Is Trump getting more Trumpian? A review finds he tweeted or retweeted 680 times in August, up from 287 in his first August in office. Of them, 52 were attacks on specific named targets, compared with 14 two summers ago. ⁦@sbg1⁩ https://t.co/KEFHQiDZd2 — PolitiTweet.org

With the latest round of tariffs, the trade war with China is likely to hit American households in the most direct way yet. By how much? About $460 over a year for the average family, according to an analysis. ⁦@qdbui⁩ https://t.co/7MgAdyVWUa — PolitiTweet.org

Dissident backs Trump's China strategy: "The president is on to something. Tariffs and economic threats may be blunt tools, but they are the kind of aggressive tactics necessary to get the attention of the CCP regime, which respects only power and money." https://t.co/RM0Dnt8nJW — PolitiTweet.org
