Forget Obama: Trump's Pen and Phone Are Bigger Even Than FDR's

[neurosis]

I'm starting to think that libertarians aren't happy with the way things are going? 


The president is on a record-shattering pace for executive actions.

"On Monday, President Donald Trump signed executive orders federalizing law enforcement in the District of Columbia and lengthening the suspension of threatened tariffs on China by three months. They were the 187th and 188th executive orders of Trump's second term, on just its 203rd day.

That's more executive orders than predecessor Joe Biden issued in his entire presidency, 162. It's also more than George H.W. Bush (166), Gerald Ford (169), and 24 of the first 25 presidents. (Ulysses S. Grant, with his 217 over eight years, will likely be eclipsed by Trump's 2025 totals this fall.) Neither the famously power-expanding George W. Bush, nor Barack Obama of the notorious "pen and phone," signed as many as 188 executive orders in any of their combined four terms."

Pathetic.

Good news though. Trumps Tariffs bring in a Bunch.

Kinda offsets the whining about that Big Beautiful Bill. Hi Smit!!!

They don't "bring in" anything.

It's a tax on business and consumers.

Tariffs are paid by the importer to the country charging the tariffs. That's why he wants fair trade to keep this country from paying out more than they take in.

Tariffs are paid by the importer

Right. That's not a secret. It's a tax on the importer. US companies and consumers.
