His stated goal was “to bankrupt America with wars.” There seems to be a straight line from then to now: a weakened US DOLLAR, no allies, 2 trillion over budget, projecting weakness in another #ForeverWar l.smartnews.com/p-8expzxHr/F...

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.
