Trump is sending thousands of federal agents to storm empty LA parks, pure political theater to stoke fear in cities that oppose him. A waste of taxpayer money and a deeply disturbing scene in any functioning democracy.

There’s plenty of competition from this administration alone, but sending letters to random countries announcing new tariffs—because you failed to make a single trade deal—has to be one of the weakest and most embarrassing moments yet.

The President has just tweeted another 7 trade "letters." We have details on 14 countries, and it's weirder than I imagined. The new tariffs are the old "Liberation Day" numbers +/- a few percentage points. If these were a bad idea 90 days ago, why are they a good idea now?
