Whiplash Wednesday: Trump's Tariff Tantrums Send Markets on a Ride Wilder Than His Golf Cart
President Trump's latest tariff maneuvers – pausing some while hiking others – sent Wall Street on a dizzying rollercoaster this week, showcasing the chaos masquerading as "strategy." After a historic surge on Wednesday, markets retreated Thursday as the sheer incoherence of the policy sank in. This post dissects the absurdity, debunks the "4D chess" myth peddled by supporters blind to economic reality, and explores the unsettling possibility that this manufactured volatility serves a more cynical, grift-driven purpose. It's not leadership; it's Jenga played with dynamite.

Trump's Penguin Tax: Because Apparently, Everything is Negotiable (Even Reality)
In a move that defies logic and borders on the surreal, the Trump administration has reportedly implemented a new tariff on goods and services linked to Antarctic wildlife conservation, leading many to dub it the "penguin tax." This latest policy raises serious questions about the administration's grasp on reality and the impact of such arbitrary decisions on American consumers and international relations.

Trump's Tariff Tantrum Targets...Toilets? (No, Wait, It's Worse)

Trump's Second Term: Court Orders? More Like Court Suggestions, Apparently.

Trump's Anti-Science Legacy Claims Its First Victim: Measles Death in Texas
The first measles death in Texas in decades isn't just a tragedy, it's a direct result of the anti-vaccine propaganda that flourished during the Trump era. With one of the chief architects of that misinformation now running our health department, it's clear that science has taken a backseat to conspiracy theories. This is what happens when we let political posturing trump public health.

Trump's America: Standing with Dictators, Abandoning Allies
"Well, folks, it seems the 'America First' agenda has taken a rather... interesting turn. If by 'America First,' we mean 'America first in cozying up to the world's most notorious dictators,' then mission accomplished! In a move that can only be described as a slap in the face to our allies and a warm, slobbery kiss to autocracy, the United States has just voted against a United Nations resolution condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Let that sink in. On the solemn third anniversary of Russia's brutal and unprovoked aggression, while 93 nations stood firm in demanding accountability, we chose to stand with Russia, North Korea, and Sudan."
