Today, the Trump administration’s reciprocal tariffs take effect on dozens of nations. His tactics reflect a distrust of central tenets that have guided U.S. trade policy for the past four decades. The President has identified persistently high U.S. trade deficits as a problem. Many economists say the solution involves solutions that tariffs won’t fix. #tariffs #trade#Trump

»Die Details sind: 600 Milliarden Dollar, die ich in alles investieren kann, was ich will, alles. Ich kann damit machen, was ich will«, sagte Trump.

Wow. University and its president support DEI. Trump admin investigates them. Faculty write a resolution in support of the president and DEI policies. Trump admin investigates those faculty too.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/us/justice-department-george-mason-faculty-senate-investigation.html

"In a letter sent on Friday, the Trump administration said it would seek drafts of the faculty resolution, all written communications among the Faculty Senate members who drafted the resolution, and all communications between those faculty members and the office of the university’s president…Free speech advocates quickly denounced the move as an attack on academic freedom."
