okay now that you all have gotten a taste of America's rational and predictable new trade policy, everyone who wants to build your new factories here just form an orderly line

A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far:

1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively.

These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.

Can’t imagine the amount of front lobe damage it would take to get a normal person to seriously sit there and chide others about β€œfree speech” while their boss threatens to criminally prosecute journalists in his own country.

In Trump's head every time he flips, they play one of those reality TV show stingers. it definitely keeps everyone watching

Telekom-Chef Tim HΓΆttges said at #MWC2025 that Europe should have a #DOGE department to get rid of regulators! He wants 3 pan-European mobile networks, so consumer prices can increase. Demands an end to #netneutrality. Wants payment from CAPs. #polisky #eusky #econsky #draghi #fairshare

Scoop: Three former FCC chairs are speaking out against Brendan Carr's crusade against media companies.

In a text message to me, Carr responded, writing, β€œLol. Just three?” Then he sent a GIF. And then a lengthy tirade.

Scholz was responding to calls to privatise the rail operators. The UK privatised system being proudly second most delayed suggests this won't make the trains run on time. His point still stands.

In advance of SpaceX/Elon engineers causing more airliner catastrophes here's a remind that American commercial aviation has had a near perfect safety record going back 23 years. Totally unprecedented in aviation history. Here's a graphic that gives the overview.

Good thing that a colour screen can do black and white for those who prefer it ;)

well it has certainly been an amusing prank to let the worst people alive take over the american government for a few weeks, but I think it's probably gone on long enough

As usual, when people say β€œcorporate” media doesn’t cover something, it usually is actually covering that thing. Wired (owned by conde Nast) literally broke the story.

Exactly this. The entire dance was done specifically to benefit Trump and make sure everyone knows that it's he who "saved" TikTok. It's a very successful PR stunt for Trump.
