U.S. 📻 played us the wrong Chumbawamba song!

🎶 The world is riddled with maggots;
the maggots are getting fat

They're making a tasty meal of the bosses & bureaucrats

They're taking over the boardrooms; they're fat & full of pride

& they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died 🎶

Such a small, petty man — changes a U.S. trade policy because he feels slighted by an advertisement (which is factually correct).
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/10/25/trump-canada-tariffs-reagan-ad/

Trump raises tariffs on Canada by 10% over Reagan ad

The president had halted trade talks with Canada over a provincial government’s ad that has since been canceled.

I really had no idea a president could do this. I thought stewardship of the White House rested elsewhere. Maybe it does, and Trump just steamrolled through this like everything else. Add "vandal" to his resume of ignomony.
