Trump just claimed his tariffs have pulled in $2 trillion. Then literally hours later, he inflated that to $3 trillion. With this absurdity, he undermined his case for tariffs, revealing that he's just pulling numbers out of his ass.

Russian propaganda state TV:
"The Kyiv dam must be destroyed. Kyiv must be flooded, Kharkiv annihilated. Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Odesa, and Sumy wiped from the face of the earth."

Ah, creating a legal entitlement for $500K for some elderly millionaires because they being investigated for their role in an insurrection *in exchange for* a show vote to make health care affordable.
Look at this new outrage. To open govt, we're retroactively letting 8 Senators sue for $500K each over having had their J6 phone toll records looked at. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...
