RVs are becoming the housing of last resort for a growing number of Americans.
Nearly 500,000 Americans are living full time in an RV, around double the number four years ago.
I spent time with a few of them. Here are their stories.

A 50% tariff on the EU would not only impact Americans buying European products, but also companies making their products in the US.

We spent 6 months investigating a children’s pastor accused of being a serial rapist.
His accusers have spent 40 years fighting to stop him.
Today he works for disgraced televangelist Jim Bakker and runs a secluded camp for kids in the Ozarks.

For companies making their products in the U.S., tariffs have driven up costs and cut demand.
“It’s been the most bizarre roller-coaster ride, where our enthusiasm going into this year was sky high, and then it was just like the air came out of the balloon."

So maybe "cheap baubles from China" shouldn't be the American dream. But for some of the people I have interviewed, being able to get your child a doll or afford a dresser for your kids to put clothes in at least gives them some sense of decency
They work very hard, but they can't buy a house with the big backyard, they can't go on the Disney cruise, they can't afford to send their kids to college. And they have jobs making good wages, they don't need more manufacturing jobs.
I just think of the people I've interviewed for stories who were struggling with housing costs, rising food costs, going to food banks and working multiple jobs. Being able to get your kid a little toy or buy them a new pair of shoes or have a nice Christmas is one of the few luxuries people had

But China has been moving away from the US. Now, 15% of its exports go to US and about 3% of GDP comes from US exports.
Unlike most presidents, Trump has traveled little in his first 100 days.
He has spent 12 of the 14 weekends at one of his own properties. On 9 of those, he has overnighted at Mar-a-Lago, where he can often be found playing golf www.nbcnews.com/politics/don... by @natashakorecki.bsky.social
