"Combined with previously announced commitments, the total amount Big Law has ceded to the aspiring dictator is now just shy of $1 billion.

Think about that: one billion dollars of legal work from the top law firms across the country to do Trump’s bidding. And that number is sure to grow as more cowardly law firms follow suit." - Mark Elias, Democracy Docket

Trump’s waffling indecision betrays his weak hand. His sycophants can gurgle about the “art of the deal” all they like—it’s plain these guys are making this all up as they go along.

Gilbert can't increase the price of the milk he sells *set by the local co-op. can't feed his cows less food or buy feed from another supplier -aren’t any nearby.

But the tariff was legal &-it was Gilbert’s resp. The dairy farmer is one of 10s of 1000s of American business owners caught in a🚨spiraling trade war, & lives in one area of the US that might already be tipping into a #recession bc of it. Bus' near the CAN border: esp vulnerable.

@chrisstoecker

Thank you for your well said post. Here’s an English machine translation:

“The real existing right-wing radical administration of Trump and its obviously and objectively catastrophic activities in many respects once again refute the popular thesis that right-wing radicals (and right-wing extremists) would "disenchant" themselves if they were only allowed to come to power.”
