Trump Doesn't Care If He Wrecks Global Economy

On Monday, President Trump gathered more than 100 small-business leaders in the East Wing of the White House to take a victory lap. His return to the White House had resulted in "record business," he said. The tax and regulatory cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the legislative centerpiece of his second term, were already a huge success. The economy was "roaring." Everything was going phenomenally, unbelievably, historically well.
