Rule of Law Alert: Trump’s authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which doesn’t mention tariffs—but does require a national emergency.

An ad showing that Reagan opposed tariffs surely is not a national emergency. (It may be a personal one)

CNN: “Trump's Argentina beef deal angers America's struggling farmers: ‘You're selling us out’”

Trump is sending ARGENTINA $20B and increasing their beef imports while STARVING AMERICAN FAMIILIES.

“Don’t be fooled by those in Epstein’s circle who say they didn’t know what he was doing. Epstein…took a certain glee in making people watch. And people did watch – scientists, fundraisers from the Ivy League and other heralded institutions, titans of industry. They watched and they didn’t care.”

Photo of two X posts. The first post by Asha Rangappa (@asharangappa_bs ...) from 20 hours ago states: "I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. I know we are 'used to it' but it is absolutely insane." The post includes a profile picture and a verification badge. The second post by George Conway (@...) from 11 hours ago is a quote of the first post, featuring emojis (fist, U.S. flag, fire) and a profile picture.

This is what Trumpism has wrought.
