Tyler Cowen: 'Liberation Day' Was Even Worse Than Expected (thefp.com)
Liberation Day has come and gone, and sorry to say, I do not feel any freer. At least on the surface, Donald Trump’s announcement, made yesterday in the Rose Garden, goes well beyond the more pessimistic expectations.

Donald Trump is turning America into a mafia state (theguardian.com)
Behold Donald Corleone, the US president who behaves like a mafia boss – but without the principles. Of course, one hesitates to make the comparison, not least because Donald Trump would like it. And because the Godfather is an archetype of strength and macho glamour while Trump is weak, constantly handing gifts to America’s enemies and getting nothing in return.

Trump DeFi Project Grabbed Crypto Assets Ahead of White House Crypto Summit (gizmodo.com)
Say what you will about the Department of Government Efficiency, but there are some ways that the Trump administration has significantly cut down on bloat. For example, it used to take at least a little digging to identify if a President was favor-trading and self-dealing. Now it seems like it just happens out in the open. So streamlined!

Golden Age of Bunk (newyorker.com)
Six weeks and two days after returning to the Oval Office, Donald Trump headed back to the Capitol, the site of his very recent swearing-in ceremony, to declare victory—again and again and again. Over Joe Biden. Evil foreign gangs. Canada. In his address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, Trump claimed that he had done more in his first wild weeks back in power, with his “swift and unrelenting action,” than any President ever, including George Washington.

Think tank seeks to give "Trump his rightful third term in office" (thirdtermproject.com)
“President Trump’s decisive leadership stands in stark contrast to the chaos, suffering, and economic decline Americans have endured over the past four years. He has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness, and he must be given the time necessary to accomplish that goal.”

Trump might not know he's forging a new relationship between Britain and the EU (theguardian.com)
It would be absurd to claim to see a silver lining behind every Donald Trump cloud. Those clouds are too many, too dark and too dangerous. All the same, viewed from a domestic political perspective, there is a clear emerging British upside to Trump’s efforts at crashing the post-cold war order. It might even get a boost from Thursday’s Washington visit by Keir Starmer.
