The tariffs haven't made any difference in the trade deficit. There was a large peak just before the tariffs went into effect but since then the deficit has been largely the same as it was before the tariffs.

If I had any trust in Musk-run companies then I would agree with you but I think its closer to the hyperloop than reality.

I can't speak for Europe but in the US crime has been on a downward slope since the 90s, all while the percentage of immigrants in the US has gone up.

A few studies have shown that immigrants have a lower incidence of crime, especially undocumented ones. I don't know of any reputable studies (in the US) that show otherwise.

I think you're right. People have been fooled into thinking he's a populist. He uses some populist trappings but look, for example, what he's done about Epstein: he's running interference for billionaires, contradicting what he promised to do. His bombing of Iran is not populist, either.

It's not an ego problem. It's a racial one.

The above reply explains how Maga will carry on even if new Trump/Epstein news comes out. They'll do a what-about by pulling in some liberal involved with Epstein and then ignore it by focusing on something completely different, usually something based on Trump lies.

I think most of his followers would call it fake news or just ignore it

This is where I'm at. It's a cult and trumps believers will follow him to the kool aid. There's already quite a bit of proof that Trump had a relationship with Epstein and it hasn't made much of a difference.

While I believe it's good that we call it out, there will always be enough people willing to do evil for money. It'll have to be shut down from the outside and that's where our focus should be.

If it was COVID, though, wouldn't we expect to see the same thing in other countries?

These guys know that you can't accuse trump. He'll consider it disloyal and ignore you at best. By praising Trump he's hoping that Trump will step in and "fix" it, which will likely involve Sun getting a cut somehow.

I've done all of those and while I think they are important i believe it's most important to let politicians know, otherwise they rely too much on money.

And that some of us are trying to change the situation. My reps have heard from me multiple times.

> Some tell WIRED the vitriol is making them feel duped by the president and fearful that the hateful rhetoric will become a mainstay for the party.

I'm sorry, but what? How could any of this be a surprise? Sometimes I don't understand people.

Agreed. I've been to zion many times and the rangers have never been anything but helpful. A while back a ranger recommended a hike with few people and now I do it every visit.

It is crowded, which is a bummer, but still a great experience.

I'm all in favor of the impeachment but I worry that it makes it more likely that he wants to nuke Iran. If he's going down he'll take everyone with him. Hopefully the people around him are enough afraid of Nuremberg 2 that they stop him.

Anyone who is frustrated with HN comments and moderation just need to read the Reason comment section to see how good it is here.
