[Official] US announces new tariffs on most countries

I thought it had peaked with trump doing a poor impression of basil fawlty with the german chancellor, but that was just the warm up.
Edit - fully agree about (re)funding the tax cuts. Trump was always going to borrow more money/bump up the deficit. Doge was never going to deliver the sums talked about and tariffs seemed to be a way to (try to) sell his numbers to the republicans. They are forecast to lower us and global growth, reduce us exports as happened with china in the first term, have a limited effect on bringing manufacturing jobs back to the us, ... It probably goes without saying that the main beneficiary has been trump with the new golf courses, hotels being offered to be built in far away places, and of course the tax cuts (for the well off) which was the driver of this stuff in the first place.

It is not a good look and it would be foolish for Trump/Republicans to fight Musk. Trump has 3.5 years left in the WH, but Musk potentially has decades to destroy the Trump family.
Although he has denied it, i think the EV mandate is probably Musk’s pain point. He overreacts when his interests are not protected.
If Trump is a dodgy Epstein-ally as claimed by Musk, it must be investigated. We must protect women at all costs.

"Musk overreacts when his interests are not protected."
Like Trump, Musk overreacts when people disagree with him.
"If Trump is a dodgy Epstein-ally"
"If"? 🤣

There is no clear evidence that President Trump messed with underaged persons. Being in the proximity of Epstein does not mean that he engaged in depraved past-time activities.

DOGE was never about saving government money. It was always a political purge and removing oversight.

I wonder if the MAGA Republicans will continue to retweet Musk's posts, or suddenly decide he isn't the genius saviour they claimed he was? 🤔

I did not accuse Trump of messing with underaged persons. But as you rightly point out, lack of clear evidence for something doesn't mean it didn't happen.
And just because a court ruled that Trump committed sexual assault, and has expressed interest in his own daughter, doesn't mean he is therefore capable of other sexual no-nos. Even Trump might have limits.

As my original post instantly disappeared. A shorter version:
It is hilarious to see Trump and Musk having this fallout.
And maybe, just maybe, Trump handing Musk the keys to the federal computers before their fallout was not a very smart move.

Trump went very quiet yesterday, it was almost as though susan wiles had taken away his socials because he was being a bad boy.

Musk and Trump fighting isn't really about the Big Beautiful Bill. Everyone knew Republicans would borrow trillions to fund their tax cuts. It happened during Trump's first presidency. It was clear in Republican policy circles in the run up to the election that it would happen again. Despite this, Musk was happy to bankroll Trump.
It is just two toddlers with massive but fragile egos falling out.
Now we have Trump stating Musk should lose his federal contracts.
Meanwhile Musk, after being given unprecedent access to government information, is insinuating Trump is a child sex offender.

There isn't anything depraved about it.
Men will be men.
