This moron thinks that leaving one store for another cheaper store is the same as ‘economic hostility’ toward the expensive store.

Clearly, an oligarch who has never shopped. But also bankrupted 3 CASINOS, as well as numerous other BS business ventures for fraud and other crimes….

“We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution.”
Trump: I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don't need to purchase it from China. 173 ReTruths 753 Likes 10/14/25, 12:37 PM

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

LIES. He likes money, has NO clue how to manage it - only extort others for more of it!

The USD index fell about 8% since Trump took office. In the first half of 2025 the USD saw a 10.8% decline, the largest first-half drop since 1973, following a decade-long rally where the USD gained nearly 40%.

“The Young Republican National Federation condemns all forms of racism, antisemitism, and hate,” Padgett said. “...such behavior is entirely inconsistent with our values and has no place within our organization...”

WRONG. Be honest, the only thing GOP condemns is being caught or called out for it!

Gov. Bill Lee (dodges question): “If they’re not a criminal element, then they shouldn’t be afraid.”

And I’m saying that as a former soldier who knows the importance of a free press.

Soybean farmer reacts to Trump’s bailouts:

"A government payment is nothing more than throwing a dollar bill on a spilled glass of milk . It's designed to not make us whole as farmers, and that's the biggest misnomer of all... This is a man-made disaster. This is caused by this administration"

New in PN: Republicans are totally full of it on healthcare.

It becomes more obvious every time they talk about it. And it's a big reason the shutdown is turning out to be such a disaster for them.

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.
