The fact that Donald Trump — after decades of ludicrous lies about his height, weight, and health — publicly trumpeted his illness on the very day his intimate birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein was published is the equivalent of an admission of guilt. Nothing more, nothing less.

25% tariff on all Canadian imports will devastate gas prices. Shown here are all the cross border imports of Canadian oil. Keep in mind that a lot of US oil cannot be directly used/refined in the U.S.— we actually export U.S. “light” crude and instead import “heavy” crude to use in U.S.
