Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Wasn’t it just a week ago that we were supposed to get a 30-day pause? And now, suddenly, he’s focused on steel and aluminum imports?

No one in Canada is surprised. Did anyone actually believe this guy? That his word meant anything? He’s a criminal.

Kanye West is an antisemite.

And yet, Donald Trump met with Kanye at the White House.

And had dinner with Kanye at Mar-a-Lago.

And said Kanye is “a really nice guy” with a “good heart.”

The Trump administration mocked Selena Gomez for showing empathy for immigrants.

Where’s their outrage here?
