Nobody’s talking about gas.. I just filled up at $2.80 per gallon.
5 bucks a gallon for Premium with cash. 5.25 with credit. But our gas is really a gas. So clean since we tax the ugly bits out of it.

My new main squeeze to get around the town. Yes, that is a battery that resides under my ass. There's another smaller one inside the Wallke. I just mounted the rear rack so that I can Costco without my guzzlers.

And then you have Secretary Nutlick... does he know how tariffs work? I tried finding the clip in context to see if there was more detail but I can't find it.

At this point I'd love a powerpoint presentation to explain how this is all going to make America great again. Not even sarcastic... I am genuinely confused. If this is about protecting domestic production until it can replace the imports, the Trump/Nutlick team would be wise to read this summary (it's not political, btw...) especially Section II: https://www.reddit.com/r/Economics/wiki/faq_protectionism_and_development/#wiki_section_ii.3A_an_overview_of_the_infant_industry_argument

Pre-inaugeration
“Everyone is calling it the — I don’t want to say this, it’s too braggadocious, but we’ll say it anyway — the Trump effect." Trump said at a rally with supporters. “Since the election, the stock market has surged, and small-business optimism has soared a record 41 points to a 39-year high. Bitcoin has shattered one record high after another.”Post Inaugeration
“I was very proud to have handed over the country when the stock market was higher than it was, previous to the pandemic coming in,” he said in a Fox News interview Feb. 9. “It was an amazing achievement.”“The stock market is going to be great,” he told the crowd at an investor conference Feb. 19.
Now
“You can’t really watch the stock market,” Trump said in an interview that aired Sunday on Fox News. “If you look at China, they have a 100-year perspective. We have a quarter. We go by quarters.” -

> “You can’t really watch the stock market,” Trump said in an interview that aired Sunday on Fox News. “If you look at China, they have a 100-year perspective. We have a quarter. We go by quarters.”I'm not really sensing a plan with these tariffs that will pan out within Maga's timeline, which isn't quarters, but which certainly is 2 years or 4 years at most.

"Tariffs are a tax hike on foreign countries. Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people." Either I totally am wrong (possible) or I think the white house truly has NO idea what a tariff is and who pays it. WTFFFFFFFF
Of course she snips at the AP at the end of it.

Press secretary has to be one of the worst jobs I would not want.

a good summary.
For those who do not follow economics, here's basically what happened:
Leavitt: 2+2=Purple.
AP Reporter: I have a calculator and 2+2=4.
Leavitt: How DARE you insult my math skills!
Conservative Media: White House DESTROYS disrespectful and un-American AP reporter.
