Tariffs – The Politicus

The previous guy and his unsteamed pants, 'wasting away again in Mar-a-Lagoville'

More gaslight: Trump’s speech Saturday in North Carolina was one being delivered by the person who incited an act of terrorism designed to overturn the 2020 election. Lapsing into irrelevance, Trump says the same lies: “The 2020 election was definitely the most corrupt election in our history,” Trump claims after...

Will Trump go down as the worst President ever? (He has some sadly strong competition)

Trump plays the trade war like it's 1812

Trump is losing his trade war and what’s worse is that he’s clueless about the reason for the losing. The prevailing truth is that stupidity has given way to irrationality. “The truth, however, is that there has seldom been clearer proof that Trump is in fact the world’s worst negotiator....

Florida Man spews more lies in Mississippi speech – “I'm an honest person anyway”

Weird that the GOP defense could wind up: “I did it, so what – get over it” Idiotic that Individual-1 is trying with the help of his GOP buddies, to make impeachment into reality-TV kayfabe. No amount of extra campaign money funneled to 2020 vulnerable GOP senators can make them less vulnerable to...

Fortune Cookie economics: Peter Navarro's alter ego is no hand grenade

Like David Brooks and Thomas Friedman, conservatives use (non-) fictional everymen in their writing. WH adviser Peter Navarro is no different: his is the thinly disguised Ron Vara, no different than David Dennison or John Barron.

How Trump's phony Mexico trade deal duped the press

Donald Trump lies about everything. So why do newsrooms still assume he's telling the truth, especially when he unveils grand initiatives? On Friday, Trump claimed he had reached a landmark last-minute immigration deal with Mexico, which meant he no longer had to impose the tariffs he had been threatening, part...
