Honestly, me too.
I’ve been thinking a lot about ADHD, with everything that’s happening. There’s a cognitive tax that comes with all of the chaos and uncertainty that Trump inflicts, which isn’t great for people who already struggle. So I want to share with folks why I think getting diagnosed is helpful. 1/
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
