The Bat Signal's Glare on Tariff Turmoil

Another day another crisis brewing in Gotham... or rather Washington. Seems the usual suspects – those delightful Democratic lawmakers – are flapping their wings about President Trump's tariff policy. They're saying it's less about national security and more about lining the pockets of his cronies. As if politics wasn't already a performance. I've seen more honest dealings in Crime Alley.

From Gotham to Washington: A City of Shadows

Forty seven members of the House and Senate led by Senator Warren – a politician who like a certain Clown Prince knows how to make a statement – are demanding answers. They want Secretary Lutnick Bessent and Greer to spill the beans on how they're preventing 'misuse of tariffs for self dealing.' Ironic isn't it? Politicians worried about corruption. It's like the Joker complaining about bad jokes.

The Dark Knight's Guide to Economic Warfare

The Democrats are accusing Trump of using tariffs like a Batarang – aimed at his enemies but conveniently hitting his friends.

Justice Must Be Served: The Bat's Promise!

The Democrats' letter is a challenge a gauntlet thrown down at the feet of the administration. It reveals the lengths to which they will go to thwart Trump's agenda. Whether they succeed or fail one thing is certain: Gotham... er Washington will never be boring. Someone has to keep the streets safe and someone has to keep tabs on the powerful. The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you the dawn is coming.
