Well. He had an idea. A terribly awful idea! He stole Christmas eliminating “de minimus” in his tarrif plan. We sent my daughter’s presents a month in advance. Paid the postage. Paid the duties and they have languished in a US customs warehouse for over 3 weeks now! Merry Christmas Mr #Trump

@anitasagastegui.bsky.social Kyoto and La Boca, B. A. You have experienced and captured beauty in many beautiful corners of the world Anita. Thanks so much for sharing. Did you visit Palacio Barolo in BA? Stunning. Based on Dante’s Commedia Divina. It has a sister building in Uruguay.

History lesson: US duped Brits into trading their jet engine tech in exchange for rocket tech. US never honoured their end. Canada had developed the Avro Arrow which eclipsed US tech. We scrapped it for US jets which can be back doored!! Bring back the Avro program & scrap the $35B F35 contact!
