Rationalization. Lipstick on a pig. Trump policy is a salad of the ideas of the last person to talk to him, and his own "genius." Between the variety of last persons winning out in the never-ending struggle, and the quality of his genius, nothing sensible can possibly happen.

Really? From Faux News? Lip stick on a pig is putting it mildly.

As noted above by Chicks,
"U.S. stock futures dropped sharply on Sunday evening as markets continued to signal a sell-off in the wake of President Trump’s massive reciprocal tariffs on trading partners.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were down more than 1,700 points on Sunday evening at 6 p.m., pointing to what could be a disastrous day on Wall Street when markets open Monday morning at 9:30 a.m." From those hippies at 'The Hill'.

Black Monday is a'coming.

I often go and read the comments section on Faux to get a gauge on the misinformation flotsam in MAGA Land.

I do the same thing. The vibes within the cult are still strong.

Lawmakers may test Trump on tariffs this week as fears of a GOP election 'decimation' grow
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/lawma...120156954.html

The one and only thing Reupbes care about is being re-elected. They have zero principles, clearly.
