On his 100th day in office in 2017 Trump headed to a PA wheelbarrow factory to launch his trade policy and put the US on the path to today’s tariffs.

Abruptly ending USAID support in the poorest parts of the world, ended lives in much the same way ordering aitstrikes would have.
These are deaths that happened for no reason besides spite and scoring political points to own the libs. It is beyond tragic and a stain on the soul of this nation.

i think opponents of trump also have to resist the temptation of intellectualizing his outbursts or attributing them to some recognizable goal. the fact is that trump is obsessed with greenland because it is big on a map. he wants canada because it is also big on a map. that's it.
