‘Crime of serious proportion!’ Trump unloads on Dem military vets in midnight ‘outburst’

Donald Trump at around midnight had an “outburst” in which he said Democratic military veterans have committed “a crime of serious proportion.”Trump took to Truth Social to respond to a video in which several Dem lawmakers with military and intelligence backgrounds reminded troops about their constitutional duty to deny “illegal” orders. Trump and MAGA analysts have suggested that the video was encouraging troops to ignore lawful orders, which was explicitly not what was stated in the video.”THE TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW, NOT ROAMING THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT WHAT THEY SAID WAS OK,” Trump wrote on Saturday night at 11: 17 PM. “IT WASN’T, AND NEVER WILL BE! IT WAS SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, AND SEDITION IS A MAJOR CRIME.”The president then added, “THERE CAN BE NO OTHER INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THEY SAID!”In a follow-up post, Trump added an additional claim, but didn’t provide supporting evidence.”MANY GREAT LEGAL SCHOLARS AGREE THAT THE DEMOCRAT TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS, AS PRESIDENT, HAVE COMMITTED A CRIME OF SERIOUS PROPORTION!” Trump wrote. An MSNBC host hours later called Trump’s comments an “outburst.”Read it here.

Letter: Parallels with Hitler too obvious to ignore

Donald Trump is following Hitler’s playbook to the letter. First, he energized his nationalistic base by demonizing a group of “outsiders,” blaming them for the country’s problems, while declaring opposition political parties enemies of the state.

‘Not a joke’: Internet aghast as Trump orders higher tariffs because Canada ‘made him sad’

Donald Trump Saturday announced higher tariff rates on Canada, specifically because of an anti-tariff ad using Ronald Reagan’s own words, and spurred outrage from observers. The president has for days raged about the ad, which plays the words of Reagan talking about the dangers of imposing too many barriers to trade on other countries. Then, Trump imposed real consequences over the weekend.”Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan’s Speech on Tariffs,” Trump claimed. “The Reagan Foundation said that they, ‘created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,’ and ‘did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter.’ The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canada’s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their ‘rescue’ on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States.”He then announced the 10% boost to tariffs for Canada. That didn’t sit well with onlookers, including White House correspondent Andrew Feinberg, who said, “Let’s be clear about what this is. Canada isn’t paying a godd thing. He’s increasing taxes on Americans by executive fiat because he didn’t like an advertisement that quoted Reagan’s (accurate) views on tariffs,” he then added. “You (and I) are paying these taxes not Canada.”MeidasTouch chimed in with, “Trump says he’s increasing tariffs on imports of Canadian goods by 10% because Ontario’s commercial that accurately used Ronald Reagan’s words about tariffs made him sad.”Economist Justin Wolfers said, “It just got 10% dumber. Not a joke: Trump just imposed an additional 10 percent tariff on Canada because he still doesn’t understand that Reagan was a vehement free trader,” he then added. Tax analyst Erica York said, “The President should not have the power to arbitrarily impose tariffs. Is the new 10% tariff on imports from Canada related to the fentanyl emergency or the reciprocal trade emergency or are hurt feelings also now a national emergency?” she further added.
