On April 11, President Donald Trump announced his intention to turn a strip of federal land along the U.S. southern border into a massive "National Defense Area," effectively creating a new 170-square-mile U.S. military installation. The plan was described in a National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM-4), titled "Military Mission for Sealing the Southern Border of the United States and Repelling Invasions." The document sets in motion the creation of a military area that is twice the size of Washington, D.C. It also expands the U.S. military's role in stopping migrants crossing the border.

Defenders of Trump's unorthodox way of doing business will often say that he's a "disrupter," meaning it as a compliment. But what he's been disrupting lately is his own presidency. His splashy tariff announcements, rapid reversals, and sense of mystery about where he's headed next all have real-world consequences on businesses, consumers, and allied nations, and none of it is redounding to his political benefit. The good news is that having created this situation of his own volition, he can undo most of it if he reverses field on the tariffs. In the meantime, the vibe has definitely changed.
One positive thing you can say about Trump is that he exhales carbon dioxide.
