Mediaite: ‘It’s Scary’: House Repub Warns ‘Many Businesses’ in His State Will ‘Probably’ Close Soon From Trump Tariffs

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) admitted many businesses in his state will be closing up shop soon if President Donald Trump’s tariffs don’t “change.”

…

On Saturday, Bacon said car dealers and other businesses are telling him prices will need to go much higher as there is no time to fulfill demands that were previously not met within the United States. Many car manufacturers also rely on certain components from overseas while they actually build the cars here.

He said:

When I talk to car dealers here in Omaha, they say if these tariffs aren’t revised, the average person is going to pay $5000 more to buy an American car, let along a foreign made car. But an American car will cost that much more because a lot of our parts come from all over the world. We’ve got globally sourced manufacturing for cars and many other things. I have many businesses, just like Josh is saying, they’re probably gonna go out of business if this doesn’t change soon. One gentleman, he has his whole store’s Christmas lights. It’s one of the best Christmas lights stores you’ll ever see. But all of those lights comes from China, so he doesn’t have time to find other sources.

An immigration lawyer born in the U.S. told CNN she received an email from the Department of Homeland Security telling her she had days to self-deport out of the country.

Nicole Micheroni, who was born in the Boston area, joined CNN’s Boris Sanchez on Tuesday to discuss the email she received and DHS’ explanation for it. According to a DHS statement, some emails were sent to “unintended recipients” because illegal migrants may have provided other people’s emails.

The message to self-deport in seven days used Micheroni’s name and she doubted DHS’ explanation.

Fox Business senior correspondent Charles Gasparino reported on Thursday that President Donald Trump’s administration is privately discussing trade tariff deals with Wall Street executives, sharing insights on their current status — information that wasn’t made public otherwise.

Citing “senior Wall Street execs with ties to the White House,” Gasparino wrote on X that people within Trump’s administration have held private discussions with business leaders about an “agreement in principle with India.” He further reported that the deal could be used as a template for other trade deals the administration is working on with Japan and other countries. Markets have taken sharp hits amid uncertainty surrounding Trump’s tariffs and trade deals.

“People inside the Trump White House are alerting Wall Street execs they are nearing an agreement in principle on trade with India, according to my sources who are senior Wall Street execs w ties to the White House,” Gasparino reported. “No details on timing, and recall that we have been here before with Japan only to have the goal posts changed, and terms renegotiated. But if this holds, the India deal being envisioned will include agreed upon goals, and issues that have been addressed and resolved as well as a deadline for the fully-baked trade pact, my sources say.”

Can you say, “Insider Trading!”

Mediaite: James Carville Warns Americans Should Be On ‘High Alert’ — After Listeners Suggest Trump Will ‘Rig’ Midterms and Declare ‘Martial Law’

Democratic strategist James Carville warned Americans to be on “high alert” after listeners suggest President Donald Trump would do everything from rigging the upcoming midterm elections to declaring martial law.

On the Politics War Room podcast with co-host Al Hunt, Carville answered questions submitted by listeners. The first questions asked whether Trump will “rig” upcoming elections and the other suggested he was “sparking” nationwide protests to justify declaring martial law.

…

Carville claimed Trump does not “like” the United States or respect the Constitution. The country, he declared, is “in the midst of a collapse,” citing stock market struggles amid Trump’s tariffs.

“I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Trump does not like the United States,” Carville said. “He doesn’t like our laws, he does not like our Constitution. He doesn’t like our people. He calls them fat. He calls them poorly educated, slobs, stupid. And he is in the midst of what I believe — I’ve said, and yet, continue to believe even stronger every day — we’re in the midst of a collapse.”

If Trump is “going down,” Carville added, “he’s going to try to take the whole country with him.”

“He is not loyal to the United States of America. He does not like this country. He criticizes it all the time. He has affection for dictators. He has an affection for authoritarianism,” he said.
