Trump officials still aren’t sure what they’re doing with tariffs this week. In recent days, advisers have considered imposing global tariffs of up to 20% that would hit virtually all U.S. trading partners, using IEEPA Whatever the final plan, the president wants the policy to be “big and simple.”
Instant 20% inflation hit? Sounds "brilliant". Wonder what those trading partners think? Lets take a look at the USA's NUMBER ONE trading partner: Calgary, Alberta British Columbia
Does DOGE now have read/write access to payroll for employees of Treasury via DOI? Wish the real news would get some coverage while everyone is distracted by tariffs.
Unfollow me please.

From what I understand, this is the largest data hack in history. Maybe this answers your question? #DOGE #BFS www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Yes simple, as in: $5M to exclude your company $10M to exclude your state’s selected items $50M to exclude an industry $250M to harm your competitors (the Tesla clause) $30B to pay off the farmers
Big and simple. 🤣 THAT tracks.
That likely means the final action will be broader than earlier plans to prioritize levying tariffs on the U.S.’s biggest trading partners, about 15% of the world’s nations. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Hi Nick. Quick question: 15% of world’s nations based on which metric? Thx
Bessent and others have talked about a so-called Dirty 15 www.wsj.com/livecoverage...
Big and simple- like the president
I'm starting to suspect there's a shell company traceable to Trump's family business out there timing their market investments to his on-again/off-again tariff threats and making a killing.
You had me at “don’t know what they are doing”
Big and simple, for complex things. This explains why this man bankrupted his own business so many times. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
"Big and simple." Like him. He's so groundbreaking with his policy and his approach to everything.
He can only understand “simple,” and even that’s true only on a good day.
“Big and simple.” 🤔 Who fits that description?
aka "dangerous and crippling"
April 1 is supposed to be T Day
"Big and simple". Cripes, Mencken's never been more accurate than with this current administration: For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong. H. L. Mencken
For insecure trump, if it's not impressive and making headlines, it's not worth doing. Everything has to be historic of all time ever.
Like him
So still at the “concepts of a plan” stage then. 🤷♀️
According to Ezra Klein, Project 2025 was horrible for to advertise for election policy but surprisingly effective as real policy. I’m pretty sure everything they’ve done fits in with the document. They’re right on track economically. They want to devalue the dollar to increase investments
By effective, I mean they followed through. Not because it was effective for the country, just effective for their own…”concepts of a plan”. LOL. First they break the thing. Maybe they will fix it. Maybe they won’t. The Dems will deal with that.
into moving manufacturing and business into the US, but they forgot about who they wanted to invest. Turns out if you alienate the world, no one with money wants to come.
Of course he wants it big and simple. He's a moron. If it isn't simple he'll have no chance of remembering what he did.
Just like their health care plan. They have no plan
Like himself Did you tee that up on purpose? Be honest
Big and simple and stupid like him.
Misread the last statement, I thought it said “big and stupid . . . Just like me”
I don't get how Trump can claim that the automobile tariffs are 100% permanent and yet he has plans to negotiate. What is there to negotiate?
