If you everything you can think to write makes you sound like a douche, chances are... (also I love ellipses)

[Scott Lemieux @LemieuxLGM]

Trump thinks that if you pay somebody $10 for a burrito than you have lost the $10, like it has been stolen from you. He's not pretending; this is literally the basis of his trade policy

[John Arnold @johnarnold]

A common political line is that America doesn't have a revenue problem; it has a spending problem. Maybe. But is there any viable pathway to materially cutting spending? I'll show there isn't. That leaves us with either a revenue problem or a debt/deficit problem. You choose.

@jennablan Funniest part is how his brand was always hard core deficit scold, debt crank, Treasury doomsayer, monetary catastrophist...until Trump, when the debt and deficit are at record levels with no sign of self correction in sight.

Imagine actually trying to tell him this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why stop there? If all trade is an economic loss, then you also shouldn't trade with other states. Or counties. Or towns. Or neighbors. Just grow all your own food, sew your own clothes, and build your own home, cars, and TVs. Think how rich this will make you! 🤪

China is putting scientists on public screens and treating them like national celebrities, we are so fucked

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

U.S. President Donald J. Trump has lambasted Congressional Democrat and their bases on their lacking support for operations against Iran, saying that “Radical Left Lunatics, Dumocrats, and Communists would rather have us LOSE the War in Iran, than have President Donald J. Trump WIN the War for America.”

[Hiroo Onoda @OnodaCapital]

I’m trying to envision the absolute meltdown some of you would have if a President Harris said something this stupid

[jbulltard @jbulltard1]

The funny thing with Donald is he seems to have no concept of the notion that rates were sub 4% till he started bombing Iran, look at a chart, literally rates are up bc of his decisions and all these rants are laughable

[Ivan the K™ @IvanTheK]

Who the hell does he think he's threatening here? 🤪

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

Trump personally denying federal disaster aid to blue states has become so routine the media barely mentions it, but rest assured, if a Democrat did this *once* it would be a weeks-long scandal. The double standard is really fucking infuriating.

@Nu_Ny0 @mark_dow "but mom they wanted me to vote for a woman so i had to vote for the idiot... its not my fault"

[Dow @mark_dow]

Just stop dude. Trump is most socialist president of our lifetime. He’s not free market. He’s not free speech. He’s not laissez-faire. He’s doing inside deals for himself and his cronies to the tune of billions at our expense.

He extorts business with tariff threats so they’ll contribute to his ballroom and his statues and his monuments to himself.

He intervenes and manipulates everything—even the government data he doesn’t agree with.

Manipulation, intervention, and cronyism is literally his reaction function and always has been.

You got played. Clean and simple. Just man up and own it.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

If I'm reading this correctly, the President is threatening the Fed with tariffs.

[BuccoCapital Bloke @buccocapital]

And some of you say women can’t be president because they’re too emotional. Dude is a mental midget

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

Until Democrats govern well on immigration, they won't be fully trusted on the issue. But they can't govern well if they buy into the right-wing Twitter view that Americans were mad about immigrants per se under Biden rather than about border chaos, specifically.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

The message from Trump admin to federal prosecutors is abundantly clear: your loyalty must be to the leader not to our constitution and laws. It’s the hallmark of a dictator.

[Claudia Sahm @Claudia_Sahm]

So, what chapter of the fiscal dominance book are we on now? Demands for lower rates, the threat of a trade embargo, calls for patriotism at the Fed?

[Dow @mark_dow]

If only there had been ppl online telling you Trump wasn't intellectually, morally or emotionally fit for the job and would irreparably damage our institutions, our alliances, and our financial credibility.
