I mean, when we talk about inflation surging, I mean, just think, I'll give you this data point right here.
And it's a silly data point, but I can give you a million examples like this.
Italian pasta is poised to disappear from American grocery shelves.
Italy's not going to send us pasta anymore because when you add up the various tariffs and other punitive measures by the Trump regime,
It's basically 100% import duties on Italian pasta.
And so the combined tariffs are among the steepest of any product targeted by the Trump administration.
And I know it's like a silly thing like, man, there's a lot bigger things than talking about Italian pasta.
But it's just an example of in all of these aspects, Trump uses government to like take things away from people and like harm people's lives.
And can you imagine if former President Biden did like any of this crap, any of it on any day?
I was having a conversation, someone on my travels, and we were talking about, and this was someone who was alive during the Nixon era, a very famous civil rights lawyer.
And I was speaking to him and he said, this is the worst he's ever seen anything by far.
It's not even close.
And I said, that's obvious.
I said, Watergate happens every single day under this Trump regime before 9 a.m.
Before I make this video on the West Coast, Trump's done like eight Watergates every single day at this point.
And by the way, don't take my word for it.
How about former Vice President Pence's chief of staff, Mark Short?
Here's what he posted this morning.
The president's current economic strategies, price controls, worldwide tariffs, state-owned enterprises, instructing the DOJ to go after meatpackers.
Trump's own economic advisors say we're entering a recession.
