I’m leading a letter with Rep. Terri Sewell and 131 colleagues demanding answers from the White House, USTR, Treasury, Commerce, and the SEC.
Who knew about Trump’s tariff reversal? When did they know? How did they know?
$300B didn’t move by accident. This is market manipulation.

Never gonna tell you anything off the record 🤣
I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

He also loves them because he can do them unilaterally. It gives him a feeling of power to be able to cause destruction and chaos with the stroke of a pen.
Trump loves tariffs because he feels like it’s a way to shake people down. Even better, shake FOREIGNERS down.
He thinks protectionism is more akin to a protection racket.
He clearly gets an almost sexual thrill from announcing them, and the more, and the higher, the better.

It’s a more extensive use of the app than previously reported and sheds new light on how commonly the Trump administration’s national security team relies on Signal.
