“Foreign goods may get a little more expensive. But American goods are going to get cheaper." That's a blatant lie by Commerce Secretary Lutnick. ALL affected goods will become more expensive in a tariff regime, irrespective of their origin. And he knows it, it's economics 101. How can these lies just go completely unchallenged in the reporting?

Only things that affect him personally matter to Trump. People really need to get this fact into their heads. He won't care if the US or the world burns, as long as he can have a good time golfing at Mar a Lago.
Given Musk's latest remarks, they need to implement an alternative yesterday. I fully expect Starlink to be cut on Monday.
OK, so this is where things are now. Wow.
Is this exchange real? Surely this can't be, right?
Das ist wirklich irre, ich muss mich damit unbedingt mal näher auseinandersetzen.
Just for anyone who still holds out hope: NATO as we have known it is over. The US won't come to the defense of the other members if they are attacked. It's time to move on.
I strongly disagree. They are actually very dumb and there is no grand strategy at play here. While everyone tries to understand the sense behind the erratic decisions, there really is not much to understand at all. It's as simple as "we don't want to spend money on European defense anymore", so all activities related to that are stopped, without any regard to the consequences.
I hate to break it to you, but people in the US are probably just weeks away from being brutalized and thrown into jail at the behest of the Trump administration for any or no reason whatsoever. Things are moving much faster than anyone would have thought possible and violence, real physical violence is an unavoidable property of any fascist regime.
Not supported by my banks yet, but here's hoping.
One subreddit I am actually missing is /r/combatfootage, which was just clips like these.
