The U.S/China trade war between has turned personal after China ignores Trump and ramps up tariffs, Trump may give Greenlanders $10,000, and the fate of Kilmar Abrego Garcia hangs in the balance
The kidnapping of Kilmar Albrego Garcia should ABSOLUTELY be grounds for Trump’s immediate removal - how are the courts still allowing him to get away with this
the fact that el salvador president is ok with put people with no criminal record in his prison is out of this world he sure fooled many of us thinking that he was for the people
Absolutely. It breaks my heart for my Salvadoran people. They had to deal with the civil war decades back, then the aftermath of it, then the massive gang problem, and now this?
Apparently people are only just waking up now, sort of. It’s been the height of frustration watch the horror unfold weeks before most citizens catch on. We can’t all be Michael Cohen or Mary Trump or Adam Kinzinger, but they have, along with so many others, been warning us for almost a decade. And now it’s nearly three months too late.
I'm looking forward to the Administrations explanations to the Midwest as the farmers realize they still aren't going to have a place to send their crops, and the Big Farm companies coming in to acquire the land. It was already bad from his last trade fiasco with China.
This will just continue to drive wealth into the top 1% until the administration works out a deal. Perhaps Musk and Zuckerberg could get them on a LIVE together to work things through?
Also looking forward to the MAGA reaction to the proposal to give each Greenlander $10K per year, while farms, businesses, jobs, and services in the US are wiped out.
I know we will suffer, but I’m cheering for anyone who doesn’t bend the knee to Trump. Someone needs to put him in his place. It just SUCKS Americans have to pay the cost.
Couple of pretty good law firms are doing just that--and when I say "pretty good," that's a severe understatement. Gorsuch and Barrett will recognize the names and their clerks will cringe. Trump will soon find out his "friends" are bottom level attorneys compared to these firms.
They’re taking everything away from from us, the American people and trying to steal our Social Security and yet they want to try to persuade the people of Greenland to become part of the United States by giving them $10,000 a year. It’s not gonna work they’re not gonna give up their healthcare and they’re not going to risk their women’s lives if they get pregnant to become part of the US. Nobody wants to be part of our country. Trump has made sure of that.
Thus i don't understand why they are so dead set on Greenland like dude isn't this whole tantrum with tariffs and deportatiins about America first.... yet we are going to turn around and give money to Greenland. Simply because "we" want it. I am so over all this crap
Yup--note he tried the same bit with Ukraine--give us (not sell--GIVE) half of your rare earth minerals to reimburse us for the money/equipment Biden gave you.
Right? We can cancel funding for medical research and cancel feeding kids and seniors but we are gonna use that to give to citizens of another country?!??!?!
Also WHY are Greenlanders being proposed that money yearly, what about the American people? No disrespect but that has got to be the most ridiculous concept ever and I'd hope this would anger his loyalist.
You expect something well thought out and even reasonable from TRUMP?? Don't you remember anything from 8 years ago? He's gotten worse and so has Congress, but his puffery is legendary.
Making them register feels like a trap. Just for the gov to turn around and either charge them or deport them anyways. America is becoming a sad and scary place
the gov knows people will think the same and leave on their own to avoid deportation. That’s what they want so it will save them the trouble and money. Idk how people could elect such a hateful man.
Every day it just gets worse. Bring the man home. Leave working people alone. Go back to trade that was working. Give us $10k a year. Why are we worried about daylight savings time?!?
Daylight savings is the *only* thing I'll ever agree with 🍊💩 on... And even that much makes me want to take a bleach bath. Worth it though... Signed, a teacher.
I know that this is not good for the American people but I'm so proud that someone is not scared to stand on business when it comes to this administration. When will the house. Senate. Congress and courts do their jobs and di the same?
Yes, let’s turn our energy to DST. I’m so sick of this administration and their horrible prioritization. It’s all a smoke screen. But a lot of us can still see through it to what’s really going on: Watch for the report issued on 4/20. We may be in more trouble than we think. I hope I’m wrong - I’d love to be embarrassingly wrong.
I’m terrified also. He’s trying to create problems so he can invoke martial law that way there would be no more elections and we would lose our constitutional rights while martial law is invoked. On top of that he wants to be able to deport American citizens to El Salvador… That is absolutely terrifying.
What's wrong with DST? How about sunset at 9pm? Let's leave Standard time alone. Worked for centuries. Go ahead and start school at 7am if you want--so long as it is Standard Time
Oh, there’s nothing wrong with it. I couldn’t care less which way we have it. It’s just not something that deserves focus at this point. There are so many other real issues that should be much higher priority.
Of course! It’s the date that the administration will release its progress report. Depending on what they include, they could claim cause to enact Martial Law.
The White House is weighing a proposal to spend U.S. taxpayer dollars to give every resident of Greenland $10,000 a year, according to the New York Times.
Wow and some will still say that he cares about us, but no this is about “building the empire,” these tax payer dollars should be going to programs to help Americans
The DOJ booted this man out of this country how quickly? And now they are whining that SCOTUS is making unreasonable demands on their time to bring him back? Boo-freaking-hoo.... I am just hoping from the bottom of my heart that Kilmar Albrego Garcia is still alive. I hope he survives this. I want him home and I want his case to catalyze the country more into bringing down this whole rotten administration.
Also, Aaron, something else to watch on China. Following Ukraine's capture of two Chinese nationals in the Donetsk region, there is now evidence of Russian promo videos targeting Chinese men to join Russian army. The videos are basically "macho man - working vacation" type fantasies. Here is where this is important....
While China is an ally to Russia politically and economically, their official guideline to their own citizens was to stay out of the military action. If this was just a facade, and China was indeed supplying troops to Russia - it's not good for China, since this blows their cover, which means China will get ticked off at Russia.
If this was NOT a facade, and China was sincere in their lack of desire to send their people to be canon fodder for Russia, China is bound to be equally ticked off at Russia for going behind the Chinese government's back and recruiting Chinese men using propaganda.
Either way, while it's unlikely, I am hoping this ruins the relationship between Russia and China, resulting in China no longer supplying ammo, weapons, and other products to Russia.
El Salvador is a short plane ride from DC. It should be possible in a matter of hours to get Garcia onto a plane home to his family. I am praying to God he is alive and will be home today.
The kidnapping of Kilmar Albrego Garcia should ABSOLUTELY be grounds for Trump’s immediate removal - how are the courts still allowing him to get away with this
Bring him back today! I
the fact that el salvador president is ok with put people with no criminal record in his prison is out of this world he sure fooled many of us thinking that he was for the people

Ummmm have you seen that man? He’s just as unhinged as ours. He terrifies me. Birds of a feather….
Bc they are all corrupt. 5 of the SC is
You do realize the courts are controlled by trump now, yes?
Apparently people are only just waking up now, sort of. It’s been the height of frustration watch the horror unfold weeks before most citizens catch on. We can’t all be Michael Cohen or Mary Trump or Adam Kinzinger, but they have, along with so many others, been warning us for almost a decade. And now it’s nearly three months too late.
How is he allowed to do most of what he is doing????? Who does he have naughty pictures of???
And why should China back down on tariffs? Trump started this for literally no reason, I would not want to meet with him either.
I'm looking forward to the Administrations explanations to the Midwest as the farmers realize they still aren't going to have a place to send their crops, and the Big Farm companies coming in to acquire the land. It was already bad from his last trade fiasco with China.

What??!!
It's discussed in the text section of Aaron's post.
And those farmers still support Trump and expect taxpayers to bail them out even though they were bankrupted Trump’s first term. Make it make sense
Everything about that “distasteful poor excuse for a man” Trump makes my personal disgust towards him turn on itself and double-puke 🤮
I know we will suffer, but I’m cheering for anyone who doesn’t bend the knee to Trump. Someone needs to put him in his place. It just SUCKS Americans have to pay the cost.
It sucks that poor and middle class families are suffering the most. Now if ONLY the super rich felt the pain I would be ok with that.
And the working class would be losing their homes.
Yes I couldn’t agree with you more!!
Couple of pretty good law firms are doing just that--and when I say "pretty good," that's a severe understatement. Gorsuch and Barrett will recognize the names and their clerks will cringe. Trump will soon find out his "friends" are bottom level attorneys compared to these firms.
This!^^^^
$568.7 million/yr of tax payer money to Greenland? I thought we were trying to eliminate government waste/fraud/abuse? Smh
They’re taking everything away from from us, the American people and trying to steal our Social Security and yet they want to try to persuade the people of Greenland to become part of the United States by giving them $10,000 a year. It’s not gonna work they’re not gonna give up their healthcare and they’re not going to risk their women’s lives if they get pregnant to become part of the US. Nobody wants to be part of our country. Trump has made sure of that.
But also like... where's our $10,000 a year? They're cutting half the programs our taxes go to fund and now they want to just give it away too?
Thus i don't understand why they are so dead set on Greenland like dude isn't this whole tantrum with tariffs and deportatiins about America first.... yet we are going to turn around and give money to Greenland. Simply because "we" want it. I am so over all this crap
If I were to hazard a guess: It’s all about the rare earth minerals they have. That’s this century’s “gold rush”
Yup--note he tried the same bit with Ukraine--give us (not sell--GIVE) half of your rare earth minerals to reimburse us for the money/equipment Biden gave you.
Exactly. Doesn’t hurt that they have a good potential for oil and gas reserves too. Since we’re now all “drill baby drill” under this admin.
Trump will be spending our tax dollars to bribe Greenlanders
This truly is called wasteful spending. Especially since he apparently wants to power grab other nations.
Right? We can cancel funding for medical research and cancel feeding kids and seniors but we are gonna use that to give to citizens of another country?!??!?!
Unfortunately we are going to give MOST of it to the super rich
Can't we have some of that to offset the Cheetos tariff policies?
its proof of how much this administration hates us
It's becoming clear that something else is going on because eliminating waste fraud and abuse isn't happening
I came here to point that out. >$1/2 Billion Annually for a BRIBE 😐 WTFityF ??
Also WHY are Greenlanders being proposed that money yearly, what about the American people? No disrespect but that has got to be the most ridiculous concept ever and I'd hope this would anger his loyalist.
I'm truly looking forward to how maga will spin this. You know it'll be positive! I keep hearing the scarecrow singing from 'The Wizard of Oz'.
You expect something well thought out and even reasonable from TRUMP?? Don't you remember anything from 8 years ago? He's gotten worse and so has Congress, but his puffery is legendary.
I don't expect any common sense from the administration.
He is dead. That is why they are not returning him.
I am so afraid this is the case. It’s sickening.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing god I hope not these monsters are evil as hell. Sickening and disgusting
I worry this is the case.
I wondered about that
That is my worry as well.
Nah, they are holding him for ransom. And putting together a list of possible other extortion prospects the US gave them.
That is sadly very likely
Making them register feels like a trap. Just for the gov to turn around and either charge them or deport them anyways. America is becoming a sad and scary place
Absolutely. ICE will deport people whether they register or not. Registering is just giving them an easier way to find you.
the gov knows people will think the same and leave on their own to avoid deportation. That’s what they want so it will save them the trouble and money. Idk how people could elect such a hateful man.
Every day it just gets worse. Bring the man home. Leave working people alone. Go back to trade that was working. Give us $10k a year. Why are we worried about daylight savings time?!?
I hate Daylight savings time. Ever try to get kids in bed at 9PM in July??
Daylight savings is the *only* thing I'll ever agree with 🍊💩 on... And even that much makes me want to take a bleach bath. Worth it though... Signed, a teacher.
You are 💯 percent right

May I ask what that date means?
Of course! It’s the date that the administration will release its progress report. Depending on what they include, they could claim cause to enact Martial Law.
Oh, shit
What the f is this??

I agree this isn't how we help us at home
Trump and his regime are evil and cruel monsters. They have no heart or soul. Just pure evilness. They All are narcissist Sociopaths.
GOOD FOR CHINA!! It's about time people and countries stand up to this fascist wanna be dictator.
Ty Aaron! I’m really worried about Spanish speaking friends that have paid taxes in the U.S.😞🫣

The judge should lock up everybody involved in the entire case all the way up to Chump. The supremes took him out of her reach but nobody else is!
