The list of things that are not a "National Security threat" is getting pretty short.

Trump said on his Truth Social platform: "It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda!"

If you believe you're a total loser, everything is a threat.

Did Pres Trump give any specifics on how the tariffs would be levied, or a timetable?

... The Midnight Cowboy' and Heat' actor " also a "special ambassador" to the entertainment industry for the White House -- presented a plan to return more production to U.S. shores after meeting with industry stakeholders. ...

So, Pres Trump's apparent latest BFF has a plan?

Yet Pres Trump has not been able to describe his plan to substantiate the tariffs?


An actor seems to have bested Pres Trump in planning?

@#1 ... The list of things that are not a "National Security threat" is getting pretty short. ...

Yup.

Pres Trump seems to be using the "National Security threat" aspect a lot.

But then there is TikTok.

A Chinese company he has said he has a warm spot for. But why?

President Trump vows to extend Tik Tok' ban deadline until a deal is struck
www.foxbusiness.com

... 'Perhaps I shouldn't say this, but I have a little warm spot in my heart for TikTok,"'Trump said Sunday ...

So, TikTok, which was said to be a National Security issue for the US by a law passed by Congress and signed by fmr Pres Biden, so, a law in effect now ...

And Pres Trump seems to be ignoring that law because he has a "little warm spot" in his heart?


OK, let me ask this, if I want to ro a bank because I have "a little warm spot" in my heart about robbing that bank.

Does that make my crime of robbing that bank any less illegal?


So, taking a step back and looking at this ...

Pres Trump really does not seem to care one iota about "National Security threat."

He just seems to want to do what he wants to do.
