There are 3 options on the tariffs
1. It's a negotiating position, so manufacturing isn't coming back.
2. It's to bring manufacturing / jobs back to the US, so its not a negotiating position.
3. It's to raise revenue for the government, which ultimately will be paid by Americans through higher prices and jobs are not coming back.
It can't be all 3, or even 2 of the 3. Your position seems to be that Trump and his admin are lying when they say that its about bringing jobs and manufacturing back and you agree with his son (Eric) who says its about negotiating. That's fine. I don't believe crashing the stock market is the way to do that.
You are full of shit on the astronauts. The plan was clearly communicated by NASA and executed on by them, starting on 9/29/24 when the dragon capsule docked with the ISS with only 2 astronauts on board, hence proving 4 seats for the return journey planned for Feb25, and then moved to Mar25. Those are the facts, which you seem to have a problem with, not me.
As for the DOGE findings, why would I have an issue with finding waste & bribes. I think we should reset the budget to 2018 - which I've stated on this thread. That would reduce gov spending by approx. $1.5T annually at the stroke of a pen, then see what maybe goes back in.
