The maelstrom of the first few weeks of Donald Trump's second presidency doesn't show any signs of winding down. Each day brings another atrocity, whether it's randomly firing massive numbers of workers, purging the Department of Justice and the Pentagon, slashing the FAA and the National Weather Service, rolling back civil rights regulations, eviscerating the scientific research infrastructure of the country or destroying our health and safety organizations. The entire nation is reeling from the wrecking ball Elon Musk has taken to the federal government. Meanwhile, Trump himself is busily tearing up the global order and working hard to blow up the economy with his daft misunderstanding of how things actually work.
A case in point is his continued insistence that a country's businesses and consumers do not pay for tariffs.
