President Trump recently ordered the U.S. Mint to stop producing pennies, as each penny, he said, has "literally cost us more than 2 cents." But taking action on the penny or any other coin comes with trade-offs. nyti.ms/4kbvG2W

It’s amazing how many Republican politicians, Fox hosts, & commentators have come out to strongly disagree with Trump’s statements about Ukraine while none of them even mentioned his name while doing so. Their level of fear and terror of Trump is something to watch.

Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend.
