That's a net IMPROVEMENT of 6% since October. WTF?!?!?

It's really only three points of movement. 3% of people going from poor to good produces six on net.

And that's well within the margin of error of the poll. Not to mention that polls can be inaccurate outside of their margin as well.

I'd say the big takeaway here is that the net approval remains about 30 percent and the disapproval more than twice that.

There's nowhere else for the money to go. We are so freaking lucky all of this is happening at a time when China's economy is massively threatened by their demographic crisis. Otherwise, they would be absolutely kicking our asses right now. The US market is not a particularly rational place to park money, but it's still better than pretty much any alternative.

US tariffs are paid almost entirely by Americans, a German study finds

US tariffs under Donald Trump have been paid almost entirely by Americans, with foreign exporters paying for only 4%, a German study found.

Surprising no one with a brain, American importers and consumers are bearing 96% of tariff costs.

Our resident MAGAs - to their great credit! - only support SOME of the tariffs, see?

They support the 4% that the other countries pay, so you cannot call them “HYPOCRITES!!!!1111111” for suddenly supporting tariffs (i.e. higher taxes) for the first times in their lives (and only because their orange god created them).

In fact, WE are the hypocrites because, you know, “If a Democrat proposed industry-destroying tariffs, you guys would support them!!!!11111111”

The US Constitution calls tariffs collection "duties" or taxes!

The American Revolution was triggered by King George raising duties on goods delivered to America.

Per the Constitution and even SCrOTUS only Congress can impose tariffs/duties.

Is the Senate asleep? (yes)
