How We’re All Now Paying the Price for the Myth of Trump’s Competence The administration’s war with Iran is setting a mountain of taxpayer dollars on fire every dayβ€”mostly because he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

The man is, whatever his other faults, just way in over his head. Maybe Democrats should say that more often. The fact that he’s costing taxpayers a billion dollars a day on a war most of them didn’t want may be a good place to start. trib.al/oQGYMWP

Everything Trump Touches Dies: Oil Edition Futures curves and Fed rate cuts.

NEW: "Every previous oil shock in American history was the result of external events imposed on America. Revolutions, terrorist attacks, wars between Middle Eastern powers. This conflagration was caused by the wishes of the U.S. president. Donald Trump didn’t just do this. He chose it."
