That was back when he used to leave me alone. Then he set my kids future back a generation and wrecked our currency
Now he's essentially leading the most interventionist government of my lifetime
Wow - set them back a generation.
Can’t wait to save this one for when q1 26 rolls around.
Might make a good signature one day.

Please do
Your guy locked the country down and bragged about shutting down the economy. And called to primary anyone who didn't support trillions in printing.

America would be better off figuring out how to improve robotics to get robots to make everything including our phoens, cihps, etc.
My favorite part has to be Republicans answering both at a slightly higher rate.

Reminds me a bit of the Obamacare debate, and healthcare more generally, where a majority of people answer that they’re content with their personal situation, but assume everyone else’s situation sucks.
Or the “college is a scam” folks who think most people’s kids shouldn’t go to college, but they’re certainly not talking about their own children.

An extra fee is showing up on more shopping bills lately, and it carries a not-so-subtle message: These tariffs weren’t our idea.
From bathroom-fixture makers to toy shops, companies are starting to tack tariff surcharges onto invoices as a separate line item. Some are a $5 flat fee, while others represent as much as 40% of the subtotal. The tactic is a way to pass on at least some tariff costs to consumers—especially on Chinese-made goods, with levies totaling 145% since January—while passing the buck to President Trump.
“We think transparency is the way to go here, and I am giving Trump full credit for his decision to add this tariff to all American consumers,” said Ryan Babenzien, chief executive of Jolie, which sells high-end filtered shower heads. He plans to add a “Trump Liberation Tariff” to online orders in the coming weeks. Just how much, he said, depends on how the trade war develops and on Jolie’s tariff-cost calculations.

Excellent. I hope this trend catches on. Taxes should be as transparent and visible as possible.

Americans need not worry as they apparently got a large income tax break!

What process node?
We’ve known for months they were planning to build Blackwell in Arizona. The advanced process nodes were still going to be in Taiwan until 2030 (think 2nn)
The level of investment I believe is much higher than the original declaration and the idea of made in America is and always will be a legacy of MAGA.
