Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said she was "really excited" about Trump's leadership—seemingly unaware of market turmoil.
Summary
A video of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins praising Trump's new tariffs while standing beside a screen showing the Dow Jones down 1,200+ points has gone viral with 1.1 million views.
Trump’s tariffs target over 180 countries, with a 10% baseline on all imports and higher rates on key partners, including China (34%) and the EU (20%).
The administration claims the policy will boost U.S. manufacturing, but analysts warn of economic risks.
Rollins also faced questions over rising egg prices and unclear tariff impacts on food imports.
I know this is petty, but I don't care. Why is it that these people always have the most generic, first-gen AI created names and the most fucked up faces? I know fascism doesn't inherently attract the best, brightest, and most interesting but come on. It's like they just hit random on the Oblivion character creator and said "Brooke Rollins with the fivehead? Looks good to me!"
