Who Knows? 

So, President Trump has imposed steep tariffs on his so-called "liberation day," but who knows whether he will stick with them, especially if the markets tank as the futures are doing at this hour?  Trump is famously chaotic and a hip-shooter, changing his mind quickly and setting off in new directions.  Business can't invest that way.  It takes time and planning then construction and machinery -- years, not months.  Trump is boasting that he is interrupting the logistics chain and bringing back manufacturing to America.  It might be far too late for that.  How will companies communicate rising prices to consumers? Will they blame Trump or just his tariffs?

Grandstanding? 

Was this effective resistance to MAGA or grandstanding for one's personal benefit?  Only time will tell.

And Now... 

And now the Smithsonian falls under President Trump's bigoted gaze.  One wonders if those who voted for him understand what they have done.

No Way 

This is no way to run a government, a corporation or a hotdog stand.  Businessmen need an amount of certainty to plan. With Trump, they're not getting it.  How do you communicate something that changes constantly?

Reaction Is Beginning 

A reaction to Trump's policies was predictable and inevitable.  Trump is seeing that now.

It Starts 

It starts.  PBS and NPR are in the crosshairs of Republican wrath.  This time they might actually lose government funding -- a pity for communicators everywhere.

Interesting 

It's interesting that a solid majority of American voters, even Republicans, believe the President should follow court decisions even if he is opposed to them.  Judges are the last line of constitutional defense in citizens' eyes and that is good at a time when Congress has ceded its power to the executive branch.
