President Trump's Twitter feed is a cornucopia, a veritable cornucopia of joy and issues.

0:26.2

And sometimes it appears that the president is getting high off his own supply when it comes to Twitter.

0:31.2

And we'll go through his Twitter feed, which is just lit as the children say these days.

But first, I want to get to how you can make your resume better.

0:38.6

So let's be real about this. Whatever job you are currently holding, sorry to break it to you, employees, but in five years, you will probably not be holding that job. And it's not because you're going to get fired. It's going to be because your resume is going to get better and you're going to want a better job or you're going to want to want to start a side business.

And then President Trump does my show prep for me because he goes on Twitter.

2:02.2

And that's what happened this morning when the president decided to tweet about tariffs.

2:05.9
