I’m a college professor, and although it’s easy to mock and ridicule this fool, to hear the President say that Harvard is a threat to democracy is chilling. This will invariable lead to a much bigger social movement against academia. It must not be allowed to succeed.

Irony: those who fly the Gadsden "Don't Tread on Me” flag, a symbol of resistance against oppression, are the same who support the greatest governmental power grab in our history. What they call freedom is actually privilege. Their closed minded views can’t understand what freedom really is.

He’s wants countries to buy their way out of the tariffs. Not to us, to him. He’s going to personally gain from this. We’ll never know how more than likely, and it more than likely will be more than he who gains from this, but make no mistake, he’s profiting off of this.
Trump surrogates send conflicting messages after the tariffs announcement.
Eric Trump: "The first to negotiate will win — the last will absolutely lose."
WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: “The president made it clear yesterday this is not a negotiation — this is a national emergency."
