Trump doesn't have a plan for the economy ,and it's hurting businesses. From Etsy shops to microchip manufacturers, Trump's slapdash and contradictory economic policy is making it harder for businesses to operate. From @ddayen.bsky.social: trib.al/nA2UhAS

Don't worry. The official numbers from the government will be out soon and I'm sure they will tell us how we had the biggest single month growth in manufacturing ever. Every factory in the world suddenly moved to the US.
