JEFF CHILDERS IS A MUST YET AGAIN THIS MORNING

“Think about it. No U.S. president has ever simultaneously negotiated with the entire planet over everything — not just trade, but security guarantees, foreign aid, market access, immigration enforcement, energy deals, pharmaceutical policy, and so on— and done it openly, using tariffs as the primary pressure mechanism, rather than through military force, strings on IMF loan, CIA black ops, soft power, or covert destabilization.”

Those tools are too slow and clumsy for Donald Trump.

Good morning, C&C, it’s Wednesday! These days, life is moving very fast. You’ll miss it if you don’t stop occasionally and appreciate what’s happening. I planned to take a day off from tariff reporting to catch up on the other breaking stories. But in various comments, tweets, and announcements yesterday, President Trump confirmed parts of what is becoming undeniably the most historic and significant political and economic earthquake since the Civil War. Or possibly since ever. Some are already labeling it the “Fourth Turning” but it could be even bigger than that. Useless corporate media is, as always, missing the boat. Just wait till you see the drops merging together like mercury. But first, a little light-hearted news about Kennedy’s reservational refugees.
