Trump:

Many don't know, in Paris, France, the Eiffel Tower, 1889, it was built. It was supposed to be taken down immediately after the World's Fair.

And then they said, "You know, we sort of like it. Let's leave it up a little bit longer." And then they said, "Let's leave it up longer and longer and longer." Well, they never took it down.

And, you know, we're building something in front of the White House that's quite attractive to a lot of people. It's gonna have the big UFC fight on June 14th.

And I'm looking at it, and maybe we'll never, ever take it down.

@USAmbCanada You’re looking for vassal states. Good luck.

Our national suicide. We are killing our country because we are so angry and dumb, and proud to be both. We don’t make it back from this if we keep digging this hole.

In our latest @stlouisfed blog post, we document using data from Global Trade Alert, how export controls, licensing requirements, and other targeted trade measures have expanded sharply since 2019, especially in strategic and high-technology sectors.

Cabinet meeting or hostage video?

I’m still trying to figure out how anyone in that room says these things with a straight face. Not a single ounce of dignity left at that table.
