Another success story for the mush-brained orange kid diddler.

Trumpflation is leading to pain for everyone from farmers, manufacturers, and consumers. And bounty for criminal elements.

WTG, Dotard! You've increased inflation AND crime!

Wow. Who would have predicted that tanking the economy would result in higher crime?!?

Would it be surprising if some of the mobbed-up Don's shell companies were profiting from this?

"companies are grappling with "unprecedented" numbers of crimes, which have surged by a third year-on-year, according to the boss of a supply chain security company."

Maybe the boss of the security company needs to be doged.

Trump said we have $17 trillion from tariffs.

Meiselas: I think this is a serious oversight issue. $17 trillion is apparently missing right now, and we're in a government shutdown. Trump keeps saying he's got $17 trillion. Where did it go?

Garcia: If there is $17 trillion somewhere, the government doesn't know about it. None of our committees have access to it. Treasury has no idea what the hell he's talking about.

He's either lying, or he's somehow stashed away money in some magical way, which would mean even more corruption.

The media needs to get in the game here. If Trump is claiming there's $17 trillion somewhere, why isn't he being asked"every single minute of the day"where that money is?

This man is the most corrupt person ever to be president. He lies, he steals, he cheats. And now there's apparently $17 trillion unaccounted for. We have to demand answers.

Meiselas: Doesn't James Comer want to know where the $17 trillion is? That would solve everything. What else should oversight be doing if not looking into 65% of our GDP?

Garcia: Exactly. And if this keeps going, we're going to have to investigate where the hell this $17 trillion is. No question.
