I'm confused (nothing new with this administration). Doesn't DHS have the information that trump is demanding from Harvard? Foreign students have to provide a visa to the school that they are issued by DHS. Am I missing something? Is the government expecting the school to investigate? NOT THEIR JOB!

Today is 5 yrs since George Floyd's murder. Today trump is feeling emboldened by his crypto carnaval. He wants to stay in office but can't change the Constitution. He needs a national emergency to declare marshal law and stay. In 2.5 years, he will pardon Chauvin. There will be riots. #blm

The President of South Africa is 100 times smarter than trump!! It is so obvious. And he has a sense of humor. 💜

Is he really naming all White men as great South Africans to the Black president??

Remember the outcry when Kamala and Joe didn't immediately visit natural disaster sites because they were dealing with diplomacy? Has anyone seen JD or Don at the disaster sites? Afraid of outcry from FEMA defunding?

Trump is trying to rule the world. FULL STOP.

Anyone cheering the price controls on pharmaceuticals does not understand that this is NOT what we want. We want national healthcare. This is just to shut us up. All the countries he compares the prices to have national healthcare.

As an independent filmmaker, I can tell you that trump's claim that this movie tariff protects the industry is total BS. It is intended as retribution for Hollywood being so vocal against him. It is intended to silence us. It will kill the industry!

Aaaanndd -- it's still Biden's fault! Dude! Get over Biden! This is YOU! Tariffs are wrong!

Watching the Ford CEO obviously use CNN to suck up to trump was soooo disappointing. I will now cancel my wish for an F150 hybrid.

I said this 9 days ago! This is absolutely market manipulation which is illegal!!

He only did the to get Congress to pass the tax cuts. And distract

This pause is only on the reciprocal tariffs that hadn't taken effect yet! Not the tariffs already in place!

This isn't "The Art of the Deal," Karoline. It's called "BULLYING OUT OF FEAR!" Bullies are cowards and trump is a bully.

$3K+ in extra costs for families. Retirement accounts down 10% since January. Carmakers announcing layoffs. But Trump’s meme-coin is surging! youtu.be/G4CVoJ61iCo

If I understand it correctly, if trump signs an EO that we don't like, all we have to do is pay him a "settlement", and he'll rescind it! Well, that's easy!

Elon is out as personal advisor bro and chief firer of humans. The position has been filled by loony Loomer.

What trump has missed: foreign consumers like American products for many reasons. They will buy these products no matter what. So foreign governments add tariffs to these products as a way to collect taxes. American companies DO NOT PAY THESE TAXES! Foreign consumers do.

Lutnick says trust in trump. He knows what he's doing. Which is why he filed bankruptcy so many times. Can the United States file bankruptcy?

Lutnick just said in order to avoid the high price of labor raising the cost of American goods, ribotics will be in all these factories. Soooooo, what will happen to American labor?? It's all a CON!

This is all a great Con. Like Alastair Crowley, the Satanist, he's going to turn to all the MAGA voters and scream, "You SHEEP! I made the whole thing up!" But he will already have emptied the coffers.

If I understand it correctly, if trump signs an EO that we don't like, all we have to do is pay him a "settlement", and he'll rescind it! Well, that's easy!

If the cost of manufacturing a car in the US is higher, what country is going to buy them? Our foreign markets will die. Without their own tariffs on American goods. We will be our own sole market, a closed economy. Hmmm. Old China anyone?

Couldn't what trump's doing be stock market manipulation? He knows it will go down when he says "tariffs," and he knows it will go up when he backs off. Who's profiting? Follow the money!

I'm rewatching season 4 of The Boys. It was prescient, down to the supes in his cabinet. Where is our ATrain? If you haven't seen it, do. Warning: a LOT of violence, gore, and body parts.

More distraction. Take attention off Signalgate! Tried Greenland and that didn't work. Now put a 3rd term out there. Stay focused!! Don't let them distract!

I have been a Smithsonian donor and member for 50 years. I went to high school in the DMV and would skip school to go to the museums. (I know. Really NERDY.) Every museum contributes to the whole of American, world, and universal history! The world needs the Smithsonian! It is truth!

This could have ended three days ago, but trump has one rule that will destroy him: Never admit you're wrong, no matter what the evidence shows. The dems will continue to pound this -- and they're right!

We are moving so for away from democracy in a free market. All economic control is in the hands of a president and clown (attach those to whomever you see fit). You can't blame capitalism because this sure ain't it.

They forgot the JFK rule from Bay of Pigs: own it, get the other guy (Goldberg) on your side, and cut losses (Waltz). Move on. Nixon also forgot it and denied. We saw what happened to him.

If I hear one more time "well, Biden did it," I will scream! If he was so bad, why do you use his mistakes to justify making similar ones??? That is counter-intuitive! #Hegsethsignal #excuses

The crux of the IRS info release problem is the technologically ignorant congressmen do NOT understand what can be done with this information beyond just finding aliens! THIS WILL BE CATASTROPHIC!

If Mr. Burchett of Tennessee feels the judge is a liberal (which makes him wrong I guess), the system is that you follow the injunctive relief, bring back the planes, return the prisoners to prison, and appeal the decision to a higher court! What are they afraid that we'll see??? Not gangbangers?

On top of cost of food set to go up even more with tariffs, this is not even being discussed.
