"An important motivation for US President Trump’s tariff escalation is often overlooked: tariffs serve Trump as a domestic and foreign policy instrument of power. The instrument of power consists of granting tariff exemptions for good behavior and denying such benefits or imposing even higher tariffs for lack of support or even opposition to Trump. Thus, the granting of tariff exemptions is part of a general drive to silence opposition. The article first discusses the contradictory nature of the officially stated goals of Trump’s tariffs, then describes the policy of granting exemptions to foreign nations and domestic companies in Trump’s first presidency, and presents some evidence for a repeat of such favoritism in the second presidency."

"We all know that #trump is an empty vessel!"

"I'm putting a lot of pressure, you don't know what pressure I'm putting on #Russia, we're putting a lot of pressure on #Russia, and #Russia knows that, and some people who are close to it know, or he wouldn't be talking right now... I think he wants to make a deal, and we're going to be finding out really soon, but it takes two to tango, and you have to have #Ukraine wanting to make a deal, too."

**I only post the hottest 10 posts in the subreddit.**

A taste of normalcy and happiness today

Today is “Bring Your Child to Work Day.” My husband is a federal employee and took our son with him to the office today. He’s been sending me pictures periodically through the day from all the fun activities his building planned for the children. Seeing pictures of my husband smiling and my son enjoying the time with his Dad and learning about all the work he does there, has honestly brought tears to my eyes. The past few months have been so stressful. And this feels like a brief moment in the haze where work has been enjoyable. Knowing our luck, activities like today will be cancelled in the future. But it was nice to enjoy and soak it all in for now.
