    Trump 2.0's stupidiest actions so far, ill-conceived, have been the tariffs and the Iran war.

    The cost of Trump Tariffs, according to the Tax Foundation, they're not just a one-time hit
    • the average American household paid an extra $1,000 in 2025
    • they are expected to rise to $1,300 in 2026 if current policies remain in place.


    The Cost of Iran War
    • so far, $54 billion, which average out to be $374 per American

    Trump's immigration policy will allegedly cost us $5,600 per person for his 4 years in office, with damage continuing thereafter, from foregone economic growth. Link.

    Money is important, but it isn’t everything. There is a real cost to moral failure. That cost is incalculable, especially for our children.

    And moral bankruptcy can never solve moral problems.

    from another perspective, this Trump blunder has ushered in 2 new leaders (non-US) in the EV space, supplanting US-basedTesla

    Here is what I don't understand, SCOTUS said the tariffs were not legal, they're starting to pay some back, but the tariffs are still in effect?
