How Weβre All Now Paying the Price for the Myth
of Trumpβs Competence
The administrationβs war with Iran is setting a mountain of taxpayer dollars on fire every dayβmostly because he doesnβt know what heβs doing.

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 didnβt just do this. He chose it."

Q: Would you support military action in Cuba, and should the White House seek congressional approval?
MIKE JOHNSON: This is a topic everyone has been debating. Look, I don't think there's the appetite to put boots on the ground in Cuba. I think some of this happens organically.
