Prediction: Trump has started like Mussolini but will end up like the My Pillow guy.

Trump's so incompetent that he'd miss when trying to off himself.

Trump is getting ready to CAVE on tariffs he imposed on China.

[QUOTE]WASHINGTON, April 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday signaled a potential end to the tit-for-tat tariff hikes between the U.S. and China that shocked markets, and that a deal over the fate of social media platform TikTok may have to wait.
"I don't want them to go higher because at a certain point you make it where people don't buy," Trump told reporters about tariffs at the White House./QUOTE]

[QUOTE]"So, I may not want to go higher or I may not want to even go up to that level. I may want to go to less because you know you want people to buy and, at a certain point, people aren't gonna buy."/QUOTE]

As usual a word salad but I get the distinct sense that he is getting cold feet.

In there, though the MAGA won't see it, is an admission that American consumers are the ones paying the tariffs, not China. Oh we all know that but Lyin' Leavitt, Felon's darling press secretary, did he best to assure us that China would be paying the tariffs and the tariffs would indeed be a tax break for Americans, putting more money in our pockets. Yeah, she said that.
Speaking of Karolyin', hackers had a little fun at her expense.

And now an appeals court has paused proceedings to hold the administration accountable for contempt.
Sickening what's happening, it really is morphing into a tin pot dictatorship.

The Courts have to rely on the Justice department for enforcement or the Congress to defund the Executive Branch. A flaw a big one.
