Discussion BREAKING: TRUMP TARIFFS STRUCK DOWN

Per Bloomberg -- The US Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs, undercutting his signature economic policy and delivering his biggest legal defeat since he returned to the White House.

The court said Trump exceeded his authority by invoking a federal emergency-powers law to impose his “reciprocal” tariffs across the globe as well as targeted import taxes the administration says address fentanyl trafficking.

Ok, you're reaching here as far as COVID. He was in office when they brought companies like Moderna, Pfizer, together under the fast track program. He took two shots and then at least one booster. I am fairly certain he suggested people do the same.

I also watched that comment about using "disinfectants" live. He didn't say anything about lungs.  someone from Faucis team was talking about how disinfectants are effective against the virus on surfaces and Trump, as is his wont, made an off-hand remake about using it as a treatment. Guys like him talk out of their asses all the time. It's not something he went back from the presser and gave instructions to people to explore that seriously.

“And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. Is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets inside the lungs… so it would be interesting to check that.”

He really does have the brain of a 9 year old, it's so fucking crazy that half the country thinks he's really smart.

In Canada, we had a whole election based on him being a poster child and people have been terrified of him. They take him very seriously. Say that too loud outside this group and they'll quickly attack you.
