Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Trump doth protest too much.

Is this the endgame to curb voting rights and secure white control in America? Owners of empty red rural land vs landless citizens in urban centers?

"In the Roman Empire, land ownership was a major determinant of political power and a prerequisite for voting and holding office for male citizens."

Kimmel's comments were about the MAGA response, not Kirk.

All the false outrage on behalf of Kirk is deliberately misplaced and an overt attempt to silence anyone who might embarrass their leader.
"The comments were offensive" and "He said horrible things about Kirk" are false. Pure politics.

Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on.

Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime.

Trump is making a play against mail-in voting at the same time as he is normalizing armed troops in the street.

So when elections come around, do you think black and latino Americans will feel safer at the polls with armed vigilantes and National Guard under Trump control 'maintaining order'?

Trilateral meeting between Putin, Trump and Zelenskyy is 2 against 1. Trump is in Putin's pocket.

At minimum, Europeans should be at the table to even the playing field and represent the interests of those who will guarantee the security and prevent Russian empire-building aspirations. Ukr in NATO.

@acoyne.bsky.social @jagmeetsingh.bsky.social @politico.eu Canadian PM Mark Carney signals the end of global trade anchored on the USA. The world will move on as Trump has made the U.S. an unreliable partner with bully politics. American consumers, beware. #Trade #Geopolitics

America, you are paying for the Trump tariffs out of your pocket.

FAFO with Krasnov. Inflation and job losses coming. But he's raking in the bucks and gaslighting you when he says foreigners are paying the tariffs. You are.

So when will ICE turn the detention centers into work camps?

I am waiting for them to put the same ag workers they arrested on a farm back to work picking fruit and vegetables under armed guards with less food and no pay.

"Trump pauses raids on farms, hotels, and eateries."
This is not about immigrants, it's about protecting the Owners. It's about protecting food prices for MAGA.
It's not about the workers. The US economy depends on immigrant labor, and Trump finally got it when businesses explained he'd lose votes

Trump wants a minimum of 3000 arrests by ICE per day. How many are rapists and murderers?

I thought Republicans didn't like quotas?

Normalization of a police state.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem calls Los Angeles a city of criminals. She was the governor of South Dakota with a population of less than a million people.
Los Angeles has a population greater than 12 million.
Noem's experience and understanding of law enforcement and de-escalation is Very limited.

So Trump posts about his telephone call with Putin this morning, and Putin posts about his call with the Pope. Hmm
Waiting to see what else comes out.
Trump better send more weapons, not sit on his hands, or someone might suggest he's still a Russian asset, with marching orders from his handler.

I have used boor to describe 47 in the past, but today's Oval Office ambush of the South African President makes the boorish label for the obnoxious behavior of POTUS particularly salient.

Interesting that ICE and other police entities abducting people off the streets and arresting Newark Mayor feel compelled to wear masks, but Team Trump says students and other protesters exercising their First Amendment rights will not be allowed to wear even medical masks. Police state aspirations

Isn't it called child abduction when someone takes a child away from their father?

Trump has state-sponsored child abduction of American-born children, being illegally removed from the country against their father's wishes, and without legal representation. How many laws is team Trump breaking?

American economic illiteracy is a tragedy borne of parochial insulation from reality. Other countries and their citizens understand the interconnected nature of trade relations around the world, and how interdependent economies are.

Does Trump think just bailing out farmers will fix it this time?

So Trump has a feel-good portrait Putin/Kremlin made for him so he wouldn't give any arms to Ukraine and they could 'win' the war.

Does he have to leave it at the WhiteHouse/ Archives with the rest of the gifts Presidents receive while in office?

Keep it in archives, never to be seen again.
