It's so hard to see the bad people win.

I just hope that we're still in the second act of the movie, followed by a third act in which the Ewoks defeat the stormtroopers, and Darth Vader realizes he's made some mistakes and throws the Emperor off the edge of something really high up.

Last week I paid my first tariff!

My kids bought me a personalized birthday gift for around $0. They didn't realize it came from another country. But when the UPS man came by to deliver it, he sheepishly asked me for $39.60, for the tariff.

Just doing my part to make Trump feel like a big man.

Yes, Nick Adams, the right-wing pro-Trump Twitter troll who, among other things, posts fantasies with clearly homoerotic endings.

In many countries, May 1 is a national holiday to celebrate labor.

This year, over here, it's National Day of Prayer. Seems appropriate.

Read the Full Transcript of Trump’s ‘100 Days’ Interview President Trump discussed his trade war and the economy, immigration, presidential power, and more

I think he's come to genuinely believe this view of how the world works,even though it's simplified, fictional, and also wrong.

His brain is now Reagan-like.

Mike Lee: "Trump could go down as the most pro-trade, pro-growth president in modern U.S. history if he uses this moment as an opportunity to reduce trade barriers."

Is there a word for a grovel/flatter/warning combo?
