Trump slapped tariffs on penguins, but not on Putin,” said Schumer, D-N.Y., from the Senate floor during Friday debate of the Republican budget resolution.

I really don't care about him golfing. Golf all you want. Just do your F'ING JOB.
Tariffs are a restraint on trade and free markets. They are bad for the economy. They are bad for America. They're bad for foreign relations.
In conclusion, TARIFFS ARE BAD.

I do care. He just forced federal employees back into the office because he claimed (wrongly) everyone was playing golf. Also, he has a cozy deal with Saudi government at his club. It reeks.

Yes. The top 7 largest DJIA drops in history, and 9 of the top 10, have occurred while the economic genius Donald John Trump is president.

Update. After today's 2,231 point drop, which was the third largest in history, Trump has now presided over the 8 largest single-day DJIA drops in history. And while it's still 9 out of the top 10, give him a couple more days and he may own that entire category.

I wish Trump and Trump Would clarify their conflicting objectives for tariffs?

1. Bring in money that will make us rich, pay off our debt and eliminate the need for taxes.

2. Return manufacturing to the US, though this would not accomplish the objectives in #1.

3. Eliminate disadvantages for the US by getting other countries to remove their tariffs on US products. Obviously this would not generate money for US or cause goods to be manufactured here.

Plus the destroying the US economy thing and creating a world-wide recession stuff...
