As press secretary Karoline Leavitt says the quiet part out loud about Trump’s tariffs, a reporter who covers Trumpworld explains why his vile bullying of our allies should be taken a lot more seriously.

    She said Canada could avoid the tariffs by “becoming the 51st state”

    Obvious follow up question: if Canada becomes the 51st state, wouldn’t that remove the barriers that is keeping all that imaginary fentanyl out of the US?

    Do journalists even have brains any more?

      I imagine they think the military occupation required will solve the problem.

    Putin wants US alliances to crumble. As his pawn, Trump will continue to sew chaos.

    Hasn’t Trump already said this? This isn’t the press sec saying anything Orange Mussolini hasn’t already been explicit about. It’s one of their talking points.

    I think the real goal is to have CEOs of impacted companies pay big bucks directly to Trump to get special carved out exemptions for their company. “I didn’t bribe him. I paid $5M to stay at Mar a Lago.” (With the understanding that I could meet with him and explain why he should carve my company an exemption. ) When you are analyzing Trump’s actions always ask how is he getting richer and/or advancing Russian interests .
