Without being like crazy political or anything - but doesn't the Congress and Senate have to vote on all the Tariffs ?

In office 90 days and totally wrecked the stock market and who knows what else?

@Seashell

Interesting how, getting "screwed over," equals a 28 trillion dollar economy, with an equally impressive, " below 4% unemployment.

@Seashell I get that, and I do agree - but I'm also just sort of wondering, isn't there like a process in place where it's discussed and voted on? Seems weird how he's doing all these things unilaterally....especially since we can't really build factories to make the crap we are buying from these other countries anyway....

Easy example....the Americans that work at Car Dealerships....with slower sales, they will be laid off and many will make less money....how is this good?

@calicuz So you're ok with a massive tariff imbalance?.. i guess you're mad a Elon too for exposing corrupt government spending?

@Seashell I think Elon sort of embarrassed himself many were rehired and Elon's Fired !!!

Learn how to code 🙂

@Seashell If they knew how to code they would have done that already. Maybe they can work in a factory that hasn't been built yet...but what will they do until then? Again...I get the reason, but the implementation is a mess and as a result, it looks to me that many people and their families will suffer, not because they are doing a bad job, but because they are in the wrong job.

@calicuz Yes, all that plus Scientific and Medical Research - which is now being hamstrung by withholding funds from prominent universities.

Yes, all the more evidence that they are clueless.

@fun4us2b Clearly, you do not pay attention to anything but CNN. If you listen only to propaganda, why bother coming here to complain?
Trump and Musk both said there would be some mistakes made and some hire backs as they sorted through the massive mess of our government.

@TexChik Clinton balanced the budget and virtually eliminated the deficit (I did not vote for him) but Clinton also did not alienate all of our allies and unleash massive wealth destruction against our own country.
