He is so genuinely, egregiously, unfathomably stupid. He STILL doesn't know the difference between a trade deficit and a fiscal deficit. He made this same error in his first term multiple times, and he STILL hasn't learned. The man is genuinely an imbecile.
Trump: All we have to do to cut our trade deficit with a country is cut off all trade with a country. If we end all trade with Canada we'd save ourself $90B.

Roughly half way through his term, Trump is only on par 2deport about the same amount of aliens as Biden. So, where is everyone ICE is arresting? Not deported - detained in 4profit prisons funded by tax-payers. It's just another scheme 2funnel working-class $ 2the affluent class.

A Royal Canadian Air Force crew risked their lives to save 11 American teenagers. They asked for nothing in return. America’s response? Tariffs. Threats. A sanctions bill named “CANADA FIRE” by a Senator from Ohio. #Canada #USPolitics #Tariffs #CDNpol opinionoverload.com/declan-m…

"He looked at a burning continent and did the math on how much of it he could bill." If this is how the U.S. treats its closest ally after a rescue, why should Canada ever come to help the US again?#Wildfires #Trump #Michigan

Elon Musk now says he ‘got carried away’ with the Doge cuts. The consequences aren’t theoretical - they're real-word lethal, and it’s far beyond the usual tech‑bro theatrics. If you think this is just another billionaire sideshow, read the numbers. truthout.org/articles/musk-s…

There's nothing "responsible", fiscally or otherwise, about 1.5 million children losing food support. This is what Republican budget law is doing - real families losing meals. truthout.org/articles/at-lea…
