Trump had another Venezuelan boat blown up today. They don't know any more than I do who was on that boat. There were no questions asked, no interdiction, no boarding, no search, no -- due process. It was murder for the sheer sake of murder. Is he *trying* to start a war and kill a lot more people?

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.
