It’s almost getting comical at this point.

Trump literally said there would be “no exemptions” to his reciprocal tariffs (see video) and MAGA cheered.

“No, with reciprocal [tariffs] you don’t need to,” he said.

Now, suddenly he’s backtracking again and adding a bunch of exemptions to his reciprocal tariffs. And MAGA is cheering yet again.

It’s almost as if he has no idea what he’s doing and MAGA doesn’t stand for anything except whatever Trump says and does.

BREAKING: Trump caves again on Tariffs:

Smartphones, computers, chips as well as other electronic devices and components, including semiconductors, solar cells, flat panel TV displays, flash drives, memory cards and solid-state drives are now EXEMPT from Tariffs.

So thanks to Trump China now has more tariffs against us than we have against them.

"ART OF THE DEAL" by a$$.

For the record I'm not against these exemption, but this is how a Kindergartener negotiates.

We will tariff China on everything but the 99% of what we import!

They really love this guy.

[Not Jerome Powell @alifarhat79]

Who did this?

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

He Deports innocent U.S. residents, then turns around and says undocumented immigrants can stay and work in hotels and farms.

He fires a bunch of people in government, then begs some to come back.

He slaps tariffs on everyone, then suddenly “pauses” a bunch.

And people are still applauding this guy like he’s got some grand strategy?
I swear, it’s like I’m the only one not guzzling the crazy juice.

Coach Narduzzi and @Pitt_FB sent over one of the craziest boxes we've ever gotten I'm truly speechless!

What a historic football program with some incredible alumni... brings me back to my time coaching the receivers back in the Steel City!

Thank you Panthers! #H2P

Obama: Some think I remember that economy when he first came in being pretty good. Yeah, it was pretty good, because it was my economy. It wasn't something he did. I spent eight years cleaning up the mess that the Republicans had left me

Jay Bilas on SportsCenter just now picks Pitt as the bubble team that should be in:

“Pittsburgh’s a tournament team. There’s no question in my mind. You’ve got guards like Bub Carrington and you’ve got a shooter like Blake Hinson. They make 9 threes a game.”
