I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price.

Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

So apparently Canada wasn’t mentioned in the just released U.S. Annual Threat Assessment “as a source of illicit fentanyl.”

AT ALL.

And yet Trump specifically cited fentanyl as THE LEGAL JUSTIFICATION for starting a trade war with Canada using tariffs by executive order.

Proof the EO is illegal.
