It’s taken less than a year of Trump being in office for Republicans to embrace being openly racist as policy and as a party.
Fine: "I'm talking to my colleagues about whether we want these fake Somali refugees - who come to our country, add no value, suck our resources, defraud our govt - whether we actually want them here. I don't think Ilhan Omar shouldn't be a member of Congress - I think she shouldn't be an American"

This is very surprising because everyone knows that if you give in to an extortionist, they will never come back with more demands.
As @cerianbond.bsky.social argued, Trump is not “transactional” because that would require him to respect agreements. He is an extortionist.

Only took three months for the US to weaponize the US-UK Tech deal: "British officials on Monday confirmed the US suspended the deal last week, with one saying the Trump administration was pushing for UK concessions in areas of trade outside the tech partnership."
