If you buy a Microsoft Surface tablet today you will pay 35% more than you would have in 2024 despite the product being exactly the same - same guts/specs/everything. It's a damned shame. Only in Shamerica, Trumplandia the Awful, does the price on dated electronic devices with 2-year-old specs go UP. Never ever heard of paying more for dated tech. #TrumpTariffs #Microsoft #Surface #lessformore

If you've been following the news from the #LasVegas area, you'll have learned that the #TrumpWar, the #TrumpTariffs, and the #BoycottUSA effect resulting from threats of invasion or sanctions made against Canada, Greenland, and a lot of European erstwhile allies, have resulted in a marked decline in the Nevada economy.

Casino revenue falls 11 percent, passengers down 8 percent, but a 2.2 percent decline in visitors is considered a win.

Trump’s strategy to get his way: declare one fake ā€˜emergency’ after another

The US president’s tactic could put this fall’s elections at risk. A supreme court decision could go far to protect them

#Canada has similar problems with a U.S.A. ambassador, #PeteHoekstra, playing these controlling manipulative mobster-esque games.

The way that Hoekstra puts it, when Canadians respond to the repeated '51st state' and 'governor' arrogance, the #TrumpTariffs, the #GordieHoweInternationalBridge claims, and the CBP/ICE enforcements and enhanced border checks against Canadians, it is they who are somehow initiating the nastiness.

The Trump war, Trump tariffs and Trumpflation are why we can’t have nice things.

There was a video the other day that talked about the 'most highly anticipated obituary in the history of the world'. Abundantly clear whose obituary was meant just from the title alone.

There are few people in history who have manged to taint their very names. Caesar. Atilla. Napoleon. Hitler.
