Trump knows the stock market will fall when he announces tariffs. He knows that it will go back up when he backs off on tariffs.

His buddies are likely heavily investing in the stock market when they know this is going to happen.

He’s done this before. I wish someone would look into what goes on behind the scenes.

I hope Canada does not have any "carve outs". Don't stop until he stops completely. Proud of Canada and Mexico!

My understanding is that neither Canada nor Mexico will budge. Let's hope that's the case.

I was not going listen to his lie after lie after lie. If I wanted to do that, I'd tune in to Fox News.

99 minutes? Glad I read a book instead of watching.

I think the question -- that no one seems to be answering -- is what should the Democratic leadership do? This is part of the problem of the Democrats, there is always a lot of criticism about what not to do but very little on what to do. And frankly, I am pretty sick of James Carville. He is like a dinosaur. What about young people

You are so right in your comment. Where are the young leaders like AOC. The leadership is so lacking in the Democratic Party.

We all need to hit the streets.

As The Who wailed, lo, these many years:

"We'll be fighting in the streets

With our children at our feet

And the morals that they worship will be gone

And the men who spurred us on

Sit in judgment of all wrong

They decide and the shot gun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution

Take a bow for the new revolution

Smile and grin at the change all around

Pick up my guitar and play

Just like yesterday

Then I'll get on my knees and pray

We don't get fooled again"

1971

The Democrats need to be a united front. The so-called centrist types need to get over themselves, bite the hand that feeds them and get on the progressive bandwagon with Bernie Sanders. These old and older neo-liberal types need to take many a lesson from AOC, one of the main ones being to NOT take money from the obscenely wealthy.

They must take this opportunity to hold town halls in red states and deep red counties. Allow the people to air their grievances and use that time in letting them know what you as the governmental minority can and cannot do and plainly make it clear you are not only listening but make them feel heard....make all of use feel heard. Talk about what you all will do if democrats take back part or all of the branches...this is of course hoping against odds that we'll have honest and fair elections going forward.

The Democrats need new leadership. I am saying this as Gen X. They will continue to make the same mistakes and lose elections until they replace the old guard and modernize.

There was nothing wrong with Biden or Kamala-Walz. Dump had 77 million votes. Kamala-Walz had 45million. 90 million registered voters did not vote. People who voted against Kamala-Walz because of Palestinian and other issues was petty. Ask them how they like what Trump wants to do now. How about inflation and the markets, lol.Democrats did nothing wrong. Those who voted for Trump you will reap what you sow.

The U.S. House of Representatives holds a narrow Republican majority, with 219 Republicans to 213 Democrats, and three seats are currently vacant. These vacancies—two in Florida and one in New York—present pivotal opportunities that could potentially shift the balance of power in the House.

I have to remind you that MAGAs are all set to steal the next election through their SAVE ACT, getting minorities off the rolls, throwing out paper ballots, and intimidation at the polls--in other words, they will literally do anything they can to stop Democrats from winning another election. We need to stop being so nice.

Biden was older but he was not insane and demented like Trump is.

The sudden announcement of "exemptions" in the tariffs is just more evidence of the incompetence & lack of foresight in this odious regime.

He does things that sound great in his head and captures attention, but doesn't care about the consequences of his actions.

His MAGAs have no idea that these cuts will affect them as well as Democrats. They still don't know that Trump is and will continue to screw them royally. Musk has called these people parasites as he gets billions in tax breaks from these so-called "parasites." What a sick society we have. Instead of making us great again, they're absolutely destroying us.

Jim, I loved the interviews. April is golden. Please have her back as often as you can. I think that the Democrats need an influx of younger Representatives and Senators. The older ones can mentor them, but we need some people representing us who have enough energy to really take on this MAGA crowd. There are no real Republicans left. All that are left are pure MAGA or cowards.
