Summary

White House aides are anxious ahead of Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” announcement on Tuesday, expecting new “reciprocal tariffs” but lacking clear details.

Even key figures like VP J.D. Vance and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles remain uncertain. An insider told Politico, “No one knows what the f–k is going on.”

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and adviser Kevin Hassett said tariffs would target 10–15 countries, but Trump contradicted them, claiming all countries would face tariffs.

The confusion and internal contradictions have sparked fears of economic fallout and political backlash.

    The process is simple, confirm the order, day you believe it to be illegal, refuse to obey until proven wrong.

    They’ll get jailed or discharged because who cares? If America is at war Trump can do even more crazy shit. They’re gonna sacrifice a few willing and disposable idiots in meaningless suicide missions until the rest of the grunts feel guilty for not helping their fellow soldiers. Morale will be abysmal but so is that of the Russian troops and yet they’re fighting. I wouldn’t rely on the military to put an end to this. It rarely plays out that way.
