I think they'll just ignore it all the harder.
Until they believe the lies that tariffs are paid by foreign governments.... I think it is a good practice of shops to show them the price of the goods and then tariffs tax separated. Only then they will realize they are the ones paying it.

Another quarter of contraction, and it will be an actual recession.
Let us already name it the Obama-Biden_Harris recession.
So we can get used to the name.

GDP of the United States:
Q4: 2.4%
Q1: -0.3%

...economic genius.

With the price of eggs and gas reverse dropping, you can expect the economy to reverse rise.

Promises kept! Day one baby!

...a bridge too far for Ann Coulter.

"Trump held a televised two-hour Cabinet meeting today, at which administration officials sat behind red MAGA hats and praised him so extravagantly that right-wing commentator Ann Coulter posted: “Would it be possible to have a cabinet meeting without the Kim Jong il–style tributes?” He blamed Biden for the contracting economy and told reporters that “you could even say” that any downturn in the second quarter is Biden’s fault, too. The White House put out an official statement blaming former president Joe Biden for today’s report of the shrinking GDP and saying the country’s underlying economic numbers remain strong."

[...she got that right....no one has ever, ever, ever seen a president commit economic suicide. ]

President-elect Trump's agenda poses underappreciated risks to the US economic outlook. Two of Trump's core campaign promises will be particularly detrimental.

Texas has it covered: litter box bills.
I know its May Fools Day, but I think this is real.

Both Gov. Greg Abbott and House Speaker Dustin Burrows have backed the “Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education (F.U.R.R.I.E.S) Act,” which would prohibit any “non-human behavior” by a student, including wearing animal ears or barking, meowing or hissing.

We certainly don't want kids dressed up as Snoopy or Bugs Bunny! Thanks to the Great State of Texas for Saving Our Children! We also need to ban Halloween costumes, obviously.

Trump has hired a bunch of sycophants, but Pam Bondi might be the most aggressively sycophantic of the lot that I've seen.

I'm still puzzled as to what about that whole environment appeals to any of them (aside from Trump, obviously).
