Trump tariffed every country, even penguins, but not Russia.
He said it’s because he’s negotiating the wars end. But he DID tariff Ukraine.

“Each of the outlets made a willful decision to forgo referring to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of Mexico. While it may have been performed in a subtle manner, make no mistake: It was still an act of submission.”
TV news networks brand themselves as fearless truth-tellers, but this week they flinched over three simple words: Gulf of Mexico.

Gulf of Fear
When news anchors tiptoe around the name Gulf of Mexico, it’s not just semantics—it’s a glimpse at how the press starts to flinch under political pressure.

The level of hype about today's phone call between Trump and Putin is ridiculous. They will discuss all kinds of concessions that they think Ukraine should make, and the 30 days unconditional ceasefire that Ukraine has actually offered will almost certainly not be on the agenda.
