No notes.

A-friggin’-men, Rep. Swalwell!

I’m tired of these hacks like Bill Ackman and Andrew Yang who enabled Donald Trump and helped elect him now screeching about tariffs.

"Business is a confidence game”? Pretty sure he meant “business requires confidence, i.e., trust. The one thing about business Trump is incapable of understanding. Ironically, also the fundamental thing government, through law, helps establish. Follow the laws, business thrives, trust is reliable and, when it isn’t, enforceable. Through government.

Trump understands none of this. That’s where the real problem lies.

Crypto is tanking today.

Thanks, Donald Trump! pic.twitter.com/skm29ajOeF

The price of Donald Trump's sh*tcoin fell off a cliff.

Love this for him and his investors.

Hmm...maybe crypto is not…trustworthy?

Speaking of which:

Trump: What’s going to happen with the market, I can't tell you but I'll tell you how our country has gotten a lot stronger pic.twitter.com/6YazvoRIDf

Um...okay. And how are we defining "strong"?

Trump: Just so you understand the power of what I'm doing. Every country is calling and being very solicitous of us and being very nice pic.twitter.com/roJAl3kiEg

Ok, he thinks he's strong.

Reporter: Have you talked to any tech leaders over the weekend about tariffs.

Trump: I've talked to the biggest in the world. I talked to the biggest of them all, many of them. You know what they said? We don't blame you.

Reporter: Who did you talk to?

Trump: I don't want to… pic.twitter.com/cny7QpwTin

See?

Trump: I spoke to a lot of leaders European, Asian from all over the world, they are been dying to make a deal. But I said we’re not going to have deficit with your country. We’re not going to do that because to me a deficit is a loss pic.twitter.com/tIv6RAlfnu

And that is what he told them.

Trump: We have chips companies coming in.. Biden had nothing coming in. This was a dead company. This was a dead country with Biden. He didn’t know what he was doing pic.twitter.com/tK1w9k9b8H

(The companies are coming because of Biden. No company would make such a major decision and be ready to act on it within 24 hours, as Trump suggests. The very idea is delusional.)

Trump: I was elected on this. This was one of the biggest reasons I got elected. We’re going to put tariffs— we’ve already put them on. It’s not a question of we will. Those tariffs will make us one trillion dollars pic.twitter.com/ilDdmqUxmx

The U.S. stock market has lost $10 trillion of market capitalization as of April 4 due to Trump's tariffs. https://t.co/3iMQ2RIyKi

He’s really not very good at math. And all he really knows is that “a trillion” sounds like a lot; and enough to be impressive.
