Pluralistic: Trump’s FTC opens the floodgates for tariff profiteering (21 Apr 2025) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow
@unusual_whales I would assume that's because there isn't one. Trump is a know nothing. He is too lazy and too stupid to understand US and global economics. He just likes to bully, because that's all he knows from "running" his two-bit-thug small family business into the ground. He is only wealthy now because he's corrupt and has used the power of the US to enrich himself. #USPol #Trump #Tariffs
