What is the state of Trump's administration?
Idiocracy was too charitable to the United States of America. Hat tip to Aaron Rupert for that quote right there. Yep, the Trump idiocracy just made Jeanine Pirro, the Fox host, the interim United States attorney for Washington, D.C., At the same time, Donald Trump fired his own interim FEMA director because the FEMA director said that he wanted to keep FEMA running as an agency.
In the Trump regime, if you try to defend your agency at all, you get fired right away. And that's what happened here. Also, MAGA was having a meltdown about the new pope. now known as Pope Leo XIV, was Cardinal Robert Prevost. He was from Chicago, is from Chicago, worked in Peru. Magus saying, this guy's so woke. He's the wokest pope ever.
He's too woke for them because he's made public statements in posts before that said that migrants should be treated with dignity. He said that J.D. Vance and Nayib Bukele, their statements about concentration camps in El Salvador and treatment of migrants was unacceptable to him. He came out in support of the black community after the murder of George Floyd.
So statements like that have Matt got very, very, very upset. But of course, yesterday began with Donald Trump announcing a fake trade deal with the United Kingdom, who the United States already has a trade surplus with.
so donald trump issued massive tariffs against the uk again the united states has a trade surplus with the united kingdom we only do about two percent of total trade with the united kingdom and so donald trump removed about 10 or 15 percent supposedly of that tariff so there's still 10 tariffs against uh uk and some of the tariffs were removed against like range rover and land rover
And so the arsonist really didn't even put out his own fire, but kind of pretended to. And we're all supposed to go, yay, Donald, good boy, Donald. And the whole thing is so utterly ridiculous. And then they go through the whole charade where he lies and he goes, the deal I made today with the United Kingdom is great for our farmers and ranchers. It's also wonderful for the United Kingdom.
Everybody benefits. That's the way it should be. You know, about 30 days ago or so, there was no restrictions with the United Kingdom. You place them on, and now you partially remove that. That's not a deal. That's not even a sub-deal. It's not even a sub-deal within a sub-deal. This isn't a free trade agreement which takes three years to negotiate. Why does corporate news baby this guy?
Oh, good job, Donald. You did a deal. You did a deal. It's not a deal at all. By the way, I mean, this is what we're learning about it, too. The full and comprehensive trade deal between the U.S. and the U.K. is no such thing. They were rushing to try to get it through. They didn't even know what the terms were. Lots of people don't even know what the terms are now.
The rush to demonstrate progress on deals reveals rising desperation within the administration to roll back tariffs before they hit GDP growth and inflation. I mean, they already are. Take a look at these three names side by side. Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada, Anthony Albanese of Australia, Prime Minister, and right now, Robert Prevost, Pope Leo XIV.
