Even if it did not run afoul of the emoluments clause, it will require many millions in retrofitting for security, and many millions more to undo some if that before it’s “donated” to Trump’s presidential library (i.e. the grifter-in-chief).

This new Texas law copies anti-Jewish legislation in pre-war Nazi Germany. That legislation consisted of a series of restrictive laws passed in 1933, then the Nuremberg Laws of 1935.

BBC World Radio was brutally incredulous about the degree of bowing and scraping and ass kissing required for Britain to get a trade deal less bad than the proposed mega-tariffs. But it was Trump’s toadies who were doing the deepest genuflects.

"Trump decided to reopen Alcatraz right after watching Escape from Alcatraz" is far too ridiculous not to be exactly what happened
"Clint Eastwood’s 1979 classic Escape From Alcatraz was shown on a South Florida PBS station the night before. (Trump was at Mar-a-Lago for most of the weekend.)... Local outlet WLRN had it on at 11 a.m. ET the following morning. Shortly thereafter, the president posted an emphatic announcement."

Hey! Press covering Trump!
The statute that lets him impose tariffs at will? It EXPLICITLY excludes movies.
He has no authority to do this. Not just bc of an absence of authorization, but bc the law says “you CANNOT do this.”
Do NOT say “Trump has imposed movie tariffs,” bc he did not. He CANNOT.
