Shrinking…

… unfortunately I am not talking about the size of the regime’s collective egos.

Let’s start with the economy, or what’s left of it. GDP shrank in Q1, freight is collapsing, and the shelves are going bare as Trump’s 145% China tariffs strangle supply chains. But don’t worry. According to the president, the “kids can just have two dolls,” as if we’re all ungrateful brats begging for excess in a war economy. This isn’t just economic illiteracy, it’s a full-blown class war, dressed up as discipline. Trump’s trade reps admit there have been zero negotiations with China since “Liberation Day,” a.k.a. the day the Great Recession rebranded itself as freedom.

Meanwhile, while you're explaining to your children why Santa's on strike, Trump is in Qatar cutting yet another foreign real estate deal through the Trump Organization. Because nothing says "America First" like bankrolling a former president via petrostate payouts. Don Jr. and Dogecoin Dandy David Sacks have also launched the “Executive Branch Club,” a cozy $500,000 pay-to-play scheme for buyers of elite access. The grift is no longer shadowy or secret. It’s merchandised. You too can subscribe to oligarchy, just click “Add to Cart.”

And that’s all I have time for as the doors to the plane for our flight back home close.

Y’all be good!
