NEW: Scott Bessent says Trump didn’t just raise tariffs—he set a trap, and China walked right into it.
This is what 4D chess looks like.
Markets are rebounding after President Trump slapped a 125% tariff on Chinese imports while giving a 90-day pause to other countries.
The result? China stands alone—and completely exposed.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent put it plainly:
“This was driven by the president’s strategy.”
“He and I had a long talk on Sunday, and this was his strategy all along.”
According to Bessent, this wasn’t just tough policy—it was calculated pressure.
“You might even say that he goaded China into a bad position.”
“They responded, they have shown themselves to the world to be the bad actors.”
While China chose escalation, Trump opened the door to allies and trade partners who didn’t retaliate.
“We are willing to cooperate with our allies and with our trading partners who did not retaliate.”
“It wasn’t a hard message. Don’t retaliate, things will turn out well.”
Now the markets are roaring back—and China is left holding the bag.

We’re amazed: @AMD now beats Nvidia in inference for Image-to-Video generation. 20% faster and 35% cheaper when using our Higgsfield DoP model. AMD MI300X also has a very easy setup. Details and tests are below.

Millions of Americans view our country through the picture of Biden holding the Ukrainian girl when it should really be viewed through one of the pictures of a mother in Yemen holding her starving child.

I have personally known the creator/founder of @againstgroomers for years.
She’s normal, mainstream lesbian who loves America and the LGBT community and is PISSED at how Leftists are destroying it.
I’ll do what I can to help the mission. Godspeed!
There's a new Libs of TikTok imitator in town: Gays Against Groomers. It's using the same anti-LGBTQ playbook to rapidly acquire followers. The founder also has a history of posting far-right content and conspiracy theories.
My latest for @dailydot dailydot.com/debug/gays-agai…

Americans have had enough.
People are waking up and seeing the writing on the wall.
We need to mobilize and band together across the political spectrum.
I can see it happening already.
A united resistance is percolating ☕️ 🇺🇸⬆️

it’s almost as if these politicians just want to fundraise off the issue rather than use their power to do anything

(6/6) If handing over American sovereignty to the leader of another country isn’t treason, what is?

For many (I'd say: most) corporate journalists, "Twitter" = "liberal Twitter" = "the only constituency that matters."

This was Moscow 31 years ago - the same year as the dissolution of the USSR. How did we F this up so bad since then?

Bigger tent? Wins?
Democrats at the federal level WON in 2020, we don’t need polling.
It’s time to deliver.
Overwhelming support for the legality of most abortions IF you give people the out that they don’t need to “personally” support abortions.
A bigger tent that wins is better.

As any lawyer will tell you (if being honest), few things are less reliable than a proceeding with no adversarial component. These hearings have zero.
One can assign whatever blame one wants for that, but perhaps it means journalists should be...skeptical...of assertions there.

JOURNALISTS, all day yesterday: Trump assaulted his Secret Service agents and grabbed the wheel of the presidential limo!!! Headline news. Smoking gun!!!!
SECRET SERVICE AGENTS: That never happened.
JOURNALISTS: That was never an important part of the testimony.
