The "economic sophistication" of an admin that thinks tariffs are free money deserves its own Nobel Prize for creative accounting. Trump's "favorite word" has cost Americans $500B since 2025 while Powell warns of simultaneous inflation/unemployment spikes TODAY.

Fed Chair Powell just stated Trump's trade wars risk economic disaster - same day Bessent praised this incoherence. Steel tariffs bled $60B in retaliations, pharma tariffs caused ER shortages, while 2025's $1.7T top X% tax cut exploded deficits. Sophistication? Try arson.

When historians autopsy this admin's economy, they'll find two relics: tariff calculators set to "loot" mode and a framed photo of Jim Rogers laughing at Bessent's "detox" fantasy. The maestro of debt deserves no encores.
