The article goes into some worse possibilities that I hadn’t considered, it’s worth reading beyond the headline.

Could you spare 90 seconds for a highlight?

Edit: it only took me about that long to read the article.. Just read IT!

Not sure my psyche can handle it atm but thanks for the heads up. It’s bookmarked.

of course he is.. and so is everyone else at the top of the administration.. along with probably more than a few repugnants in congress and other 'friends'.

The article itself doesn't provide many new insights IMHO except for this quote by Senator Chris Murphy that I found quite interesting:

You have to understand that everything that Donald Trump is doing is in service of him staying in power forever [...] That’s why he’s going law firm by law firm, university by university, trying to bully them into pledging loyalty to him. The tariffs are used to do the same thing to private industry. Why are the tariffs so widespread? So that every business in this country has to come to the White House and make an agreement with Trump, in which he gives them tariff relief in exchange for a pledge of political loyalty.

Is it even a question.

Its probably just a happy coincidence they are all taking advantage of.

Trump is a convicted felon criminal. OF COURSE HE IS

He could have extorted $50 billion out of the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2016.

Too cowardly to fight anyone his own size.
