What’s the real motivation behind Trump’s tariffs? He believes they’ll bring so much money to the treasury that the U.S. will be able to afford another giant tax cut that will mostly benefit the rich. Who will pay for it? The working class. Here’s what you should know.

Oh my god. At the exact moment Trump announced his tariffs the market crashed in real time.

CNBC is SAVAGE for doing the side by side.

While the Trump administration has admitted it mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, it maintains he’s a gang member. But his American wife Jennifer told us he is an “amazing father” and “not a criminal.” He’s now at one of the world’s most notorious prisons.

But Noriega was lucky – he carried his Social Security card on him. If he didn’t, he could have been there much longer.
