Possible people are taking care of things before the tariffs (consumer sales taxes) really, if ever, kick in. You're getting the cart before the horse but Dear Leader probably appreciates the propaganda.

Ask the question: Why are you withholding the Epstein files? Then ask it again.

I'm waiting for your reply. I'm prepared to trash Dems who are associated with Epstein. Trump is associated with Epstein. And he bragged about walking in on young girls who were getting dressed at a pageant because it was his pageant so he could do it. What are you prepared to accept about him?

Trump said he'd release them. Bondi said she had them. Now there's nothing there. Who's in charge? Biden's DOJ was investigating Prince Andrew. Now Bondi has dropped it. What about that? I'm not blindly loyal. Democrat or Republican: Abusing kids, pay for it. But first we have to see it.

Canadian business owners, keep this in mind. When trump lowers the tariffs you have room to up your prices to the usa consumer base. There's no reason at all not too. They are showing clearly they are willing to pay it. Canadian businesses have subsidized the usa market for too long. Up your rates.
