From Business Insider:

Yesterday, analysts at the Bank of America said tariffs have raised prices for consumers. They wrote in a note that consumers have covered about 50% to 70% of the cost of levies to date and suggest tariffs will continue to put “upward pressure” on inflation.

Many Americans believe that the financial pressure that working class people are experiencing will result in massive losses for Republicans at the polls. While I’d like to agree, it seems that the “average Joe” is unaware that tariffs, cuts to healthcare, etc. are actually causing him pain.

The Latest on Kid Rock and His Slurs. Zzzzzzz.

AI Overview on “Kid Rock Slurs”:

Kid Rock has used multiple slurs publicly over the years, most recently an ableist slur (the “R-word”) during a live TV interview in October 2025. He has also used a homophobic slur and a racial slur (the N-word) in other past incidents.

Recent Incident (October 2025)

During an appearance on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime, when asked what he planned to dress as for Halloween, Kid Rock replied he was going as “a r—-d” while holding a face mask over his mouth. The Special Olympics organization condemned his use of the word in an open letter, with Chief Inspiration Officer Loretta Claiborne stating the “R-word deeply demeans and harms people with intellectual disabilities” and urging him to acknowledge the harm caused.

But is this news? “Demeaning and harming people?” Like that’s a bad thing? Indeed — it’s the whole point. Fans of Kid Rock and other Trump supporters view this type of cruel, childish behavior as humorous.

If you asked the people of France, or Japan, or Brazil, if hurting people’s feelings had value in their society, they’d look at you as if you were insane. Here in the U.S., it’s what gets someone elected to the White House.

Now, Trump Says He Can’t Run in 2028: Let’s Just See

Here’s an article in which Trump and his top people lament that the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution forbids anyone from running for a third term as president.

Trump told reporters, “It’s a very interesting thing. I have the best numbers for any president in many years. And I would say that, if you read it, it’s pretty clear. I’m not allowed to run. It’s too bad.”

Of course, Trump’s reference to his polling numbers is a complete lie. From the article: Overall, the latest poll found Trump’s approval rating at its lowest level since he returned to office in January. Just 39 percent of people approve of the job he is doing, while 58 percent disapprove, resulting in a net approval rating of -19 points.

My prediction: If Trump is still in office at the time of the 2028 election, he will find some mechanism to stay in power, in a way similar to what Vladimir Putin has done in Russia. Putin can legally remain in power until at least 2036, after constitutional amendments were passed in 2020 that reset his previous term count, allowing him to run for two more six-year terms. He began his fifth term in 2024, which is scheduled to end in 2030, after which he can run again to potentially serve until 2036.
