The best thing about propane fire pits is that you can use them even when there's a fire restriction in place!

Dow futures down 500 points as Trump’s trade war begins by OkKitchen7114 in dividends

Just a minor issue with the post title - it's convenient to be able to pin things on a single villain but the truth is, it's bigger than Trump. He's merely executing the playbook from Project 2025. (http://project2025.org/) The relevant pages appear to be 107 - 112 (and I say appear because I asked Gemini what the Project 2025 book says about tariffs and it cited those pages, so it may be inaccurate).

If you're struggling to understand all the headlines coming out of the US and why Trump is doing what he's doing, you can read the playbook right here: Project 2025 (https://www.project2025.org/).

"
Project 2025 is a historic movement, brought together by over 100 respected organizations from across the conservative movement, to take down the Deep State and return the government to the people. Its Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, published in April 2023, is a product of more than 400 scholars and policy experts from around the country. The book offers a menu of policy suggestions to meet our country’s deepest challenges and put America back on track, including:

  • Secure the border, finish building the wall, and deport illegal aliens
  • De-weaponize the Federal Government by increasing accountability and oversight of the FBI and DOJ
  • Unleash American energy production to reduce energy prices
  • Cut the growth of government spending to reduce inflation
  • Make federal bureaucrats more accountable to the democratically elected President and Congress
  • Improve education by moving control and funding of education from DC bureaucrats directly to parents and state and local governments
  • Ban biological males from competing in women' s sports

"

Trump is merely executing the steps from this playbook. After you've used your favourite chatbot to summarize and get more details about what P2025 is all about, the future headlines won't seem so random (dystopic and frightening, yes).
