Explaining his approach to the tariff policy that has triggered weeks of turmoil on global markets, the - president compared the US to the world’s department store.

“I am this giant store. It’s a giant, beautiful store, and everybody wants to go shopping there,” he said.

"And on behalf of the American people, I own the store, and I set prices, and I’ll say, ‘If you want to shop here, this is what you have to pay.’ "

This sounds like the thinking of a dictator, not of a leader. He doesn’t own the “store”, the people do.

I wonder if anyone in the Badminstration, specifically the Department of Agriculture, have thought about all the crops that will go unharvested in the fields starting around August because migrants won’t go out to pick them for fear of being deported by ICE.
