Trump Goes Insane And Threatens 200% Tariffs Against Europe
Donald Trump went completely insane on Thursday morning and threatened to levy tariffs of up to 200% against products coming into the United States from Europe. At this point it feels like Trump is actively trying to sabotage the US economy, as even Republican lawmakers are starting to warn that his trade war is ill-conceived and is causing irreparable harm. But Trump doesn't care and he still seems to believe that tariffs will solve every problem that he faces.
CNN managed to bust the spokesperson for the Office of Personnel Management, which is currently overseeing DOGE's activities, making fashion influencer videos from her government office while engaging in massive layoffs. The people that Trump has picked to run our government are not serious people, and they have absolutely no business making the decisions that they are allowed to make. This incident is just further proof of that.
Donald Trump thought that he was doing Elon Musk a favor by turning the White House lawn into a car dealership this week, but he actually made things so much worse for the world's richest man. The Model S Tesla that Trump "purchased" this week for nearly $100,000 already has 37 recall notices against it, and most of them are fairly significant. This whole stunt reminded people how Tesla is the most recalled vehicle brand in the country, and that's not helping Musk's stocks.
According to multiple new polls, American voters' faith in Donald Trump to handle the economy has tanked in the first two months of his administration, and a plurality of voters no longer believe that he's the man for the job. On top of that, a plurality also now says that the country is headed in the wrong direction. This is a dramatic reversal from where these polls stood less than two months ago, but Trump has managed to shake everyone's trust in a record amount of time.
