FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating:
*foreign spies stealing govβt and trade secrets
*foreign and domestic terrorist threats
*crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others)

The billionaire CEO of the third richest company on the planet gives the President an actual block of gold so his company is exempted from US Government tariffs. And the whole thing is broadcast live on TV.
Anyone who can't see what is happening to this country is unsalvageable at this point.

t took six months for a Trump official to be politely forced by a journalist to admit live on air what everyone - including every economist - knows to be true (but which Trump keeps lying about): tariffs are paid in the US by US importers.
What an indictment of our media.

This is plainly gross and horrifying, but it's also just good business. You can buy the most powerful man in the world for like $5,000. Why wouldn't you? When you remove ethics and your own moral compass from the equation, decision making gets incredibly simple.

It's remarkable how much national crime and violence and murder debates go on with no grasp of the history of crime/violence in the USA. Deep South/Gulf coast states have always had highest murder/gun violence in the country. Always. In general the South has higher rates of crime/violence ....

Jessica: Before this deal, we essentially were paying 1% on imports with the EU. 15% is more than 1%. I wish Gasparino was sitting here to explain to Jesse how tariffs work because it is a tax on the consumer.
