Trump’s going to go ballistic over this tariff vote, and you can count on him trying to just disregard Congress on it.

Today, Republicans failed to block action on Trump’s Canada tariffs — a win for Colorado workers, families, and small businesses. These tariffs raise costs and hurt local businesses. We are close to repealing this failed policy for good.

Morouns now in charge of North American infrastructure.
The Moroun family had previously called on Mr. Trump to halt the construction of the Gordie Howe bridge — which, once opened, would compete with the Ambassador Bridge for the more than $300 million in daily cross-border trade. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/w...

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

Pure corruption of the crudest sort. And Lutnick and Trump are in on it. A Detroit billionaire met with Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, hours before President Trump said he would block the opening of a new bridge connecting Detroit to Canada, officials said.

There is no other way to put it: Donald Trump is an ignoramus. I’ve said It before and I’ve tried to tone it down a bit. But when all is said and done, I have to conclude that the current president of the USA is not only incompetent, but mindless. #MAGA wake up! www.threads.com/@femmmmooo/p...
