        Here’s what the White House and its crack team of trade investigators seems to have done: Take the US’s goods trade deficit with any particular country, and divide it by the total amount of goods imported from that country. Cut that percentage in half, and there’s the US’s “reciprocal” tariff rate. 

  

This is how they ended up doing things like imposing a tax on imports from uninhabited islands full of penguins.

Given their actions, it's been pretty clear that the racism and eugenics is their goal. Looks like one of them made it too explicit:

The deleted profile associated with Elez, who was embedded in the Treasury Department to carry out efficiency measures, advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act and backed a “eugenic immigration policy” in the weeks before President Trump was inaugurated.

To summarize, what's going on is that while many nominations only require 50 votes to end debate, diplomatic posts have generally relied on unanimous consent to end debate, and Senator Brian Schatz has announced that he will not be agreeing to unanimous consent on any of them, forcing a day or two debate in order to get them confirmed.

Théo’s huge wagers on Polymarket—a prediction market that isn’t open to Americans—drew broad attention last month after the Journal reported that four accounts on the platform had been systematically purchasing wagers on a Trump victory. The bets lifted Trump’s odds of beating Vice President Kamala Harris, as shown on Polymarket. Blockchain data showed that the accounts were all funded by the same crypto exchange, fueling debate about the motives of the “Trump whale” behind them.
