It’s incredible how much his supporters will bend backwards to explain away his “victories”

Especially since they aren’t even benefitting from his actions, just his billionaire supporters are

Remember when he said he could kill someone on 5th avenue and they defend them? It’s true.

It requires less mental gymnastics to defend his power grabs and his crushing of the US economy

Fight. Don’t bend like democrats usually do

Democrats need to be more accepting of people who don’t look like them, but think like them.

No more purity tests to be part of the pro-democracy movement

Im not saying it’s a bad thing that we have one with Russia. But if that’s the excuse for these tariffs, then let’s look at the fact we do have one .

Republicans have pivoted from competence to people who they believe are good on camera at grifting. Oz is an excellent choice in this regard

And guess who’s not in the list for tariffs? Russia 🇷🇺

White House claims that this is because we “don’t have meaningful trade with Russia”

Yet this is a lie. See my pinned post for their own figures showing that we buy $3.5b Russian imports, with a $2.5b trade deficit

These are their own numbers. While down since the 2022 inversion, trade with Russia is still well into the billions.

See my pinned post for the numbers of our trade deficit with Russia. 🇷🇺

Flies in the face of the White House claim that lack of tariffs on Russia is the reason they are not on the list.

Biggest rouse in this whole affair

It is obviously a lie that Russia isn’t on the list because we have no trade with them. We buy $ 3.5 billion dollars of Russian imports
April 3, 2025 at 8:19 PM
And Russia is suspiciously missing from the list. See my pinned post for the numbers on the real trade deficit with Russia
