"The sweeping package of tariffs unveiled by Donald Trump on Wednesday includes an exemption for the energy sector, which is a clear sign of the president’s fealty to his big oil donors over the American people, advocates say."

Am I right to guess that, when the figures become available, we will find that #trumptariffs have cost the whole world a great deal ... except for the #billionaires, who will somehow make even more #money out of it? 
Isnt this illustration saying a lot....
I like how on tromnews.com/illustrations/ you can see this world represented with illustrations rather than words. And they say a lot.
U.S. Voters: yo!
“US stocks cratered on Thursday as traders reacted to the suite of tariffs that promise to push recession odds higher and make Americans poorer.”

US stock markets see worst day since Covid pandemic after investors shaken by Trump tariffs
What chance the billionaire class are filling their boots with cheap stock on the expectation that Trump will back down on these tariffs like he has all the previous ones?

@AkaSci
do I have this right?
a #tradeDeficit is the amount we owe another country because we imported more value than we exported to them.
so it does nothing for the trade deficit. The #tariff tax money, paid by the american people, goes to trump cronies and #billionaires not to the countries that we owe.
this "tariff" idea is wrong on so many levels. and the pusillanimous representative wont even say a word because he will call them names.
#democracy is more than voting.
My 2 cents for the normie board & maybe the fascism-deniers in your life. I firmly believe that the billionaire's long-term plan is a technofeudalism & fascism is the tool they're using to get there.
The goal is to send us back to feudalism. Trump may not know that, but his handlers do.
Unfortunately, slavery is currently legal and constitutional if you've been convicted of a crime. For citizens and not just Venezuelan "gang members". Thanks 13th ammendment. 
As soon as you let what they have been putting in books and podcasts for years regarding #NetworkStates sink in, current events aren't nearly as confusing or surprising. The #NerdReich is how they plan to control people while they reduce the population to a more "efficient" level.
So as you see, the fascism and the feudalism are intertwined. It's all one fight. #PitchforksUp
I wonder how many #billionaires that bought into #Project2025 are having buyer’s remorse today?
In reality, xe isn't worth that much, anyway. The value goes down sharply if one ever tries to liquidate and spend it.
It took civilization thousands of years to build the global and broadly successful #economy that we enjoyed right up until about 4PM EDT today.
It took 
about 2.5 months to destroy it.
So congratulations #Republicans on bringing forth the largest (and perhaps most #regressive) #tax increase in the nation’s history. America’s #billionaires thank you for your support.
