Five Hundred Percent and a Handshake
Read more . . . →Canada gets 50% tariffs on lumber and plywood. Russia got a handshake and a waiver. Two weeks ago Trump signed an executive order gutting every Russia sanction in the Graham Act before the ink was dry. Five hundred percent tariffs on Russian goods, gone. Hundred percent tariffs on countries buying Russian oil, gone. The excuse was a diesel deal with Putin that his own officials can’t explain the timeline on.

And behind it: brick. Not a ballot, not a lever, not a touchscreen, just a wall that was always there. The curtain is the most expensive part of the setup because the curtain is the only part that does anything. It gives you a moment of private silence while you stand in front of nothing.
