Just watched the press briefing. The reporters? Spineless, asskissing eunuchs lobbing brain cell draining questions while the country burns. They just sit there and let her spew garbage with nary a challenge or a demand for proof. #whitehousepress #pressbriefingeunuchs #karolineleavittisaliar

And Karoline Leavitt doesn’t just lie—she has completely sold her soul. You don’t spew that much putridness with a straight face unless you’ve gutted your integrity to the bone marrow.

Tariff = tax on imported goods.
Goal: make foreign stuff pricier so people buy American.
