REPORTER: Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding. Isn't that a perfect demonstration that it's the American consumer who is paying for these policies?

LEAVITT: This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.

Wait a few months when tariffs will really hit Americans… wondering what’s the floor for Trump’s approval rating.

This isn’t a “seems like” or “appears to be” event…

It was intentional, deliberate, and unequivocal.

Crazy Liv
Lastly, “Liv” admits that “white” is a “neutral” identity.

And again, Liv says that she sucks.

And then blames it on a fictional woman with an Asian name.

That’s enough today for today.

You allow Russia to invade one country, you invite Russia to invade the next country.

You allow Russia to shoot down one passenger plane, you invite Russia to shoot down the next passenger plane.

You allow Russia to cut one undersea cable, you invite Russia to cut more undersea cables.
