@MAGAVoice LOL 🤦‍♂️. All this proves is how terrified Trump is that his lethally ignorant & gullible followers may find out the truth about how damaging his boneheaded tariffs actually are. While the clip the Canadians used summed up Reagan’s views on how stupid & damaging blanket tariffs

Also, Jack Smith did not sign off on Arctic Frost. He was still working in Europe. The others, quite obviously, would have had to sign off on an investigation of a former president’s campaign. Would have been weirder if they did not.

Trump says Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco and Jack Smith rigged the 2020 election … while he was president and none of them were in power. They also managed to “tape” lawmakers’ calls before the Biden administration began. Quite clearly, none of that happened.

Russian military expert said that talk of providing Tomahawk missiles is merely “an issue of big politics” and alluded to a secret agreement reached by Putin and Trump. He speculated that no one might find out what was truly said there for a long time.

Russian journalist Michael Bohm stated that Putin knows Trump all too well, which enables him to manipulate the U.S. president and to skillfully “lead Trump by his nose.” #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

The federal government doesn’t track the number of American citizens who are taken into immigration custody. So ProPublica did. They found that more than 170 U.S. citizens have been held by immigration agents, “kicked, dragged, and detained for days.”
