Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge?

Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show:
They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirt—“Let’s see where it’s made.”
Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag…
Made in Nicaragua.
They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee.
Legendary.
