Trump chaos has already damaged the economy. It may be too late to fix it
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/23/business/trump-tariffs-fed-damage
Forecasters broadly say there is an elevated risk of a recession this year — perhaps as high as a 50% to 70% chance. Virtually all note those odds are in flux because of Trump’s ever-shifting tariff agenda.
Even if all of the Trump 2.0 tariffs were unwound today, the US would still lose at least 1% of GDP just from the policy uncertainty, said Kent Smetters, professor of business economics and public policy at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. “We are projecting that GDP will eventually fall by 5% if all the tariffs are implemented.”
“The US-Canada trading relationship is profoundly damaged, and will be forever,” Wolfers said. “It’s made it politically impossible for Canada to be pro-America … That damage is done.”
Pompeo warns against US recognizing Russian control over Crimea: ‘Mistake of epic proportions’
In 2018, Pompeo — during Trump’s first term — issued the Crimea Declaration “reaffirming U.S. policy its refusal to recognize the Kremlin’s claims of sovereignty over territory seized by force in contravention of international law.”
While Trump has disavowed Pompeo as a member of his inner circle, the former secretary and CIA director told The Hill he is articulating to Republican allies on Capitol Hill why maintaining the Crimea Declaration is important and “the right thing to do.”
He mentioned Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a close Trump ally and Ukraine supporter, as one of those allies and said he saw him in Ukraine. Graham was in Kyiv with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) this week.
“There are many in my party, the Republican party, that have disappointed me deeply and have said things that are inconsistent with what I think are the deep American interests that we have here,” Pompeo said during a fireside chat during the conference.

Trump Has Found God. It’s Him.
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/05/30/trump-god-messiah-assassination-attempt-00362322
For a while now, a roster of religious believers and leaders, grateful for the political victories Trump has bestowed in exchange for their votes, have suggested and sometimes outright said that Trump is “chosen,” or “anointed,” or a “savior,” or “the second coming” or “the Christ for this age.” Now, though, Trump does it, too. And that matters. It matters, some say, because it highlights how his well-documented narcissism and grandiosity has metastasized into notions of omnipotence, invincibility and infallibility. And it matters maybe most immediately because it offers a window into how he is approaching his second term — even more emboldened, even more unilaterally oriented, even more apparently uncheckable and untouchable than the first. “I run the country and the world,” he said last month. “I’d like to be pope,” he said — kind of joking, but … kind of not? — before he and the White House posted on social media an AI image of himself adorned in archetypal papal attire.
Trump’s tariffs snag in the courts
https://thehill.com/newsletters/morning-report/5325336-trump-tariffs-courts-uncertainty/
Brian Darling, a GOP strategist and former Senate aide, said GOP lawmakers are “quietly applauding the decision” by two courts Wednesday and Thursday to halt Trump’s tariffs “because it saves them from having to deal with the tariff issue, which has proven to be unpopular.”
Appeals court lifts first block on Trump tariffs
https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5324530-appeals-court-lifts-tariffs/
A federal appeals court lifted the first of two rulings blocking President Trump’s tariffs on Thursday, handing him a temporary win after a lower court rejected the administration’s legal defense hours earlier.
Many of Trump’s tariffs remain blocked under a separate ruling issued by a federal judge in Washington, D.C., though that judge gave the administration two weeks to appeal before it goes into effect.
Second federal court blocks Trump’s tariffs

A second federal court blocked the bulk of President Trump’s tariffs on Thursday, ruling he cannot claim unilateral authority to impose them by declaring emergencies over trade deficits and fentanyl.
The ruling from U.S District Judge Rudolph Contreras, an appointee of former President Obama who serves in the nation’s capital, comes hours after the U.S. Court of International Trade similarly blocked a series of Trump’s tariff announcements
President Trump Isn’t a Tariff King
A sweeping trade court ruling puts the executive in his proper constitutional place.
In a ruling heard ’round the world, the U.S. Court of International Trade on Wednesday blocked President Trump’s sweeping tariffs. This is an important moment for the rule of law as much as for the economy, proving again that America doesn’t have a king who can rule by decree.
The Trump tariffs have created enormous costs and uncertainty, but now we know they’re illegal. As the three-judge panel explains in its detailed 52-page ruling, the President exceeded his emergency powers and bypassed discrete tariff authorities delegated to him by Congress. The ruling erases his April 2 tariffs as well as those on Canada and Mexico.
Small businesses and several states (V.O.S. Selections v. U.S.) challenged Mr. Trump’s use of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs willy-nilly. That law gives the President broad authority in a national emergency to “deal with any unusual and extraordinary threat” including to “regulate” the “importation” of foreign property.
Baby of pregnant terror victim dies after fighting for his life for two weeks
The baby of Tzeela Gez, who was shot and killed in a Palestinian terror attack in the northern West Bank earlier this month, died in the hospital after doctors struggled to keep him alive for the past 15 days, the Samaria Regional Council and the hospital announced Thursday morning.
Appeals court pauses ruling that blocked Trump’s tariffs
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/29/business/appeals-court-pauses-trump-tariff-ruling
The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s ruling restores Trump’s ability to levy tariffs using the emergency powers he declared earlier this year. The appeals court also ordered that both sides provide written arguments on the question of the blocking of Trump’s tariffs, to be filed by early next month.
The pause adds to the confusion and uncertainty swirling around Trump’s tariffs, which have been a key pillar of his economic policy.

Court blocks Trump tariffs: 5 takeaways
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5323730-court-rules-against-trump-tariffs/
Much of President Trump’s sweeping tariffs were halted Wednesday when a federal court ruled that an emergency law does not give the president unilateral authority to impose tariffs on nearly every trading partner.
The ruling offers a huge blow to Trump’s trade agenda and declares that his “Liberation Day” tariffs, including those imposed on China, are illegal. Most of those tariffs had been reduced to 10 percent but could now have to go away entirely while refunds are provided to those who paid duties.
Still, the ruling leaves room for the Trump administration to replace some of those tariffs with new ones under different U.S. laws. It would also leave tariffs in place on some imports, including cars and aluminum.
That means negotiations between much of the world and a Trump administration using tariffs as leverage will likely continue.
Murdoch Paper Accused of Pro-Trump ‘Catch and Kill’ Scheme
https://www.thedailybeast.com/murdoch-paper-accused-of-pro-trump-catch-and-kill-scheme/
The New York Post faces being sued by one of its own reporters who claims it “caught and killed” a critical story about one of Donald Trump’s controversial picks.
One of the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid’s longest-serving journalists claims that the paper’s editor-in-chief personally killed off a story which would have revealed key questions over Trump’s candidate to lead the Drug Enforcement Agency.
Veteran business reporter Josh Kosman told the Daily Beast he had worked for weeks on a tip that Terry Cole, Trump’s DEA nominee, had been involved in missions which resulted in the unnecessary deaths of U.S.-backed operatives overseas.
But eventually it was killed off by the paper’s editor-in-chief, Keith Poole, in an email saying “Nope. Not running this.” Weeks later Trump said Poole should replace Emma Tucker as editor-in-chief of The Wall Street Journal, posting on Truth Social, “It’s an easy move for Rupert, and he’ll love the results.”
