Trump Loses Billionaire Vote - The Tuesday AM Quickie 4/8/25

By Whitney Curry Wimbish —

I think it’s pretty alarming how Trump’s USDA is going to make one of the most dangerous jobs in the US even worse, so I wrote about it. Welcome to The Jungle. - Whitney

READ ALL ABOUT IT

Thanks again, paid subscribers! 

Today you’ll read how Trump has lost the billionaires (for now), how the newly appointed solicitor general thinks the US can send whoever it wants to foreign black sites indefinitely, and how Israel has shot to death another American in Palestine. 

THE BIG NEWS

Even The Billionaires Are Freaked Out 

Wall Street titans berated Trump yesterday, calling his tariffs “stupid, wrong, arrogantly extreme” and warning they will increase inflation and uncertainty and ruin America’s reputation. Some raised their expectations of a recession. “Most CEOs I talk to say we’re in a recession right now,” said BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, who runs the world’s largest asset manager. 

Markets opened down on Monday and then shot upwards after a social media post claimed Trump was planning to pause tariffs for 90 days. But then White House officials called that “fake news” and sent the lines south again. 

“We are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down,” warned billionaire investor Bill Ackman, who endorsed Trump’s election campaign.

Trump ignored all of that and doubled down on his campaign of self-harm. The insane mob boss threatened China with an additional 50% tariff if it doesn’t withdraw its tariffs. And when asked if he would consider pausing tariffs to negotiate, he said, “We’re not looking at that.” A White House official said no serious negotiations have yet been held.

US High Court Sides With Disappearance Campaign

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts paused a lower court’s order demanding the Trump administration bring home wrongly deported Maryland father Kilmar Armando Abrego García by the end of the day Monday. In his emergency petition to the high court, solicitor general John Sauer argued that the US can disappear any individual to another nation, that the individual has no rights once in a foreign gulag, and that the US government has no duty or power to get them back again. The ongoing case comes as Trump plans to spend $45 billion to expand immigrant detention to horrific new levels.

Israeli Forces Shoot Dead New Jersey Teen in West Bank

Israeli forces shot to death 14-year-old New Jerseyian Amer Rabee and injured two other teenagers in the West Bank on Sunday as settlers and soldiers continue to terrorize the area. Rabee, from Saddle Brook, is among the several American citizens who Israeli soldiers have shot to death, including activist Aysenur Eygi and others. The Israeli military said they opened fire on the three teens because they were “terrorists.” Rabee’s father said the friends were out picking green almonds.

PARTING WORDS

"Surveillance footage showed the woman create a noose and tie it around her neck, yet no medical response occurred for nearly two hours."

-- U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal in a statement about a 52-year-old woman who killed herself after Customs and Border Protection agents took her into custody. The woman was a Chinese national and had overstayed her visa. “Reports have consistently shown that the United States falls far short of its obligations to treat all detained people with dignity and fairness,” said Jayapal, the ranking member of the House Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Subcommittee.
