Now comes the moment of truth. Will Trump obey the law?

To Trump, up is down, wrong is right, and black is white, or should be.

Oh, I get it now. When you lose you win. A loss is a profit. A tariff is not a tax. A lie is not a lie. Got it!

Trump says he "paused" his tarriffs because "people were getting yippie." Oh, not because Wallstreet was screaming in your ear?

Trump said world leaders were “kissing my ass” over his tariff chaos, so he paused most of them for 90 days. In other words, he was winning so he quit. Make sense? Of course not, because it’s total bullshit. The truth? Trump folded like a cheap deck of cards.

Breaking: Trump pauses most “reciprocal tariffs” because he doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing from one day to the next.

Trump said, “The United States is going to take off like a rocket ship.” Have we taken off yet?

The stock markets around the world are caving. Thank President Trump. Experts say his tariffs could trigger a “global recession.”
