But Pride flags are apparently "divisive". US agency flies Christian Nationalist flag.
Honestly there are so many things happening that I was waving my arms about in 2018 and 2019, and people were like "meh, why do you give these people attention?" I'm so old and tired now; I imagine it's a feeling many reporters share.

Tяump loves tariffs because he sees them as a projection of his personal power. They are his weapon of first resort because he has no negotiating skills whatsoever while relying upon his supporters failure to understand that tariffs are a tax on the consumers of the nation that levied them.
