It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using “we” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.

16 years of the Citizens United decision has culminated into Donald Trump's second term.
It's been a little over a year and he's already profited off the presidency to the tune of $1,408,500,000.
It's corruption and self-enrichment in full effect.

Quite an obvious conclusion to draw. The publication has happily envelopes countries attacking our freedom. Perhaps it is time for a massive boycott of the rag.
At this stage, the Mail using an affectionate nickname in a headline on this story feels a bit like their infamous ‘Hurrah for the Blackshirts!’ front page.

#StandUpTrump. Newson is right. And he may have noticed his country’s response to European countries doing so - more bullying.
But Newsom he’s your bully. He’s your tyrant. It’s about time you stood up to him too. You’re letting him behave like Hitler and that is not good enough.

#Trump’s ‘up’. He now looks bound to destroy NATO.
Is he Putin in disguise? Does he have no idea of the impact he’s already had on the balance of power? Does he want a massive European war (of course he does if can make a few more #$M out of it)? Is there no one in the US who can stop him?

#MoreTariffs. So countries found to be trading with Iran will be charged 25% tariffs. Couple of points:
1 How will US Companies be charged? Oil companies and others.
2. How will service providers be charged? For example, banks and insurance companies.
3. Tariffs are paid by US consumers.
