CNN released exclusive 2024 audio where Trump claims he warned Putin heβd bomb Moscow if Russia invaded Ukraine. According to Trump, Putin took the threat only β10% seriously.β He reportedly gave a similar warning to Xi Jinping about striking Beijing if China attacked Taiwan.

Arthur Harris:
"The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them."
Trump should think twice, even if it's only a bluff.
TARIFFS ARE NOT PROFITS FOR CITIZENS.
THEY JUST MAKE IMPORTED GOODS MORE EXPENSIVE FOR AMERICANS.
TARIFFS ARE A TAX ON YOU, NOT ON OTHER COUNTRIES.
#tariffs
Are you confusing tariffs with profit?
Tariffs just make imported goods more expensive for Americans.
This isnβt a smart deal β itβs a self-inflicted cost.

Is it really a free economy to unilaterally impose tariffs on allies around the world?
What happens if they retaliate?
Even if factories move to the U.S., who will they export to when America isolates itself?
Globalization was an invisible World War I β an economic war.
And having lost it, we may now be entering the 1930s all over again: a time of revenge and delusion.

So we agree tariffs are a failure.
The only difference is, I said it before it happened.
Youβre saying it after.
Prediction is easy when damage is done.
Why did so many Republican voters choose to become pawns for the richest 1%?
Is the GOP now just a "Party of Pawns for the Rich"?
βMedicare for All? Thatβs socialism.β
βUniversal childcare? Thatβs socialism.β
Meanwhile: $1 trillion for the rich? βThatβs just how it is.β
We need to realize: weβre not citizens. Weβre chess pieces.
Capitalism became a game β and weβre just pawns.

Trump's tariff threat and demand for factory relocation isn't capitalism β it's closer to economic nationalism, or even soft national socialism.
Forcing allies to serve your domestic labor agenda isn't free trade. It's coercive industrial policy.

Tariffs canβt fix culture.
Watch Gung Ho (1986).
Japan saves a U.S. factory. Pride almost kills it.

This isn't just a Japan problem.
It's a quiet tax on American life.
Game consoles: Nintendo, PlayStation β price hikes for families
Kitchenware & knives: Chefs and home cooks hit hard
Cosmetics: Popular Japanese brands affected
Toys & stationery: Schools and children impacted
Motorcycles & parts: Riders in key U.S. states feel the pain
The 25% tariff excludes cars and steel,
but still hurts Americans. Here's how:
Electronics & semiconductors: Higher costs for U.S. tech and EV makers
Medical devices: Hospitals and patients will pay more
Cameras & optics: Scientists, creators, and hobbyists lose out
π―π΅ Japan has 0% auto tariffs.
πΊπΈ The U.S. will impose 25% tariffs on almost everything else from Japan β except cars and steel β starting August 1.
This isnβt a βdeal.β
Itβs coercion.

Trumpβs new tariffs may vary by product,
but when it comes to automobiles, this is the current reality.
πΊπΈ Americans love Japanese kei trucks β affordable, efficient, and perfect for small jobs.
But thanks to the outdated βChicken Tax,β a 25% tariff still blocks their full import.
So much for βfree market.β
This isnβt protecting America. Itβs punishing American consumers.

You're right to be cautious β the 25% tariff applies to light trucks, not regular passenger cars.
For passenger cars, the U.S. rate is 2.5%.
Japan's rate is still 0% across the board.
