Incredible the degree to which MAGA has become a wellness BS brand.

Trump’s tariffs have been a complete failure.
Excluding the pre-Liberation Day bounce where companies increased imports ahead of expected tariffs, last month registered the worst US trade deficit on record.

It's important to keep saying that ~everything he does is the worst offense in 🇺🇸 history demanding immediate impeachment & removal:
- Threatening conquest of our NATO allies
- Openly monetizing the presidency
- Impoundment/DOGE
- Murdering citizens on our streets & civilians on the high seas
- Etc.

You might get sick of hearing this but if he keeps doing it I'm gonna keep saying it: this is an unconstitutional impoundment, violating both Congress' Article I spending authority and the 1974 Impoundment Control act, and immediately impeachable.
