The Tesla CEO has lost $110 billion so far this year — including $11 billion on Thursday — as lagging deliveries and his controversial role as Trump’s efficiency czar have hammered the electric-vehicle manufacturer’s stock.

DOGE hasn’t cut any waste. Raising tariffs high enough to balance the budget will crash the economy. The man in the video is an idiot.This man gets it, too bad most on the left do not. Here Trump's plan is explained in about a minute or so:
They discovered it, flagged it, for the Secretaries and the President to cut. What they have found in fraud and abuse is real and in many cases criminal.DOGE hasn’t cut any waste. Raising tariffs high enough to balance the budget will crash the economy. The man in the video is an idiot.

I can't see it coming from BRICS, but I can see it from the EURO. The lowest common denominator for money is about faith. The US has taken a huge step to lowering faith in the greenback.One of the unintended consequences of Trump's Tariff nonsense is that the BRICS countries ambition to replace the US$ as the medium of International Trade has been given a big boost. The EU now has its own good reasons for diminishing the role of the $US. Working out an alternative will not be easy but common interest is a powerful incentive.
