    the US economy has essentially added no jobs since last April, when Trump announced his slate of tariffs.
    Almost every major sector of the economy has been shedding jobs. Even healthcare, the one bright spot
    had a weak February, though that is attributed to strike activity

    Trump on rising gas prices during Iran operation: 'If they rise, they rise'


    "I don't have any concern about it," ‌the 79-yr old convicted felon said.

    The comments mark a shift in tone for the dotard, who touted a drop in gas prices
    • in his State of the Union address last month and
    • at a Texas rally focused on energy that took place just before the U.S. launched its air strikes on Sat.
    Global oil prices have jumped 16% since the war started on Saturday, as the spreading conflict disrupted Middle East ‌supplies.

    Maybe pissing off Canada wasn't such a bright idea. Seems Carney is putting together a trade coalition of EU and Pacific countries that will not be dependent on the US or China.

    This is from a Canadian, so take that into account. Still, there's little doubt that walking away from allies has done anything but weaken the US for now and well into the future. We are not too big to fail.
