"Perhaps the most important thing to understand about Trump’s mobster state capitalism is that it isn’t about economic efficiency or stimulating growth, let alone a vision of how the economy works and what it should create. It’s about power, pure and simple. Trump is expanding his own personal power in every direction he can — over Congress, over universities, over civil society, and over American business."
Here’s a section of the CBO report that Trump & his courtiers missed:
🚨'We estimate: the changes in #tariffs will reduce the size of the US #economy...The increases in tariffs will make consumer goods & capital goods more expensive.'"

Full Weight of #US#Tariffs Slams Into Effect Against #India
As punishment for buying #oil from #Russia, #Trump is doubling the tax on goods imported from India, jeopardizing a relationship decades in the making.
Trump on Wednesday followed through on his threat to impose a 50% tariff on nearly all goods arriving from India, leveling one of his most punitive tariffs at a country with deep ties to the #UnitedStates.

The 50% rate, half of which is punishment for #India buying #oil from #Russia, is expected to damage many Indian exporters that collectively employ millions of people. The move could rupture America’s expanding economic relationship with India, where ⅔ of the largest #US #corporations have #offshore operations. The tariff also undermines the stability of billions of dollars of foreign investment in India’s #StockMarket, the world’s 4th largest.
This cannot be sustained for long within a bounded #economy. If you intensify the #exploitation of your domestic #workingclass & #resource base in this way, sooner or later you will face a #revolution.

Paul Waldman discusses Trump's "mobster state capitalism":
"What distinguishes Trump’s version of state capitalism from what you might find in other places is its random character, with every decision driven by the whims of one erratic man."

It’s about power, pure and simple. Trump is expanding his own personal power in every direction he can — over Congress, over universities, over civil society, and over American business."
"The administration’s solution is not to fund violence prevention programs and local law enforcement—two methods proven to work—but instead to use the power of the government to terrorize communities.
There is a frantic feel to that effort, as if they feel they must convince Americans to fear crime more than they fear rising grocery prices or having to take their children past police checkpoints on their way to school."

“NEW:🚨More than 199,000 federal workers have left their jobs or have been forced out by the Trump admin since Jan. 2025, per a new report.”
That’s nearly 10% of the entire federal civilian workforce.

But because no president before #Trump crossed this particular line, the vague standard has never been litigated. Ultimately, #SCOTUS will have to weigh in. Much more than Cook’s employment status hinges on its decision. If #Trump succeeds at firing her & replacing her with a loyalist, he could be just months away from a full-blown #takeover of the #FederalReserve.

The #LisaCook Case Could Be the Whole Ball Game
If #SCOTUS lets #Trump replace Cook with a loyalist, he might soon achieve a full-blown takeover of the #FederalReserve.
Under the law, a president can fire a #Fed governor only “for cause.” To clear that bar, Trump has accused Cook of having made false statements on a mortgage application.
