but the official White House story is that tariffs are deflationary or free money or something. In any case, other countries pay tariffs.
trump is counting on you being idiots and remaining idiots, maga.
“The White House says it will reduce tariffs on agricultural equipment, such as combines and harvesters, in order to reduce costs for US farmers and manufacturers”
WSJ:
"Countless so-called experts, including those featured frequently in The Wall Street Journal, predicted confidently that the Trump tariffs would crash stock markets, crush economic growth, cause massive inflation, destroy American exports, and trigger a “worldwide recession.” Nine months later, the results are in, every one of those predictions has proven completely and totally wrong...
In the third quarter of 2025, gross domestic product growth was booming at 4.4%, and despite the Democrat-induced shutdown last fall, which cost us at least 1 point, the fourth quarter is projected by the Atlanta Fed to be well over 5%, a number like our country has not seen in many years.
Meanwhile, annual core inflation for the past three months has dropped to just 1.4%—far lower than almost anyone, other than me, had predicted. Economic growth does not cause inflation—in fact, often it does the exact opposite. Real incomes for the typical worker rose $1,000, $2,000 or even more last year, increasing much faster than consumer prices. Wages far outpaced inflation. Since “Liberation Day,” the stock market has skyrocketed, with the strong possibility that we will soon break 50,000 on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, something which everyone thought was impossible, at least in one year!...
Just over one year ago, we were a “DEAD” country. Now, we are the “HOTTEST” country anywhere in the world!...
Experience since Liberation Day has proved that this analysis is not only far too simplistic—it is absolutely wrong! The data shows that the burden, or “incidence,” of the tariffs has fallen overwhelmingly on foreign producers and middlemen, including large corporations that are not from the U.S. According to a recent study by the Harvard Business School, these groups are paying at least 80% of tariff costs.
In many cases, nations that are heavily dependent on exports have had no choice but to “eat” the tariffs to avoid even worse losses from their excess capacity. So, while the average U.S. tariff rate on foreign products has increased by more than five times, inflation has fallen dramatically!
At the same time...the tariff tool [was wielded] to secure colossal Investments in America, like no other country has ever seen before. By his own accounting, in four years, Joe Biden got less than $1 trillion of new Investment in the United States. In less than one year, we have secured commitments for more than $18 trillion, a number that is unfathomable to many.""
Now post the ACTUAL fourth quarter GDP growth. Here’s a hint: it was less than 5%
Now post the current core inflation: Here’s a hint: it’s above 1.4%.
Illegal Immigrants and Foreign Fraudsters steal BILLIONS every year from the American Taxpayer. As part of my Administration’s Historic effort to end FRAUD and reverse MASS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, I recently signed a powerful new Executive Order, which will be led by the Treasury Department, to stop Banks, Credit Cards, and Financial Institutions from being used to facilitate Human Smuggling, Drug Trafficking, Illegal Immigration, and the Criminal Cartels who orchestrate these activities. Access to our Nation’s Financial Systems must be limited to those who have a Legal Right to be here, and who are engaged in Lawful and Legitimate Commerce. Bank Accounts being used to enable Illegal Immigration, or to store the Welfare received by Illegal Aliens, will be shut down, and funds will ultimately face Impoundment and Seizure so they can to be returned to Taxpayers. It is not ludicrous, but profoundly dangerous, that any Illegal Alien can simply present a Blue State Drivers License, or Biden Border Document, and have unrestricted access to the U.S. Financial System. This also sends a clear message to the anti-ICE rioters that your violent disruptions are only strengthening our resolve. My Executive Order will also allow us to stop Billions in leaving our Country in all manner of criminal activity. It has been said this measure we are taking is the most effective means of reversing Biden’s Border Invasion. We shall soon find out! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump Chews Out Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu in Expletive-Filled Phone Call, Warns 'I'm Saving Your Ass': Report
Trump: You're f---ing crazy! You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this."
Of course, as with all things Trump, the opposite is always true.
Trump to himself: I'M f---ing crazy! I'D be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving MY OWN ass. Everybody hates ME now. Everybody hates ME because of this."
He cannot do that to a Jew. That’s antisemitism, and Trump should be canceled by both parties immediately.
This appears to partly be drivel written by your master.
Here is the article headline: "Tariffs Have Brought America Back The ‘experts’ predicted market crashes, massive inflation and recession. They were all wrong."
Opinion, written by DJT. NOT a news article by WSJ reporters.
and the idiots keep asking why we have 'No Kings' rallies.
the better question is why the magas aren't attending the No Kings rallies.
Utter authoritarianism:
NYT
The White House is seeking to exert more control over billions of dollars in annual government grants, aiming to restrict a vast swath of funding — in health, housing, science and transportation — so that it primarily serves the purposes and organizations politically aligned with President Trump.
so trump is nominating a former homebuilder and private equity fund guy (pulte) as head of intelligence aka DNI.
better:
so trump is nominating a mega-rich Trump donor, former homebuilder and private equity fund guy (pulte) with zero intelligence experience as head of intelligence aka DNI.
He already has great experience building ballrooms. He can build the best and the most beautiful ballrooms, at a price lower than expected and also faster than expected. The ridiculous Ballroom lawsuit, brought by a woman walking her dog, who has absolutely No Standing to bring such a suit, must be dropped, immediately. Nothing should be allowed to interfere with with its construction, which is on budget and substantially ahead of schedule!!!
In a sign of Strength and Fortitude, it was just announced that The White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which violently ended rather abruptly on April 25th, will be rescheduled to July 24th. This announcement is a very good thing in that we cannot allow Lunatics to change our way of life, or even its scheduling. I was asked to be there, and speak, by Weijia Jiang, President of The White House Correspondents’ Association, and have accepted. I don’t know whether or not I will give the same rather nasty statements, at least as it concerns certain people, but we will soon find out. In any event, it will be a “HOT” ticket! Interestingly, the location will be The Waldorf Astoria, on Pennsylvania Avenue, a Building and Ballroom that I built. President DONALD J. TRUMP
The building he claims to have built was built in 1892.

I’ll give you an hour.
Since Trump2028 is unable to post anything more than other people’s tweets, I have to post the numbers showing how terrible Trump’s policies are.
Trump “predicted” that fourth quarter gdp growth would be well above 5%. In reality, his terrible policies lead to lackluster growth of just 0.5% (950% below what Trump claimed). I didn’t go to a third-tier college like Sally Vix, so I know that 0.5% growth is not well-above 5%.
In April, 2026 PCE core inflation was 3.3% (up 136% from when Trump posted his rant). This is the Trump economy - soaring inflation and low gdp growth; just like the experts predicted (and that Trump got completely wrong).
so trump is nominating a former homebuilder and private equity fund guy (pulte) as head of intelligence aka DNI.
better:

Best
so Trump is hiring a guy that has proven in his last Trump appointment that he is willing to do corrupt and illegal stuff to make Trump happy.
and the idiots keep asking why we have 'No Kings' rallies.

Facts: Trump walked in on undressed minors at his pageants and made sexual comments about them, multiple times. He said if she weren't his daughter he would "date" Ivanka and has put his hands on her hips in public. He admired Epstein for his taste in young women and said they had that in common. He has vehemently resisted the release of the Epstein files, given Maxwell a country club prison, and stopped all DOJ and FBI investigations into those files. He has HIS name redacted 100s of thousands of times, but left victims names exposed. Trump is the current president and you defend him here every single day.
With the MLB Draft coming in a month, the cowardly orange pig once again went to his Dr and was diagnosed with those pesky "bone spurs", ensuring he will not be drafted.
