The things Trump will do for Vlad... breaking up the Western Alliance and alienating our closest trading partners apparently wasn't enough.

Trump supporters don't understand what this means.

What exactly is the end game here? Make Indentured Servitude Acceptable Again? Meanwhile, at my local supermarket this afternoon, I observed a somewhat unnerving smidge of panic buying. I guarantee you, more retirees are going to start running out of SS check way before they run out of month.
