Economic growth was *much slower* than expected in the final three months of 2025 while *core inflation rose* to start 2026

This is complete BS. They're able to COLLECT tariffs just fine on every little always-changing Trump whim. But somehow it's a HUUUUUGE burden to refund that money back.
Get outta here!

Another round of disastrous #polling for the #TangerineTyrant.
59% feel his return to office a failure, only 39% approve of his job as #POTUS.
More than half of Americans (55%) also believe Trump’s policies have “worsened” the #economy, while 62% disapprove of the #TrumpTariffs.
Voters disapprove of his handling of EVERY major issue: #HealthCare (63% disapprove), #Immigration (58% disapprove), and #ForeignAffairs (60% disapprove).

As an analyst at Hudson Bay Capital, Stephen Miran authored the blueprint for the tariff strategy the Trump administration is now using:
Tariffs provide revenue, and if offset by currency adjustments, present minimal inflationary or otherwise adverse side effects, consistent with the experience in 2018-2019. While currency offset can inhibit adjustments to trade flows, it suggests that tariffs are ultimately financed by the tariffed nation, whose real purchasing power and wealth decline, and that the revenue raised improves burden sharing for reserve asset provision. Tariffs will likely be implemented in a manner deeply intertwined with national security concerns, and I discuss a variety of possible implementation schemes. I also discuss optimal tariff rates in the context of the rest of the U.S. taxation system.(emphasis mine)
Miran became the chair of the Council of Economic Advisors, appointed by Trump, in March 2025. He seems to be a conservative think tank creature too.
