I wonder if China considered Donny Two Dolls' tariffs economically hostile acts?

So we don't need to buy cooking oil from China, so I guess we have them over a barrel this time.

So who do we need to buy Rare Earth Elements from?
🤡🤡🤡

Trump on Truth Social:
I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybeans Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don't need to purchase it from China.

Oh nothing, just the 6th unidentified boat with 6 (we'll pretend) "cartel" or "gang" members ready to deliver drugs to the US (or taking some nice red snapper home to Tobega for dinner), blown out of the water in our multimillion-dollar (billions?) effort to justify seizing Venezuela's oilfields.

H5 bird flu has been infecting new animal species beyond cows. Historically infected humans' mortality rate is 50%, & the danger is this could become a worse pandemic than COVID.

Luckily CDC under Trump is ramping up to meet this dire challenge.

oh, wait ...

Angie Rasmussen @angierasmussen.bsky.social · Apr 21

So this interview lasted 2 hours so this “you’re scaring me” part might seem like an overreaction or fearmongering to someone without that context.

There’s a lot of evidence to support my hypothesis that a potential H5N1 pandemic would be worse than COVID.

And the boy that shoots the arrows

Now that the International Criminal Court is being mentioned as perhaps a place where the likes of Stephen Miller & Kristi Noem could someday wind up, it's instructive to recall Marco Rubio is apparently working to dismantle it.

Trump administration imposes new sanctions on four ICC judges, prosecutors

President Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday imposed sanctions on two judges and two prosecutors at the International Criminal Court, as Washington ramped up its pressure on the war tribunal over its targeting of Israeli leaders and a past decision to investigate U.S. officials.
