So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

Even during blackouts, 🇺🇦 Ukraine keeps mobile internet on, because we don’t hide the truth. Meanwhile in Russia, more regions are shutting off mobile internet entirely, pretending it’s for “security.” In places like Ulyanovsk, they say it stays off until the end of Putin’s “special operation”.
