"He's at the peak of just not giving a fuck anymore," said the official in a report detailing the lead-up to Trump's

“liberation day” reveal.

A White House official offered an expletive-laden take to The Washington Post on Friday while describing the thinking behind President Donald Trump’s recent round of tariffs.

“He’s at the peak of just not giving a fuck anymore,” said the official in a report detailing the lead-up to Trump’s “liberation day” reveal.

In the days since Trump announced his so-called reciprocal tariffs on foreign countries, a move that saw him fulfilling a key campaign pledge, the president has been hit with backlash across the political spectrum while stocks tumble on Wall Street.

His formula for imposing tariffs has caused experts to scratch their heads, as well. Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a conservative economist at American Action Forum, told The Post that the Trump administration has “an indefensible foundation to an indefensible policy.”
