This is a good explanation of tariffs by a UCLA law professor of how Trump intends to fool the people by supplanting taxes on the rich, with tariff/taxes on the middle class. I wonder if the MAGA folks understand this? If so, is this what they voted for? She makes the point:" Trump should just say:" I want to increase taxes on the middle class, so I can cut them on the rich. Good explanation of tariffs.

And the LIAR "no war' CONVICTED FELON trump orders more WAR Trump says he ordered airstrikes on Islamic State in Somalia By Idrees Ali, Phil Stewart and Jasper Ward February 1, 202511:21 AM MSTUpdated 30 min ago WASHINGTON, Feb 1 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said he ordered military airstrikes on Saturday targeting a senior Islamic State attack planner and others from the organization in Somalia. "These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. "The strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians." Saturday's strikes were carried out in the Golis Mountains, said Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who added that an initial assessment indicated multiple operatives were killed. He said no civilians were harmed. Reuters could not independently verify those details. An official in the Somali president's office, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the strikes and said Somalia's government welcomed the move. "Somalia cannot be a safe haven for terrorists," said the official, adding that the impact of the strikes was still being assessed. Hegseth said the strikes degrade Islamic State's ability "to plot and conduct terrorist attacks" threatening the U.S., its partners and innocent civilians. "(It) sends a clear signal that the United States always stands ready to find and eliminate terrorists who threaten the United States and our allies, even as we conduct robust border-protection and many other operations under President Trump’s leadership," he said in a statement. The United States has periodically carried out airstrikes in Somalia for years, under Republican and Democratic administrations. A strike, which also targeted Islamic State militants, was carried out by the U.S. in coordination with Somalia last year. It killed three members of the group, the U.S. military said.
