:Yet another update. It appears Peter Navarro is so triggered by India continuing to buy Russian oil that [https://x.com/mtracey/status/1960873885039255755 he is now promoting a revisionist narrative] absolving Obama, Biden, the Deep State, and the Maidan regime of responsibility for the Ukrainian war. He's literally calling it "Modi's War", unironically. At this point, Trump's second term policies feel (to me) more like a ''parody'' of "MAGA" and "America First" than the real things.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 11:41, August 31, 2025 (EDT)

::One can see and agree with Trump's overall objectives, but [[Trump tariff]]'s policy is being rushed in his second term. What he started in his first term, trying to undo 70 years of bad economic & [[trade]] policy, was disrupted by the [[Russia hoax]]. You can't compress 8 consecutive years into 3 years without [[inflation]]ary effects. Biggest impact from India tariffs on [[pharmaceutical]] prices, I understand.

::Brazilian update: The 10 oz package of Expresso I paid $2 for a year ago now sells for $7. If this continues, Trump and [[Republican]]s will be blamed for [[inflation]]. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]^{[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]} 12:31, August 31, 2025 (EDT)
