Thank you President Trump for helping make South Park great again.

President Trump is supposed to be the great dealmaker. But he got only $20 million from Paramount, while Trey Parker & Matt Stone of South Park got $1.5 billion. Pathetic! Trump ought to be ashamed at his terrible deal. POTUS should admit that South Park is a better negotiator.

If illegal immigrants are not under the jurisdiction of the USA (so the 14th Amendment / birthright citizenship doesn't apply), doesn't that mean that ICE cannot arrest them, and the US fed govt cannot require them to have work visas or Social Security numbers to work?

Trump promised that tariffs would lower the cost of goods. So why is he afraid if Amazon lists tariff charges? Shouldn't Trump thank Amazon for letting us know how much cheaper everything is becoming? usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

mikewinddale's tweet card. President Trump personally called Jeff Bezos after reading about reported plans for Amazon to list tariff prices. Amazon denied the plans.

Canada may have forced Trump to halt tariffs by organizing a Treasury note (federal debt) selloff, increasing the interest rate on federal debt. The USA depends on other countries' support and goodwill. deanblundell.substack.com/p/carneys-chec…?

"Economists can't predict or prevent recessions, so why should we trust them on tariffs?" is the equivalent of "Physicists can't unify the theories of gravity and quantum mechanics, so why should we trust them when they describe how to build a stable bridge over a river?"
