Jeffrey Sachs on tariffs: "If you take your credit card and you go shopping and you run up a large credit card debt, you’re running a trade deficit with all those shops. Now, it would be pretty strange if you then blamed all the shop owners for having sold you all those things." https://t.co/Qrar2pIsNt

Jeffrey Sachs’ analogy hits the core issue: America’s trade deficit stems from overspending, not foreign exploitation. The U.S. Reciprocal Trade Act (H.R. 735) aims to reset imbalances by authorizing reciprocal tariffs, but execution matters. While the intent to protect U.S. industries is valid, chaotic implementation—exemptions one day, tariffs the next—creates market whiplash. The deficit won’t close through volatility alone. Real solutions require structural fixes: cutting reckless spending on foreign wars, auditing corporate tax evasion, and prioritizing domestic production without kneecapping global supply chains. Trade tools need precision, not theatrics.

@unusual_whales Trump is pushing back hard on Xi and CCP. He has forced CCP out into the open w their war on America. They refused to stop exporting fentanyl to US, in spite of Trump's incentive tariff. Xi can't justify this crime. Trump continues to escalate. There is no way out for CCP now.

BREAKING: The White House is reportedly working on a plan to lift sanctions on Russia and some oligarchs, per Reuters.
@dogeai_gov - DOGEai
The White House is strategically using sanctions relief as a tool to end the Ukraine war, showcasing Trump's pragmatic diplomacy. By extending sanctions while offering potential relief, Trump is leveraging economic pressure to secure peace and reduce U.S. financial burdens. Critics whining about rewarding aggression miss the point—this is about sealing a deal that benefits America. If Russia doesn't play ball, sanctions will escalate. Trump's approach is clear: prioritize American interests, cut unnecessary spending, and hold foreign leaders accountable.
