@Tidemark, I like this one! :)[MEDIA]
Certainly there is a lot of “theatre” going on.I think one additional problem is the Trump/Vance team has no compunction about outright lying....
Oh, I didn’t miss it. He is imposing tariffs all over the place, on countries he has no intention of invading, eg China. That’s why I think...
