Of course he did. And I’m sure the orange asshole will be calling China sometime next week to try and quash the trade war because right now he’s to busy playing golf and eating McDonalds happy meals.

He heard Tim Cook speak and the Chinese officials saying that they will never cave to Trump and that was it.

Why is no one talking about the particular stocks that Trump owns? He is heavily stocked in Apple, so no wonder he’s putting exemptions on electronics. This needs to be disclosed to the public because this is part of the insider trading and the stock manipulation.

According to US news, these are Trump‘s stocks :

Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (ticker: DJT)

Apple Inc. (AAPL)

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)

Nvidia Corp. (NVDA)

Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN)

Alphabet Inc. (GOOG, GOOGL)

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK.B)

Broadcom Inc. (AVGO)

Elizabeth Warren talked about it yesterday with an interview with Jim Acosta it was a great interview. She is calling State AG’s to investigate as well. Of course democratic governors.

The republicans, of course, will not step up to the blatant corruption being committed in our faces. Blaming democrats (who usually is the party that rebuilds the economy broken by the republican administrations as demonstrated over decades) is the easiest way to get out of accountability. Whining about democrats not being perfect, not saving us , all the “purity” one-issue voters need to WTF up and realize that all of us not Magat are now at risk and we need to be on point, on message to defeat the enemy-the corrupt fascist administration installed by the billionaires. The Republicans own this disaster, and have supported the fascist takeover of our democracy and need a serious reckoning by massive opposition however we can.

I 100% agree and to see the cabinet of Trump wear a gold pin of him is truly disgusting.

It’s hard for me to push the 💙 for this article because I don’t love ANYTHING in it. I only love the fact that I’m getting the news from an independent, honest source. When will enough be enough? How long are we going to stand for this? When will Congress grow a backbone and STOP THE MADNESS???

Good and urgent questions.

When, Congress and Senate, are you going to grow a spine and stop this mad man? The Repubs are afraid of being primaried but after all this, who would ever vote for them??

Expand full comment
robopecha's avatar

when will us citizens realize that no congress and no one else will stop him? only the people can stop him. and that will be harder the longer everyone waits. because there will be new methods of control in place. and more and more people will be scared to do anything. you have to either start something now or get a passport and leave.

So if I understand correctly, I can promote Jesus but if I’m Muslim I will be turned in? And this is why we need separation of church and state.

Ever since trump threatened Canada with annexation through force or economic warfare most Canadians have been boycotting everything US at the stores and for travel. We are now looking at the US government as a serious threat to our country. It is absolutely chilling.

Lorna, thank you so much for your compassion and support 🙏, we need help so badly here, it's terrifying. They're just snatching people off the streets and disappearing them... disobeying court orders, closing vital government departments.... threatening to deport people for their thoughts!! Imagine?? Marco Rubio is saying that it's justified to deport even Americans who might, in the future, have opinions contrary to what he determines is appropriate. My God, they're all insane 😞. Trump just took down President Obama's portrait and hung up that disgusting photo of himself being removed from the podium after the (faked) assassination attempt....where he's got his fist in the air and screaming. Disgraceful 🤬

But, thank you again for caring for us, it means the world to me 🙏💙🇨🇦 I stand with beautiful Canada. Elbows Up!

Please, please, we are so angry at the administration. Our heart breaks for the American people that got out and voted and are doing everything they can to fight this. Please know we are not mad at you! Our feelings about the SANE Americans have not changed. We are mad at MAGA and really, really disappointed with the people who protested by just sitting at home. Please know I feel sick about what you are facing and we do worry about the dissenters and we are with you in this fight!

Why would Susan Myers be fired for DEFENDING HER COUNTRY?? Why should they CARE what she said to Dictator sidekick Vance, especially after he invaded their country trying to muscle in on the without an invitation? Sounds oxymoron and counter productive. Makes NO SENSE.

Also the "state department" is in anc of itself WILDLY NON CHRISTIAN, so who should we report THEM to? If I worked for them I wouldn't tell them shit.

Also we have NO administration. We have the 4TH REICHT!

So with al of that said, Happy Birthday and enjoy your weekend! 🥳

This tariff formula is such a confusing disaster. Retailers are just going to increase prices on ALL products because how will any of us know what's exempt and what's not. He has created a colossal mess for nothing!!
