Alright, so Mike Pence is out here talking about how Trump’s tariffs were the ‘largest peacetime tax hike’ in U.S. history. Not really sure why this matters, but Pence seems pretty worked up about it. He also mentioned something about Putin only understanding strength and calling for harsh sanctions on Russia. Maybe it’s just me, but it sounds like Pence is trying to flex some muscle here.
Now, on the other side, we’ve got Sen. Chris Murphy saying that it was a mistake for Democrats not to address voters’ concerns over Biden. I mean, I guess that makes sense. If you’re not listening to the people, then what’s the point, right? And then there’s Treasury Sec. Bessent talking about how countries who don’t negotiate could see tariffs rise. Sounds like a real tough negotiation game going on there.
In the midst of all this political chatter, high school students are learning how to participate in civil political debate in an uncivil age. That’s actually pretty cool. It’s important for the future generation to know how to engage in discussions respectfully. And then we’ve got House Democrats and Republicans going back and forth on various issues, like Trump’s tax bill and the Trump-Qatar jet deal. It’s like a never-ending drama series in the political world. But hey, that’s politics for you. It’s always a rollercoaster ride. So buckle up and enjoy the show.
