FinchHaven sfba"The triple toll of Trump’s terrible tariffs"
Of course the first toll was that #Trump was lying about #Tariffs all along and no one in either the #RepublicanParty or the #NationalNewsMedia had the backbone or the balls to tell him so
Cowards, every last one
Tariffs are not paid by the exporting country
Tariffs are paid by the importer at the Port of Entry, run by --> Customs <-- and Border Patrol, and ultimately by the US consumer
And, more:

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday told his representatives not to rush into any deal with Iran, as his administration played down hopes of an imminent breakthrough in the three-month-old war that had been raised just yesterday during public statements and calls with allies in the Middle East, according to Reuters.

BREAKING: Two sources close to Trump's negotiation team say Trump is now completely backing away from the US-Iran deal, under "extreme internal pressure from Israel and its US domestic allies," urging him not to accept Iran‘s terms
After this, Trump posted an image of Mark 84 bomb on a fighter jet, with his signature "Thank you for your attention to this matter" catchphrase stenciled directly on the bomb, on Truth Social.
Iran earlier warned already that the agreement "will be completely cancelled" due to ongoing US obstruction on key clauses.
The deal that never existed is now publicly collapsing.

Senate Republicans Cast Doubt on a Potential Peace Deal With Iran
"US Secret Service says Nasire Best, 21, of Maryland, who its officers fatally shot yesterday near the White House, had claimed he was Jesus Christ and the real Osama bin Laden..."
So
A known crazy guy then?
Putting a dozen live rounds into him is sure a helluva lot cheaper than getting him any help
And popping a few caps into some nutcase is cheaper than the #SecretService's daily dose of #Viagra for sure

At Sunday morning, it seems that Yet Another Attempt on Trump's Life has fallen off the news cycle
ho hum...
Except for mention that that this was the assailant's second contact with #SecretService, and that the assailant was convinced he was #JesusChrist
That's how it is in these #UnitedStates
Shoot the crazy people
Killing them with a dozen rounds is a helluva lot cheaper than helping them

Approx 35 shots heard here, sounds like initial burst of 6-8 and then return fire from a different angle.

"I was in the middle of taping on my iPhone for a social video from the White House North Lawn when we heard the shots.
It sounded like dozens of gunshots.
We were told to sprint to the press briefing room where we are holding now."

Internal Republican Party divisions intensify amid disputes over spending bills and Trump influence
This opinion article argues that the Republican Party is experiencing significant internal turmoil driven by conflicts over major spending decisions, policy priorities, and the continued influence of Donald Trump. The author describes a chaotic political week in which Senate and House Republicans struggled to maintain unity over legislation tied to immigration enforcement funding, proposed infrastructure spending, and controversial additions such as a costly presidential ballroom project. According to the piece, disagreements escalated as Senate Republicans clashed with party leadership and the Trump-aligned agenda, leading to canceled votes, stalled negotiations, and lawmakers leaving Washington without passing key measures. The article highlights tensions between Republican senators and House members, as well as frustration with Trump-endorsed political strategies and personnel decisions. It claims that some GOP lawmakers openly criticized elements of the proposed funding package, including a disputed “anti-weaponization fund,” which opponents framed as politically and ethically problematic. The piece also points to intra-party disputes over foreign policy, including war powers resolutions related to potential military action in Iran, which further exposed divisions within the party. Throughout the narrative, the author emphasizes that Republican leadership appears unable to maintain discipline, with Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate leaders portrayed as struggling to manage competing factions. The article suggests that these conflicts reflect deeper structural problems within the GOP, particularly the tension between traditional conservative lawmakers and those aligned more closely with Trump’s political agenda. It concludes by arguing that these ongoing disputes could weaken Republican electoral prospects heading into future elections if the party cannot restore internal cohesion.
