I have a very simple question for other nations regarding Trump and tariffs. Why even negotiate with him? You can make concessions and close an agreement. It won’t matter. Trump just weeks later will decide the deal he negotiated is off for some reason having nothing to do with trade.

Arrested?
Charged with a crime?
Convicted of a crime?
Call Ed Martin at the US Pardon Office today!
For a 7-figure donation to Trump’s PAC, you too can receive a pardon.
Trump will even tell the press you were “treated unfairly”, even though he doesn’t know who you are.

Trump has transformed the justice system into a Putin-style autocratic protection racket. The wealthy are not audited or investigated, if convicted they are pardoned. Political opponents are targeted. Unidentified masked agents grab people off the street, and protesters are shot.

Is any Democrat besides Jamie Raskin going to talk about Trump selling pardons for millions of dollars to some of the most disgusting fraudsters and drug dealers in history? Any one of these is an impeachable offense and there are new ones almost every day. He isn’t even hiding the quid-pro-quo.

Maimed for life, and nearly killed by ICE. Feeling safer yet?
I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough bc it's dangerous to. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.
