When did President Trump’s hair go white? #whitehair #tarrifs
#Trump and #Musk and AI, oh my?
From my favorite historian pundit, Z:
… no serious economist is going to endorse [Trump's] approach to tariffs. No unserious one, either, probably. So, where did the White House come up with this formula? Well, if you put the phrase "balance bilateral trade deficits" into AI engines, the administration's approach (or some close approximation) is what you get. That is the case with ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Claude. If you put the phrase into Grok, you get the EXACT formula the White House used. In other news, Grok is the AI platform owned by... Elon Musk.
Guess you don't need the terminator to destroy the world. Simple AI is enough.
Scroll down to "Fuzzy Math" at this link, but the whole 4,000 word article will clear up the whole muddy mess.
The next US election will be won with food stamps.

@kims I'm reading John Kenneth Galbraith's The Great Crash, 1929 right now. It's so timely, insightful, and Galbraith writes with a sly humor and wisdom that is really engaging.

So many parallels with now.
Intelligent people are unlikely to fall for such nonsense.
@GreenFire and we get this "Captain of Industry" 'til 2028 thanks to a third party washer. Farmers "may" see a sideloaded reprieve. How about not effing things up like a noodle head in the first place? Just pretend COVID never happened and everything can just go back to business as usual with a snap of your fingers. Big picture thinker there, that one. I'm surprised he even goes on camera with Amna, he looks like he wants to rip out her eyes.
The whole liberal media attack on #Trump’s #tarrifs is incredibly tone deaf. He’s not (and never was) an idiot. The goal is to bring manufacturing back to the US to forestall the rise of #China.
Will it hurt people a lot and cause a recession? Probably. People are so done with neoliberalism that they are willing to take the hit. There’s a reason the unions want it.
Is it a bad idea to barrel into a second Cold War? Yes, absolutely. But America doesn’t want to share hegemony.
Here's a statement by the folks at Coyote & Crow on how the #tarrifs will affect their business. In short, they are skeptical they can continue. From @coyoteandcrow.bsky.social
After evicting a mysterious old woman, Donald Trump found himself cursed to forever live out his own tweets.
The guy who told you hydroxychloroquine cured covid is now promoting tariffs as an economic cure.
