nd them. So nobody is completely natural but Republicans talk and act and think like Republicans. But Democrats have this weird thing where the most prominent part of their party are just theater kids and they try to sell their ideas with their faces. Have you noticed that? If you listen to a Republican trying to sell a policy they'll say well if we do this and that we'll get this impact so that's why we want to do it. Just policy. But if you get any one of these cats out, Schiff, Chris Murphy, Jamie Raskin, AOC, Swalwell, Elizabeth Warren or Schumer, they do face persuasion where they just crunch up their face to show how terrible something is that Trump is doing. It's so bad. Oh it's so bad. He's Hitler. He's Hitler. And none of it makes sense and they do definition thinking and analogy thinking literally analogy because they say oh he's acting like Hitler now. An analogy which is not anything. Or oh the definition of an insurrection. These are not even attempts to be part of the rational conversation because none of that's rational. So instead they send actors. Now it doesn't mean that every Democrat is an actor because they have normal ones but the normal ones are not on TV. The ones that get on TV are the ones who do the faces. Oh it's so bad. I've got so much empathy. Oh look look at the little things in my forehead. Look at those lines on my forehead. That's how serious I am about how bad it is. They're so beyond pathetic at this point that it just seems funny. And my new favorite is Chris Murphy because that guy doesn't look genuine even a little bit. He literally just looks like a theater kid who's just so happy he can do his act on TV anyway.

Tariffs tariffs tariffs. Trump is doubling his tariffs on China over the fentanyl crisis. I'm in favor of that. I'm in favor of pressing China in every way we can. I don't think that a tariff will end their fentanyl practice because I think their benefit is too big. It's a huge burden on the United States. They don't care about our deaths and so clearly strategically they're going to keep doing it. But there is one thing that they do care about which is being shamed on the public stage. And by putting gigantic tariffs on them because they're sending fentanyl to us and we know they can stop it that is a way to shame them without just getting in Xi's face. We just say this is going to stop. We're going to press every button and we're going to make a lot of noise forever and it's going to be one of the biggest things that anybody thinks about when they think about China. So China if you want your reputation to be that you're drug dealers you win because we're going to make sure that your reputation is drug dealers. So if you want that to be your brand Trump will be happy to make that come true for you. Now that might have some power not by itself. So again you'd have to add 20 variables to get any kind of a deal that really stopped fentanyl but I don't know if fentanyl can be stopped but I do like the level of effort that Trump's putting into it.

Meanwhile China is halting imports of U.S. logs and is suspending imports of our soybeans. Now what will happen to our logs and our soybeans? Now of course these are tragedies for the industries involved. I don't want to minimize it but the thing you should probably expect is that prices will go up in the short term and the short term could be a year but it might be more than a year. But everything he's doing collectively makes sense in the long term and it's a hard sell if you say to people hey I've got an idea we're going to raise your prices
