Trump is so used to people covering for his lies, and no one calling him out on them, that it probably shocked him to have China flat out say this.
China denies any negotiations with the US. The US must drop all tariffs to initiate talks. "Any claims about the progress of China-US trade negotiations are groundless and have no factual basis." Trump claims “They had a meeting this morning, but he won't reveal who 'they' are."

The constitutional crisis is here.
The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador.

Is it relevant that America’s literal origin story is that a people went to war over an unaccountable authority imposing an unreasonable tax on them. (and that tax was an import tax, a tariff)

The is no limit to how much brutality the Trump admin is willing to allow Russia to get away with. They have never once condemned a single atrocity committed by Putin. Trump played golf while this happened and didn’t say a word about it.

The Wisconsin statute is plain. You cannot offer anything of value to any elector to dissuade or induce them to vote. Period. It prohibits the same with respect to going to the polls for a particular candidate. There’s no innocent explanation for what Musk is doing now to get voters to the polls.
