Tech billionaire Elon Musk slammed President Trump’s trade Peter Navarro on Tuesday, calling him “truly a slowpoke” in their latest spat over the administration’s new import taxes. “Navarro is truly a slowpoke. What he says here is demonstrably false,” Musk wrote on X in response to a video of Navarro discussing Tesla’s assembly process for its electric vehicles. Navarro, in the CNBC interview, claimed Musk’s Tesla is not a “car manufacturer,” but rather a “car assembler,” that puts together parts from other countries. Tesla, led by Musk, has long touted itself as a leader in U.S. domestic production. The company produces all of its North American vehicles in the U.S. at factories in California and Texas, though some of its parts do not come from the U.S. Musk pushed back on Navarro’s claims, stating Tesla “has the most American-made cars.” “Navarro is dumber than a sack of bricks,” he added, writing later, “By any definition whatsoever, Tesla is the most vertically integrated auto manufacturer in America with the highest percentage of US content. Navarro should ask the fake expert he invented, Ron Vara.” https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5237811-elon-musk-slams-navarro-tariffs/ |
Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro wrote an article in the Financial Times on tariffs insisting “this is not a negotiation” at 1:45 p.m. yesterday — exactly half an hour before Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced formal negotiations with Japan. The White House later deleted a post on X endorsing Navaaro’s op-ed.

John Ellis: “You can’t grow coffee in any of the United States of America except Hawaii. And you can’t begin to grow enough coffee in Hawaii to meet even a small part of America’s daily demand. So you have import it from all around the world (Africa, South America, Central America, Asia).” “Right now, a cup of coffee or a can of coffee at the supermarket or a 5-pound bag… costs X. This week it will cost X plus 10%. At least. If the coffee comes from certain countries, it will cost X plus a lot more.” “Politically speaking, what the White House has managed to create here is a daily reminder to every single coffee drinker in the United States of America that their cost of living has increased. Every day they will get this little memo… “In the annals of political stupidity go, there are ‘own goals’ and there are ‘own goals’. This one is epic.” https://politicalwire.com/2025/04/07/epically-stupid/ |

Constituents of Kogi Central Senatorial District have thanked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for validating 208,132 (43.86%) of the signatures submitted in their petition for the recall of the suspended lawmaker, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents the District in the National Assembly. While the constituents noted that they had mobilised more than the required 50% plus one threshold of registered voters and submitted their petition with full documentation, they believe that the validation of 43.86% of signatures by INEC is a clear indication that the people of Kogi Central have rejected the embattled senator. “Apparently, INEC canceled not less than 35,000 signatures at the administrative stage,” the constituents said while reacting to a statement on the recall process issued by the electoral umpire. The constituents expressed their unwavering resolve to move forward with the recall process and bring the Senator home in a statement issued Thursday and signed by Salihu Habib on behalf of the petitioners. “We will liaise with INEC within the full ambits of the Constitution and regulations to demand for transparency in the handling of our petition. We have utmost confidence in the Commission not to subject the recall process to ambiguity or administrative opacity,” the constituents said. The constituents expressed their unwavering resolve to move forward with the recall process and bring the Senator home in a statement issued Thursday and signed by Salihu Habib on behalf of the petitioners. https://guardian.ng/politics/kogi-central-constituents-vow-to-proceed-with-petition-to-recall-senator-natasha/ |
Stellantis has “paused production” at some of its Canadian and Mexican auto assembly plants due to the newly announced tariffs — and as a result, some US workers will also be temporarily laid off. Among those to be laid off are 900 US hourly employees who make powertrains and stampings that supply the affected Canadian and Mexican plants, Stellantis said Thursday. The temporary layoffs are due to reduced production prompted by the tariffs. The affected US employees work at five different Midwest plants: the Warren Stamping and Sterling Stamping plants in Michigan, as well as the Indiana Transmission Plant, Kokomo Transmission Plant and Kokomo Casting Plant, all in Kokomo, Indiana. https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/03/business/tariff-related-layoffs-hit-five-us-auto-plants/index.html |
“Stellantis said on Thursday it was temporarily laying off 900 workers at five U.S. facilities after President Donald Trump’s tariffs were announced, and temporarily pausing production at an assembly plant in Mexico and one in Canada,” Reuters reports. “The maker of Ram trucks and Jeeps said the U.S. plants affected are powertrain and stamping facilities that provide parts for the two factories in Mexico and Canada that are being idled.” https://politicalwire.com/2025/04/03/automaker-lays-off-900-after-trump-tariffs/ |

President Trump, as part of his expansive package of new tariffs, levied taxes on a number of uninhabited or sparsely populated islands that have little-to-no exports. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lStWAhGfxn0?si=Z6V9OsoIwYGi3gwK The announcement of new tariffs on Wednesday will hit nearly all foreign countries with a baseline tax at 10 percent. The administration also announced higher tariffs on others, ballooning up to 54 percent. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5230165-donald-trump-tariffs-islands/ |

Manufacturing is no longer a competitive advantage for America. The U.S. simply can't compete in this sector anymore and should instead focus on maintaining its edge in services. Even with a 100% tariff imposed by Trump, goods manufactured in Asia would still be cheaper than those produced in the U.S. Curious to know why? |
