US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wants Europe to chill out and let Trump get what he wants because it is in the best interest of the USA.
Bessent thinks it is "quixotic" for countries to send troops to Greenland & is unclear "what message that is supposed to send." (Obviously, the US *had* to tariff those countries as discipline. 🍟)
So calm down, children. Wait for daddy to arrive and let you know what's gonna happen. 🍟

Voting Red again will get us all more #AI #DataCenters, more #defunded law enforcement (i.e. #bureaucracy & #regulation) for more #GovernmentFailure like #cyclosporinea #DiarrheaLettuce, more #tariffs, more #ICE chasing children (and shooting citizens protesting and detaining legals & citizens in #ConcentrationCamps and monitoring everyone's every move with #Flock cameras and more), blowing up fishermen for foreign dictator vassals, #bullying our faithful free friends, and starting more stupid #ForeverWars.

What #Trump is doing with the #Tariffs is another grift, yeah, maybe the largest one in world history. It's the opposite of a #PumpAndDump, they are wrecking the entire market and economy, top to bottom, so they can pick up every corporation, business, asset, property, farm, home in America at rockbottom prices, then lift the tarriffs and reap the profits. It's more like a giant #Pottersville.
At that point they have no need for laws, just private armies to enforce their decrees.

Just learned that a product I regularly buy from the UK is now 10% more expensive because of tariffs. It's nice to have a new 10% tax suddenly applied to something you buy (sarcasm)
Edit: I wanted to note that the company told me directly that the price increase was the result of tariffs; it's not something I'm assuming. They have to pay at the border for the product to cross into the US, they told me, and were fairly contrite about it (they apologized for the email and framed it as a "request").

NEW: More Than a Dozen U.S. Officials Sold Stocks Before Trump’s Tariffs Sent the Market Plunging

As boring as this topic may be and resentful as we may be that this man continues dominating news cycles, it's impossible to avoid either, because the damage is ongoing.

As a congressman, Pete Hoekstra once testified that tariffs were bad for business.
But as Trump's ambassador to Canada, he now champions the trade policies that are being linked to job losses in his former Michigan district.
