To the degree Trump's tariffs (if implemented) apply to the Belt and Road, that would be quite an escalation

EXCLUSIVE: A veteran adviser to Donald Trump is urging that 60% tariffs the President-elect has vowed to impose on Chinese goods also apply to those from ANY country that pass through a new port Beijing built in Peru. And ANY China-owned port in LatAm... bloomberg.com/news/articles/…



I'm sorry to see @jaselzer exit election polling. She has gotten more right than most and had the courage to not herd or put an ideological thumb on the scale, which is more than can be said for many.

Look at this graph and explain to me why you think I should read this as a measure of consumer confidence rather than partisanship.

Final (?) numbers: In NV, Trump received about 750K votes, a little more than half cast. He won by about 46K votes. Sam Brown received 676K votes, 74K (!) fewer than Trump. 86K voted for 3rd-party candidates or "none of the above." Brown lost by about 24,000 votes. Striking.

John Paulson: “Although various media outlets have mentioned me as a candidate for Secretary of the Treasury, my complex financial obligations would prevent me from holding an official position in President Trump’s administration at this time.” wsj.com/politics/elect…

Trump set to tap Marco Rubio as next secretary of state and Mike Waltz as national security advisor- both known as China hawks. Rubio, who would be the top US diplomat, is sanctioned by China and barred from entry. @Colum_M bloomberg.com/news/articles/…


Trump's agenda in the first 100 days will be determined in no small part by 3 things: - Keeping House Republicans (who struggled to pass even simple things of late) 100% united - How fast his confirmable appointees get confirmed - Whether people get sick.

And the house majority gets whittled by another vote.
