So let me get this straight: The President’s plan to lower prices is to roll back some of his own tariffs?

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

#RBNY, at 12-12-7 and 1.39 PPG, currently sits outside of the Eastern Conf Playoffs.
Their 43 points would place 6th on the Western table.
Red Bulls have qualified for playoffs EIGHT TIMES with a worse PPG than they have this season. The team has a better PPG than both Cup teams (2008 & 2024).
