With a build like his, the only way that could be true is if he were closer to Danny DeVito in height.Trump now weighs 224 pounds (101 kg),
If he's 224 pounds, then I'm a 90-pound ballerina!With a build like his, the only way that could be true is if he were closer to Danny DeVito in height.

This is a lot more than a "row back". Some have called it the "Art of the Repeal". The 4D chess has been replaced by someone playing one dimensional checkers, but unable to tell the difference between opposing pieces.
In normal times, Congress has to approve any tax, including tariffs. Trump is relying on an Emergency Powers law that gives him authority to take some actions (although tariffs are not explicitly mentioned) in the event of "a national emergency." So he has cited the export of fentanyl and chemical precursors of fentanyl as the "emergency" to allow him to set tariffs.Things are subject to a 20% Fentanyl Tariff?
What does that even mean?

Desperate poor and homeless people also means it's easier to get slaves for prison work camps.So despite the suffering, starvation and dramatic increase in bankruptcies and homelessness that's going follow.... they'll take a victory lap because they "Solved The Inflation Problem".

What does increasing prices on iPhones have to do with stopping Fentanyl though.In normal times, Congress has to approve any tax, including tariffs.

Forced to endure the pain of buying an iPhone at the new tariff pricing, people are going to seek out far better pain-killing drugs then they can get here.What does increasing prices on iPhones have to do with stopping Fentanyl though.
While tha't's a distinct possibility/probability, I'm more convinced that the strategic plan (if they have one) is to crash the economy and neuter government so it can't fix anything. Then Trump can say "I alone can fix it" with a modicum of reality. Martial law, a controlled economy (tilted in his direction), total control over everything.Totally unhinged random observation from far left field #592:
I'm really starting to think that gutting the workforce has been Project 2025's plan to reduce inflation.
Undoing decades of anti-monopoly efforts are pretty clearly part of their strategic direction. Trump is just the wrecking ball they're using to smash everything to rubble so the ultra-wealthy can re-monopolize on the cheap. After that, what's left of the government will only exist to protect them from the rest of us.While tha't's a distinct possibility/probability, I'm more convinced that the strategic plan (if they have one) is to crash the economy and neuter government so it can't fix anything.

It's a horrifying thought, mostly because DT is an ignorant, uninformed, narcisstic asshole. And that's just the factual analysis. Don't make me get personal.
