Dear CBS News personalities: The Canadians' ad did not portray Reagan's tariff policy fraudulently, and you do not have to repeat the president's false characterization of it.
Or if your new boss insists that you do, you can at least point out that it's false.

the Army played "FORTUNATE SON", for a military parade, while the troops were walking in front of the reviewing stand full of Senators, millionaires, generals, and the Commander in Chief? 😲🤯🫡
I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.
We will hold this administration accountable.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.
So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.
So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

A relief to hear this said. Trump operates from the same untested, blustering ideas he had in the 80s. They weren’t good then and even less so now.
It would be great if BUSINESS LEADERS were prepared to say what they clearly know - that Trump only knows how to run a muscle racket. And here we are.

Walz: "It's like Trump is stuck in the '80s. His music, his clothing, his thinking. He's been on this tariffs thing forever and every economist will tell you they just don't work ... I think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country is that Trump understands anything about business."

They showed no grace; no magnanimity of spirit; no diplomatic acumen. They were small bullies with big titles and they disrespected the history and legacy of the nation they lead.
Today, Donald Trump acted more like Russia's Putin than America's President.
