Can someone explain to me what happened since January to make the release of the Epstein files so important to Democrats?
They had the files for the previous four years which would have given them ample opportunity to release them. Why are they such a hot topic for them now?
They finally found something to latch on to, Lord knows they need SOMETHING to cheer for. Plus it's a distraction from the Obama crime syndicate.

The President doesn't have the authority to administer tariffs, that is the responsibility of Congress. What national security issue does Brazil pose that Trump has applied a 50% tariff?

Because helping out someone who he admires because he tried to start a coup against the existing government ain't a good reason

Anything that Howard Lutnick thinks is great policy is most definitely not.
Since you didn't take the time to quote the Statute, I'll take your words as they are...
Hokie, for me, all of this is inbounds for the President. The powers of the President are being pushed to see where the limits really are. Right now, many people continue to say that the limits are what they think they are; however Article 2 powers continue to be the issue.
Regarding your accusation, whether true or not, about centrally planned... well, those are just words without meaning. Remember Ross Perot say "you're going to hear a big sucking sound" and that would be the jobs in our country. I think he was correct. Now, you believe that the net of all this was good. I don't. Is that very law passed, that provided for the "big sucking sound"... Was that central planning? Central planning passed a law that created this debate, right?
Regarding Howard Lutnick... no offense; however, I believe Howard is as smart as you want to come off as being. You just don't like this movement. That's ok, vote in the next election. you know... Representative Republic. Elections have consequences.
Lutnick: "This is literally the Japanese government itself saying to Donald Trump, 'We will provide Donald Trump and the American people $550 billion of projects you choose.

Ok, so, the reporter should have asked more questions, that's for sure.
Based on what I am inferring, the Japan Government is giving 500B for the US (my assumption is a private company) to build any type of business we need. In return, the Japan government will take a 10% equity position in those companies.
That said, that is my inference; however, more question absolutely need to be asked!

That's not the way the Japenses have described the way the deal works:
"In return for reduced tariffs, Japan has proposed investing $550bn in the US to enable Japanese firms "to build resilient supply chains in key sectors like pharmaceuticals and semiconductors," Ishiba said."
What Lutnick is saying is that the US Government will own these factories.
What authority is there for Trump to decide what factories to build in the US that would be owned by the Federal Government? That's socialism.
If this trade deal goes through, great, because I can buy a new Toyota or Honda 12% cheaper than a US automaker, so win for me. But the devil is in the details, and it seems like Lutnick and the Priminister of Japan are far apart in what this deal actually is supposed to be. And Lutnick should now better, since he's negotiating it. He's either straight up lying (most plausible), or he doesn't know what he's negotiating (unlikely)

That said, that is my inference; however, more question absolutely need to be asked!
That's not the way the Japenses have described the way the deal works:
"In return for reduced tariffs, Japan has proposed investing $550bn in the US to enable Japanese firms "to build resilient supply chains in key sectors like pharmaceuticals and semiconductors," Ishiba said."
What Lutnick is saying is that the US Government will own these factories.
What authority is there for Trump to decide what factories to build in the US that would be owned by the Federal Government? That's socialism.
If this trade deal goes through, great, because I can buy a new Toyota or Honda 12% cheaper than a US automaker, so win for me. But the devil is in the details, and it seems like Lutnick and the Priminister of Japan are far apart in what this deal actually is supposed to be. And Lutnick should now better, since he's negotiating it. He's either straight up lying (most plausible), or he doesn't know what he's negotiating (unlikely)
So this deal is a bad thing?
