If you had questions about Trump's "assassination attempts" wait until you see info about the guy who shot the National Guard troops. He was a CIA trained killer who worked in an elite unit in Afghanistan known for killing civilians. Now he travelled from Wash state to DC to shoot random troops 🤔

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

Want to know how bad Donald Trump is losing his trade war with China?
Last month, he said China will buy 12 million tons of US soybeans by January. China hasn’t even bought 1/10th of that amount yet.

CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge.

Instead of cracking down, Trump's Justice Department struck a “deal” that lets them continue to rip off renters.
