Iβd love to see the money schools generate per congressional district. In places like Eastern WA, (hey, Michael Baumgartner), I suspect hurting Whitworth, Gonzaga, Eastern Washington, and WSU will have devastating effects beyond their campuses.
If I were president, every Friday afternoon Iβd say something terrible for the economy. β1000% tax on gas in 1 week!β Then, on Sunday, Iβd say βNah, not really!β Then the market would boom on Monday with the βgood news.β

As of today, Trump has fired two of those three.
