SERETIS NOTES

  People associated with the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement have reacted after U.S. President Donald Trump announced he supported the release of files associated with Jeffrey Epstein. Posting on X, MAGA figures responded to Trump’s Sunday Truth Social post urging House Republicans that “we have nothing to hide” about Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges. Good call on the President. If he has nothing to hide show the files and shut the critics up

  U.S President Donald Trump has continued his pursuit to take over Venezuela’s massive oil reserves and is considering military options to control the world’s largest oil reserves, estimated at more than 300 billion barrels In private talks with senior officials and aides in recent weeks, Trump has held high-level meetings to review plans ranging from targeted strikes on Venezuelan forces to seizing strategic oil fields. This would be a huge costly mistake if President Trump makes a move. I do not think China or Russia will sit back and watch

  Economists by and large have agreed that tariffs are harmful, ultimately producing no positive results for either the tariff-enacting country or the recipients. Arguably the hardest-hit victims of Donald Trump’s 2025 tariff war are the American people. Trump’s tariffs have resulted in the most brutally regressive tax possible on Americans. U.S. businesses pay the import tax on foreign goods they purchase and have passed  55 percent of that cost onto consumers  in 2025, according to Goldman Sachs.
