    Don’t worry. The lack of transparency will be countered by the long soup lines and riots at your local Goodwill.

    Steve Bannon, a bought and paid for tea pot. What all conservatives should aspire for?

    The latest jobs data amounts to a "bright red flare that the economy is being hurt by the tariff policy," Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's, told ABC News. "And that's before the tariffs are fully implemented."

    Trump's executive order late Thursday laid out rates to be applied against nearly 70 countries, ranging from 10% to 41% in what a Trump administration official hailed as the beginning of a "new system of trade."

    looking back at past statements from Trump about who he wants doing his books, the nominee will likely be a little Jewish guy wearing a yarmulke.

    It will be TPS data going forward, assuming that TPS stands for Trump Piece of Shit data.
