RFK Jr. wants to cut Meals on Wheels to elderly and disabled persons. Another example of this administration’s unthinking cruelty. Pass it on, and possibly they will be embarrassed into continuing the program.
BREAKING: The unanswered question about the Trump trade-tariff plan is why--why did he do it first? Why didn't he wait until the economy is running at 3 per GDP; or DOGE began chipping away at the deficit? Why did he do something so unsettling so fast, risking a financial crisis, if he doesnt thread the needle just right? The MSM spin, the rationale from the Wall Street elite is that Trump doesn't know what he's doing, and is being both pressured and suckered by ideologues in the White House who think they can recreate a manufacturing economy circa 1960.
Im telling you that common theme is false. Ive covered Trump for decades. He's tough and smart. He has an acute understanding of the state of the economy. What is true: Trump is an ardent believer that the trade system is imbalanced, and he's got pretty good numbers to prove it. And it begins with China, which was given a free pass to dump goods on the world at low prices, manipulate its currency in the process, join trade organizations to enforce its mercantilism at the expense of the Industrial Midwest, which became deindustrialized, and now is in a deep state of decay, mired in near poverty and an opioid epidemic.
Some on the right believe these people are just lazy, they wont take jobs that are available. That's why so many Haitians descended upon Springfield Ohio. Sorry, thats a little too cute. The 20,000 Haitians that came to Springfield didn't all work at the same factory that claimed it couldnt find labor. So leave that aside Springfield for an immigration debate. The reality: Most of the jobs that replaced factories, quite simply, sucked. They depressed standards of living in these towns. Working at an Amazon warehouse isn't like working for a steel mill or a car assembly line with benefits etc.
Trump knows this and that's why, based on what Im hearing, he will likely press on even if it risks a financial crisis of some magnitude, which is a very real possibility. Already PE panic selling is taking place. Bonds are wobbly, stocks are going sidesways and down. A recession is pretty much being baked in as business recoil from the uncertainty. Adding to that uncertainty: Man top investors believe Treasury Secty Bessent wants to induce a recession to get interest rates down. Meanwhile, he wants to significantly depress the dollar to sell our exports. Trump believes rates are too high because in his mind inflation is falling (he cites the cost of eggs, gas prices are down). Yet Powell wont move. He will fire him at some point, and the markets will erupt.
Yes crazy shit, but Trump really does believe there is long-term gain for this short term pain, and he might be right. He believes for too long (we are talking 3 decades here), the pain was felt by Middle America while the coastal elites -- who have more in common with a Chinese investor than a factory worker from Ohio -- flourished with a rising stock market inflated by government and free trade.
Yes I keep thinking this could get ugly or maybe Ive just seen too many financial crisis in my career.
