Trump pauses reciprocal tariffs--something he said earlier in the week he wasn't considering. This is called a strategic retreat in the face of overwhelming evidence that we were on a disastrous course. https://t.co/oe06TFn6m7 via @NYTimes

Really smart, succinct analysis from @ProfGalloway on tariffs.

Prediction: Trump, in way over his skis and staring down the barrel of economic disaster, will quickly strike a series of mostly unremarkable, bilateral trade deals and declare them the greatest of all time.

As all hell breaks loose, @JohnAnzo dropped by w/his latest @WSJ polling and some wise words of caution for BOTH parties parties. (And @murphymike is out of the infirmary and in fine voice again!) @HacksOnTap are back! https://t.co/uf3ksiIFEG

You never know the backstory but Malone is an elite coach, who brought Denver a title just a couple of years ago. He'll have no problem finding a job but teh @nuggets will be hard-pressed to find as good a coach. https://t.co/4ywMUvpwlG

Trump never admits mistakes or defeat. He always claims victory. The question is whether this post--issued just as the markets opened--suggesting he and admin is in negotiations over tariffs with South Korea, foreshadows the pole he hopes to slide down. https://t.co/pecADeSlTG

Though, in fairness, one way to reduce prices is recession. We've seen that before in our history! Maybe THAT's the strategy!!🤔

This is the video that should be haunting the WH and Republicans up for re-election in 2026. And there is plenty of it because it is a pledge Trump repeated emphatically everywhere he went during the campaign.

Trump: “Starting on day one of my new administration, we will end inflation.” Now egg prices are up, gas prices are up, and he revoked an executive order to lower prescription drug prices. https://t.co/p0softRqJJ

The stock market crash is alarming. But markets Trump and his amen chorus in Congress should be most concerned about politically are the ones where people buy their groceries and other necessities. He got elected, first and foremost, to LOWER prices, not RAISE them!

RT @SpencerHakimian: Lose $10T of market capitalization to fix a $1T trade deficit. 8D chess. https://t.co/7VBG9ySR41

Government reform is necessary and desirable. But indiscrimate cuts in areas of health and safety are reckless and dangerous. The chickens WILL come home to roost, and it will be painful. Even tragic. https://t.co/T2Q01nCl85

Markets are tumbling. The world's on edge. But there is THIS!👇 https://t.co/R1wgpKKXFk

What is that thing Trump likes to say? "No one has ever seen anything like it."

(((Harry Enten))) @ForecasterEnten

"Uh oh... Trump's making history": he's the 1st president since the S&P 500 was created in 1957 to inherit a bull market & turn in a loss of at least 5% at this point in his presidency. This isn't like other early declines. Trump took a bull & is turning it into a bear. https://t.co/q0zcVASHam

Mourning the tragic loss of John Thornton, founder of the pioneering, not-for profit @TexasTribune @ & the American Journalism Project, to help incubate & support robust, independent local news orgs. Their vital mission will be his legacy. https://t.co/c4dkkiakLs via @NYTimes

Trump contradicts aides, talking points on purpose of global tariffs. #goatrodeo https://t.co/8jhMAPK3C3

Throughout his campaign, Trump pledged aggressive new tariffs. Promise kept. He all promised to bring down prices "quickly." That's a promise he emphatically will not.

Let's not deny it: globalization DID hasten the outmigration of manufacturing jobs, decimating many workers and communities in the nation's industrial belt. But will Trump's retro play lead to RE-industrialization? Or job LOSS & higher costs? https://t.co/NHNx1zul9y via @NYTimes
