Those dozen or more "trade proposals" the WH says it has received?

They're "far from final offers, according to a dozen foreign diplomats .. Rather, they are preliminary outlines of what their governments are willing to discuss .."

What’s in those trade ‘proposals on paper’ countries have sent the White House? Depends who you ask.

While the Trump administration has been bragging about a number of potential trade deals, foreign officials say discussions are much more tentative.

Trump’s sputtering response to Harvard standing up to him is yet another reason why institutions should refuse to bend the knee. He’s a paper tiger, unable to argue his own case.

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump
Everyone knows that Harvard has "lost its way." They hired, from New York (Bill D) and Chicago (Lori L), at ridiculously high salaries/fees, two of the WORST and MOST INCOMPETENT mayors in the history of our Country, to "teach" municipal management and government. These two Radical Left fools left behind two cities that will take years to recover from their incompetence and evil. Harvard has been hiring almost all woke, Radical Left, idiots and "birdbrains" who are only capable of teaching FAILURE to students and so-called "future leaders." Look just to the recent past at their plagiarizing President, who so greatly embarrassed Harvard before the United States States Congress. When it got so bad that they just couldn't take it anymore, they moved this grossly inept woman into another position, teaching, rather than firing her ON THE SPOT.
Since then much else has been found out about her, but she remains in place. Many others, like these Leftist dopes, are teaching at Harvard, and because of that, Harvard can no longer be considered even a decent place of learning, and should not be considered on any list of the World's Great Universities or Colleges. Harvard is a JOKE, teaches Hate and Stupidity, and should no longer receive Federal Funds. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Judge Boasberg: "The Constitution does not tolerate willful disobedience of judicial orders ... To permit such officials to freely 'annul the judgments of the courts' … would not just 'destroy the rights acquired under those judgments'; it would make 'a solemn mockery' of 'the constitution itself.'"

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening:

She warned us over & over again & she was so right.

That's $660 billion.

That's a lot of golf.
