Better hope you don't need government assistance now because your leader has likely torn down that institution with your party's blessing. You reap what you sow.

Don't worry though, the markets will recover someday, they say. Kellyanne Conway says this summer. LOL

Most #pharmaceuticals are made at least in part in foreign nations

#Trump has been saying for weeks that he plans to impose #tariffs specifically on pharmaceuticals….He has said those levies could be 25% or higher. Drugmakers still expect tariffs targeting them to be announced soon.

They came out in defense of national parks and small businesses, public education and health care for veterans, abortion rights and fair elections. They marched against #tariffs and oligarchs, dark money and #fascism, the #deportation of legal immigrants and the Department of Government Efficiency.

Demonstrators had no shortage of causes as they gathered in towns and cities across the country on Saturday to protest President #Trump’s agenda. Rallies were planned in all 50 states, and images posted on social media showed crowds in places like St. Augustine, Fla., and Franklin, N.C., and rainy Frankfort, Ky.

Trump’s Tariffs Pose a New Threat for Germany’s Stagnant Economy

> #Germany had hoped that a new government would revive its stagnant #economy, but President Trump’s sweeping new #tariffs are stoking worries that Europe’s biggest economy will fall short of its 0.3 percent growth expectations this year.

> ...the uncertainty created by Mr. Trump’s policies, which can be announced or rescinded on a moment’s notice with little explanation, made the situation even worse.
