The Tariffs thing has been kicking around since before his first administration. Biden one-upped him and raised things like the EV tax on Chinese cars to 100% for our friend Musk. So I think it's more the sudden and arbitrary nature of the Tariffs this time around that makes the head spin.

If you saw him signing these executive orders, it was like he was autographing Denny's menus at ConCon. Stephen Miller or whichever shitbag could have written "Trump to undergo hourly enemas" and he would have signed it.

The weekly Prime Minister’s Questions can be incredible. If you have a decent leader of the Opposition then the country’s leader has a weekly public battering. At the moment the UK’s LotO is beyond incompetent but with a decent leader it’s a great system.

The idea the president never gets his ass handed to him on a weekly basis sucks.
Agreed - I love the mud slinging
