly kissed her in a bedroom and restrained her, preventing her from leaving. Harth sued Trump for sexual misconduct but dropped her case in 1997. Trump has denied all wrongdoing".
So, AFTER Epstein dies in custody, Trump investigates Maxwell, arrests her and charges her back in 2020.
Years later, all this Epstein stuff comes up again because the MAGAs believe it involved Clinton and not Epstein's best friend Trump. So THEN, and only THEN, Trump (1) has the DOJ flag all instances of his name in the Epstein files, (2) claims he is not in the Epstein files (despite what Mosk and the DOJ flags say) and they will not be released, (3) claims all documents in the Epstein files with his name on them are fabricated by Obama, Clinton and Biden (and actually sues anyone who says otherwise), (4) fires the original Maxwell prosecutor who actually reviewed ALL the Epstein files, and (5) decides to have his new Deputy AG Todt Blanche -- who is ALSO his go-to personal criminal defense attorney --- meet with the long ago convicted Maxwell for first time (and while her appeal is pending). This fvcking reeks of putrid stench. Jesus Christ. Let's hope the Signal chat group for this effort gets leaked some day. I mean, Jesus fvcking Christ, WTF?
I think the administration’s mad dash to cover up Trump’s involvement is great news. He’s already losing loud voices on the right over this. Wait until one of his stooges makes a misstep (like including a journalist in a chat) and it blows wide open. Trump’s Keystone Cops are bound to screw this up. It’s the White House Plumbers all over again.
