He can't believe Canada would do this to him.

You should totally build your factory on this very large pile of dynamite because the cackling madman over there might not light the fuse.

It's almost as if, and stay with me here, domestic and global financial markets don't have the attention span of a goldfish.

Two weeks before the election. Trump was loudly announcing that he would "fix" the economy with mass tariffs two weeks before the election. Anyone who claims they couldn't see this coming is either lying or so breathtakingly stupid they probably shouldn't be out in public without a handler.

A month ago these same people were all about crypto-bros and the stock market, despite those being the literal opposite of "working with your hands". It's just the latest iteration of their isolationist, nativist, "My opinion is whatever makes me right" worldview.

I really don't know how to feel about this. Like, pulling a protection detail as punishment for disloyalty is unequivocally wrong, but also may be don't be an irredeemable warmonger who openly calls for the destruction of a foreign nation if you don't want people to want you dead.

Republicans are destroying this country.

Ironically, this tactic highlights something they really try to keep quiet: undocumented immigrants pay taxes, which go to services they themselves frequently do not qualify for. They contribute far more than they take.

Elon Musk, well known for his grace and humility when being publically rejected. This will be gasoline on a dumpster fire.

You forgot the part where coal industry bosses waited until Trump won to come out and admit that Hillary was right and coal couldn't compete with natural gas.

Him existing in that group in the first place is likely the biggest story he was going to get out of it. Leaving when he did was the smart decision.
