What a Week!

Tariffs on.  Tariffs Off.  Tariffs mostly put on hold — unless you are China — for a while, anyway.

Markets — up and down, up and down.  Then up again.

Rumors of insider trading by those close to the president.  We’ll see.

Consumer prices?  Nobody seems sure yet.

Can a Venezuelan immigrant with alleged gang ties be deported without due process — or by accident, even?  Yes, no, maybe.

More firings.

Elon riding high, riding low, riding high again.

Navarro?  Mostly low, it seems.

Back and forth.  Up and down.  Over, under, round and through.

One theory has it that Trump’s base likes him because he makes it all so entertaining — for them, anyway.  Liberals are frightened, freaking out.

I think Dems, as they try and figure out how to rise from the ashes, need to take heed: All the rules have changed.

Successful candidates these days need to be really good on TV, quick with the one-liner, fearless when it comes to scoring points.

Jeff Hall is a newspaper guy going way back (Kansas City Star, Los Angeles Times, Brentwood News). Like many, he is concerned about how nasty and partisan everything has become. He started OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION in an attempt to get America talking again.
