Trump has violated the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. He started with tariffs under the pretext of fentanyl entering the US from Canada. He wanted to tariff the wind. Trump and his administration lie constantly. He cannot be removed from office fast enough.

Trump continues his efforts to ruin the Canadian economy in order to make Canada subordinate to the U.S. The U.S. is an enemy country to Canada and many other countries because of Trump and the Republicans.

share.googleTrump imposing 50% tariffs on certain Canadian goods over alleged trade discriminationCanada's relationship with the U.S. has frayed amid Trump's tariff-heavy agenda and vocal displeasure with the nations' trilateral trade pact with Mexico.

The old U.S. president & the climate change-denying Republicans want to punish America's former ally, Canada, with tariffs over forest fires caused by climate change & lightning strikes. Tariffs for cold & snowy winter weather are likely next. So much for Canada helping to fight U.S. forest fires.

Pulte passed the Trump loyalty test.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse@whitehouse.senate.gov

Pulte has no business at DNI, interim, temporary, part-time or otherwise. Period. Bad enough to weaponize Americans’ banking data; give him intelligence data and the damage to our Intelligence Community’s reputation will be profound. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Hypocrisy rules the Republican party.

So, government shutdowns will be a thing of the past. Future presidents will simply issue EOs that staff have to be paid. Congress will no longer control the purse strings. Plus, the Constitution and laws are irrelevant to Trump and the Republicans. This does not bode well for democracy.

Trump and his FCC are doing their bullying routine in order to eliminate the media. Democratic institutions are slowly withering as the country collapses.

JoJoFromJerz@jojofromjerz.bsky.social

The sitting president of the United States just sat behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office of the White House and referred to the Governor of California as the President of the United States. Can the media start reporting on his deteriorating mental state now or nah?

Billionaires getting tax cuts and the MAGA cult will support Trump and the post-Trump Republicans through to the collapse of the country.

The war with Iran is insanity in its own right. But it is gross incompetence Trump went to war with Iran with no plan to keep open the Strait of Hormuz. Now Iran is laying mines, global oil shipping is paralyzed, gas prices are skyrocketing and food prices are close behind.

Trump, his WH press secretary and Hegseth want little to be said in the press about soldiers dying in Trump's war on Iran. And yet, just the House Republican special committee alone looking into the deaths in the Benghazi attack took 2 years, cost $7M, and produced 800 pages of partisan rhetoric.

Trump is an unhinged small man, with a dictator mentality. Billionaires and Republicans go along for the money and power.

Trump has installed himself as the dictator. The sycophants and Republicans are happy with this as they kiss the ring and kneel next to the power. The Constitution is of little value.

Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Negotiating meant little to Trump. Trump followed Putin's negotiating playbook. His 2 key negotiators have little political and government negotiating experience, they're just looking out for Trump's business grift. Trump was delaying in order for the CIA to advise a time for an assassination.

cnn.comCIA closely watched Khamenei for months before fatal strikes in Iran | CNN PoliticsFor months, Israeli and American intelligence agencies — including the CIA — had been secretly watching Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for just the right moment.

Trump's bullies at work. Who's to believe their lies that the government won't use AI for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons? Laws are not stopping them now.

Cruelty and rage won't end with Trump. The Republicans have found Trumpism to be an effective way to power.

Governor JB Pritzker@govpritzker.illinois.gov

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

Trump should try to understand the expected damage to the US if he single-handedly continues economic war on Canada. Republicans and their voters will have no one to blame but themselves. Trump and his family will be fine - they are grifting billions off the presidency this time.

Diplomacy is no where near Charles Kushner's strong suit. Kushner is a Trump-pardoned convicted criminal - 18 counts including tax evasion. Sentenced to two years in federal prison, his crimes included hiring a sex worker to seduce his brother-in-law and sending the film to his sister.
